Looks like I'll be there on the 17th something came up with family for the 18th baring getting called in I'll be there Friday afternoon Coming off yard that morning so I need to get some shut eye. Most likely head home about Ihop time Sat. Just have to see how I hold up

[Gentleben]

Ok piper Bigdave said the little park will be ok it is just north of Lake Houston Marina , matter of fact a fence is only thing that seperates the two.
Big dave is in charge of the hospitality and planning comittee :D thanks BidgDave 4ur input<<

[algonzo]

Nice post there DPiper... I was hoping somebody would start a new one on this. I will be out there Friday evening with my son, just so that he could meet you guys.. so will TeamGonzo. We waz' hoping somebody would be kind enough to take us out that night and fish all night... as we've never been night fishing before, then go get some breakfast as you mentioned, and head back out in the morning. I'm still working on building enough credit for the whole day Saturday. My wife kinda wanted to plan something for the 18th... which I'm trying to talk her out of. TeamGonzo has got it in the bag. He's got a two day pass, and I've got a one day pass, and working on the two day pass. We'll pay for whatever it takes to get out there that night. Somebody let us know.

[choo choo man]

i'm still waiting on to see when my daughter is coming home don't know nothing right now,the only thing i know is, she is still out at sea.i'm planning to be there saturday for a little while to visit everone

[dpiper]

Algonzo, you and yours are welcome on my boat. Bring your own PFDs. I'm not sure how many I have. My nephew will show ya how its done.

Donald

[dwaynez]

I will try and make it down for the muster if at all possible,

[BIGDAVE]

That's what I like about ol'Ben. He's always spreading the wealth! It's about my time to stepup and host one of these things any way. While christmas shopping Sunday I ran across a 10'x 20' tent with walls and windows. It's the kind you can park a truck in. Now we have something to keep us dry if it rains. Dpiper thanks for the list of names and maps. We can edit it and keep the list updated as we get closer. Did you notice I said "we" thats because you just joined the committee Hee Hee lol. I went to the park this afternoon to refresh my memory. There is plenty of parking, there is one electrical outlet and plenty of room to park the boats. How many of ya'll bringing boats. My last count was Dpiper 's toon, Randy's Catfishboat, Ben's Fishingtx toon and my bass boat. I think that may be enough. But more is welcome. Don Diego havn't heard from you. Zeke, I know your comming. It just wouldn't be the same without that smiling face. Hee Hee. Algonzo bring that propane bottle you offered the other day. Ben can you bring your pit and livebox, I'll load some wood. I will also bring my cabover so the ladies will have a restroom. I plan on being at the park sometime Friday morning. This Muster will be rain or shine cold or hot. More info to come later.

[Dustoff]

If all goes well, I'll be there. I've got to work Friday, but should be able to be there Friday evening and spend the night on the water. I hope to be there at least part of the day Saturday as well. I'll have my pontoon boat. Ben tells me it's not a fishing boat, but if nothing else, we'll turn it into a floating Motel 6. :) If someone will let me know what's still needed, I'll be glad to pitch in and bring stuff. I'll most likely be by myself that night, but I'd like to take my 2.5 yr old daughter out on Saturday on a jug checking run and let her see some big ole catfish.

[Gentleben]

Great guys :shock: , yes my the Fishingtx Pt wil lbe there also porbably my bass boat in case we need more boats :) , I am trying to keep my Pt open for the Williams family (Mark & Cheryl) :? should they show and also there wil lbe the Hilton bros, add them tro the list Jim& Glenn, Cajun cooker said if it ain't cold and rainning heand Carrie will be thre with his tooney, Zeke is headed to Brynum that weekend and apologized for his absences.,Microsoft will be there, as will BigBubba , Don Diego and tWT will probably be catching all the fish .

[medulla762]

I'll probably be chasing wildfowl that weekend but I'll try to stop by and say hey and eat some of your bar-b-que...bwwaaahahaha...


I need to hit my 'ol buddy up for a flounder trip anyways.

[dpiper]

We need a couple more cutting boards, electric knives and extension cords. I'll brings ours. At the last muster there was only one. And there was a lot of fish to filet with only one.

[Dustoff]

I've got one good sized cutting board and two electric knives that I can bring. What else? Food / supplies / etc???

[algonzo]

I'll bring a propane tank... don't have any of the above though. Haven't needed them yet.

[Gentleben]

Thanks for the map Dpiper it is great help!!

