BilletHead Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago Like in all OAF official and unofficial fests getting all that you want to eat is not a problem. Thursday evening for the ones there we had Milo chili, big hands Rob and little Hands Rob's wife Kathy or was it Kelly? 😆 Ask Milo about that deal. They brought lasagna. Pat and I contributed braised venison in red wine with buns and BBQ sauce. Desserts also were brought! That same evening there was some jousting on the next mornings breakfast. A choice between package biscuits and gravy or Real homemade biscuits and gravy. That's when Pat made a call. You see we are not late night which means some of these people all nighters. Biscuits and gravy will be served at 7am. Pat got with The program and left our room at 6:45 with me shortly after to start cooking the sausage. I'm not sure if it was the noise or the smell but soon almost all we working into the unit 15 kitchen to fill plates as Rob scrambled some eggs. So we seemed to be one person short that morning and that was Milo. He claimed later he was working remote. I have another theroy but draw your own conclusions people. From then on its a blur for meals on Friday. Kinda a free for all of things brought and shared for that day. Soup, leftover lasagna etc,etc. Duane gave us one of his charcuterie boards and with his input Pat assembled it. Note he told Pat as she cut the giant grapes in half to carve them like swans. Well that didn't happen and I called them turtles.

BilletHead Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago In between all this eating was some fishing. With all the threadfin shad going through the turbines running on peak electric demand the bite on white was off the charts catching rainbow and browns that when being unhooked and released were puking out shad. Some so packed you could see shad protruding out of their gullets into the mouth. Each morning trip and evening trips the brave Anglers came back with wind burned faces and cold fingers but great stories. Pat and I did not fish this trip giving it up to the younger ones. There was a 20 buck each pool for the biggest fish. I'm not sure of the winner but someone came up with a three way tie.😐. This brought us to day three Saturday morning. More breakfast of sausage and package sausage gravy with more eggs and bacon. We missed that but got in on some crispy cold bacon. More fishing and then the afternoon big meal where Michael's wife, mother ,daughter and her fiance were to eat with all. Seth got his cooker fired up and into the hot oil crappie fillets we released for a quick swim. Then thin cut potatoes and onions that Grizwilson had prepared. It was a rotation of crappie, potatoes, hush puppies and wild turkey. Over and over until all had a swim in the hot oil. Coleslaw too. Everyone got full and then desserts were put out. There wasn't much leftovers. After this there was the tribute to Michael one of our OAF comrades. We all miss you friend. Just about all of the jigfest and taneyfest tribe have spent time with Michael fishing here or there. He was the first person I had in my boat at my first jigfest. I also got to spend even more time with him fishing the spring River in Oklahoma for the white bass run. Lots of conversations and fish catching.

BilletHead Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago A synopsis from myself, Fun times, we missed the ones that normally make it because of other commitments, we missed the ones that have not yet made this type of trip. You should and you know who you are. This is a gathering of like minded people. You don't have to fish. You don't have to think you have to bring food if you don't want to. There are some great conversations and laughs. Normally @gotmuddy Cody starts getting us laughing then another tells a story and then another. We laugh until our sides hurt. Plenty to do. Town is close and even being the off season still lots of shops open to check out. Lilly's rooms looking out the window are great. When generation started this morning Pat and I could see trout midging the surface eating out our window. Good times. gotmuddy, grizwilson, Quillback and 5 others 8 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted 20 hours ago Author Root Admin Posted 20 hours ago Fished this evening. Trying to beat the best - 18.5 inches I heard. Didn't quite beat it. Fly fished a small 1/100th oz white jig fly tied with white antron material, very sparse. Caught a lot of fish from :Lookout down the bluff. No generation but there was a nice chop. No video... which is nice. I don't get out much without having to video and talk... no pressure! Quillback, BilletHead, Ryan Miloshewski and 7 others 10

Ryan Miloshewski Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Great time as always. I laugh so much my sides hurt. Fishing was fantastic and the food even better. Kevin, Seth and I went out Friday afternoon and I caught them good on jerkbaits and they did well on jigs. 17-inch brown was the biggest, and I could hardly hold it. Seth and I fished Saturday morning when it was 9 degrees. With the sun and the biting fish, we didn't even notice the cold. We whacked them on jerkbaits and jigs. Fish were puking up shad, scales, and shad paste as Marty called it. I don't know how they were still hungry, but it sure was fun! Pulling the boats out Sunday, Cody mentioned his gas tank was low. Seth said "oh I have a 5-gal tank up at the cabin." "Nah, I'll be ok." I was taking Seth's boat down to the ramp and thought to myself "I will stay behind Cody in case he runs out." Well, he didn't make it past Cooper Creek and I saw him start to slow. Milo to the rescue! Some food pics. Everything was fantastic, per usual.
