Spring Float

[Chief Grey Bear]

From the looks of things, we have a few that would like to have a spring float like we have had in the fall. So lets start a sign up.

1. List your name, screen name is fine. If you used your real name I wouldn't know who you were.

2. List how many will be in your boat.

3. List what you may bring for food if you guy's would like to stop for a shore lunch like we did last time.

4. List what river/creek you prefer to float.

5. Pick you preferred date to float.

I know KC would love to be on this and I know he only has 1 weekend open in May but, I can't remember what that date is at the moment but that is the one that I will pick.

EDIT: If there is anyone that would like to join us but does not have a canoe, it looks like we will have some empty front seats in a couple of boats. I just talked to KC and he has offered his front seat to anyone that would like to come along. I am sure Buzz would offer the same. I also will have a 12ft Ram-X jon and a canoe that I can make available.

Edit #2. I suggest we do one of two floats. The one we did last time was Cherry Corner to Allen Bridge. There is ample, safe parking at both ends. It only about a 1.5 - 2 mile float with a great place about half way to do our cook out. Or we could go from Allen bridge to Lime Kiln. Again safe, ample parking is available. We could either stop half way and do the cookout or float on through to the Lime Kiln access and use the facilites there. Which really only consist of a picnic table and bbq gill. But with the looks of all the food that we will have, I think that table will come in very handy! This also a 1.5 - 2 mile float with some outstanding fishing in between. I think I will vote Allen to Lime.

Which ever float we decide on, I think we should plan on hitting the water at 9am. We should probably meet by 8am, get vehicles and boats in place and get organized. So since I am going to pick the Allen to Lime float, I say we meet at the Lime Kiln access at 8 am May 29. If you agree just post that you agree or post what float you would like to do.

Type your response as below and I will Copy and Past to this post to make it easy for all of us to keep track. Please answer all 5 even if you don't have a preference on a float or a date. It can help make a decision.

Hey guys,I'm the KC that Chief's referring to in his post. To all those concerned that are wanting to do this spring float get together. Came across Chief's post and we ended up talking on the phone about two minutes later.

Look, the ONLY weekend I have open in May is Memorial Day. I realize that weekend is tough for most people to plan an outing like this. Family get togethers and such.

I hope to meet all of you that have shown interest in this, but please plan whatever works for you that have posted and whomever you're wanting to bring.

If only a few of you can do a float Memorial Day that's great. But those who can't should plan a float with Chief and hopefully Buzz. They are both a couple of characters who happen to know a thing or two about stream fishing.

This forum is a great place for fisherman to get together and become fishing buddies. See ya on the water...

Are y'all talking memorial day or 1 day that weekend.If say saturday I could make it but already have plans for monday.

[Buzz]

I could probably do May 30. ( the day before Memorial Day )

I'll bring the condiments for the Dogs and maybe some pop for anyone that doesn't bring alternative beverages.

Any float on Shoal Creek will work for me. I'm pretty easy.

[Wheatenheimer]

I'd like to try one of these!

1. List your name, screen name is fine. If you used your real name I wouldn't know who you were. Wheatenheimer

2. List how many will be in your boat. 1, unless women and dogs are welcome (might bring the dog)

3. List what you may bring for food if you guy's would like to stop for a shore lunch like we did last time. Stuffed Jalepenos

4. List what river/creek you prefer to float.Don't care

5. Pick you preferred date to float.Any Saturday, except May 15 and should be fine

[Chief Grey Bear]

You bet you can bring your dog. It has been a while since I have seen ronnie.

Glad to hear you can make it.

I think the saturday (May 29) would be best for all. But I am open to all of them. Just put down a date that works best for you. If we can get this done this week or next, it will give all of us a chance to discuss a date and plan for it.

All - If you are interested in doing this float, please follow Wheaties example and post your answers in that form so I can easily transfer it to the original post. It will make this much easier to keep track of for all of us. And please answer all of the questions. Any "I don't care" responses will be don't help us. So like Wheatie, he has now voted for Shoal creek on Saturday May 29.

You know since this is a G rated forum I'm just not going to respond to that. But I bet you can guess what I would say.
