This was a very enjoyable get-together! It was great to meet Phil, Quill, Terrier, Dan/Sandy and Bass Yakker. Also great to see Andrew, Marty and Pat again.
Good backstrap medallions, summer sausage sandwiches, jalapeño potato salad and burgers. You know the food is good when every fly in the county shows up😀
Fishing wise: you all know I typically target only the big fish. But for this trip I thought I’d try this micro fishing everyone’s talking about. Of course I was wildly successful. 🤪
It’s not a big deal to bring the tabletop griddle. I’ll cover the burgers and buns.
I’m looking forward to meeting new folks face-to-face and seeing some old friends too.
Trying to pin this down reminds me of when a friend and I broke open a thermostat and tried to corral the mercury.
I may just get 11 Happy Meals and call it good. 50-50 McNuggets and hamburgers. 😜
I'll bring enough hamburger to make double smash burgers for about 10 folks. I'll pick up some buns too I guess.
Dan is saying 1:00, but I'm not clear where we're sposta be.
This isn't an overnighter -- just several guys floating and then them, and a few non-floaters, meeting up for a quick gathering afterward around Galena.
I'm going to drive down Friday evening, stay overnight and wade fish in the area Saturday morning. Then I'll head over to the meeting place. I plan to head home Saturday evening.
Alright, let's get this nailed down:
Are we meeting at Y Bridge Park in Galena, around 1:00?
What's the head count?
What's on the menu? Backstrap medallions & ?? Hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, chips, beans, condiments??
I'm happy to chip in wherever.
I've tried a few different types of brat, including from a pretty cool little German meat shop near here (Werner's), the Hermann Wurst Haus in Hermann, and KC Bier Co, who specializes in German beer and has a small menu of German foods. I just like the Johnsonville brats best.
We do the beer boil too -- wifey likes to add onions. Then we finish them quickly on the grill. You?