[Gentleben]

Thanks for the offer Donnie, I am sure you'll get some folks to ride with you .I want to encourage folks to fish together and learn from them or teach others it's alot more fun to fish with a group than by yourself.

We were having a admin meeting and we decided not to post this on any other website . We do not want this to become a riot. We want it to be a Fishingtx family gathering, if you have friends or family that you want to invite that is perfectly fine, we just don't want to attract the wrong kind of people.

[Thin Water Tracker]

I hear you Medulla I have been yet between Doctor and being sick with this cold for the last month Just can;t shake it. I'm hoping to get out this long change and put a few flats in the box before they are all completely gone. it start the week of this catfish thing but will be hitting the following week.

[BIGDAVE]

Donnie, bring your cutting board, knives, boat motel hee hee and your daughter is more than welcome, so is your wife. Algonzo I hope you get the second day pass. Cause if you don't Teamgonzo is going to rub it in on what you missed.

I want to get somethings up front. No Alcohol is allowed in the park. The fish we catch Friday, Friday nite and Saturday morning will be for the fish fry Saturday. We want to make sure everyone has plenty to eat. We will start cookin around noon. Any fish left over will be divided between those who want it (cleaned or not). All air bladders are to be cut when cleaning the fish. I will have trash cans and bags. The park is to be left in the same condition as when we arrived if not better. We have these fishing trips to learn from one another, meet new members and their families, and enjoy the great outdoors. We do not advertise or sell products at these events for a profit. We do ask you to send donations when you can to the webmaster in order to improve and keep this site operating. Enough said.

Here are somethings we need, but not limited to: Drinking water, sodas, french fries, chips, mustard & mayo, hushpuppies, bread. For the BBQ pit: sausage, chicken, weiners, brisket or what ever you may want cooked. Everyone bring a lawn chair if you want one. Also post what you decide to bring so everyone is on the same page.

The pit will have food on it if not all the time most of the time Friday noon to Saturday noon. We will have two coffee pots running and plenty of coffee. If you get hungry while on the lake it will be your fault. If you have any questions or sugestions my home number is 281-360-8520 my cell is 281-382-9272. More information later.

[dpiper]

I'll be bring stuffed jalopenos, french and garlic breads.

Madulla we need your katz-n-dawgs.

Donald

[medulla762]

dpiper, that just may be doable!

I might be smoking duck sausage that weekend. If I am, I'll toss in some catfish.

If it happens I'll be out Saturday evening. I'll bring some sausage samples as well.

Not making any commitments folks, but I'll try to make it.



TWT, let me know when. I'd love to go chase them flatties with you!

[Thin Water Tracker]

Medulla I'l be hit those falts between the 19th and the 23rd. if all go well. I know it in the week and mot on the weekend. If they are still hitting my next days off will be the 7th to the 9th which is on a weekend. I'll let you know as it gets closer.

[BIGDAVE]

I hope it's Friday dwaynez I'm looking forward to seein you. Whoo-rah
20 new jugs!! saundecw I can't wait to see the lake Saturday morning. Lake Houston is going to look like a rice field full of geese. Ben be sure to tell the warden thanks for the fries. Guys let me tell ya dpipers stuffed jalopenos are great. "IF "you see em you better get one cause they will be gone by the time the pan hits the table. Medulla if you make it with that smoked duck sausage, how bout calling me on my cell before you get there. That way me and TWT can make sure ole gentleben is running jugs so we can eat some. HEE HEE He lol. Looks like this muster is off to a good start keep them post a commin!

Oh how many of ya'll have cast nets? just courious on what we are going to be feeding them jugs. Shad, perch, beef or ???.

[Dustoff]

I've got a cast net. I was fishing by the pier in our neighborhood one night and the cast net was the only thing I caught. :? Need someone to show me how to throw it. Haven't quite got the hang of it yet.

[dpiper]

Bigdave, check this out. Six inch shad catches 27 inch blue. Size doesn't matter.

[BIGDAVE]

Dang, dpiper that cat was hungry! Reminds me of when the house cat ate the kids canery. All you saw was the feathers around his mouth. Heee hee he Were was the fish caught?

[BIGDAVE]

Donnie I ain't the best either. But I'll teach you what I know. Let me see Hmmmm......... Now I remimber! This was a quote from my teacher as he reached down to pick the bait from my net "Dang, Dave that was a sorry cast. But that don't matter as long as you get bait. Hurry up and cast again!"

[Gentleben]

Hehehehheh ,u funny most folks tha tdon't me probabl ycould not tell by lookin at me but"I like to eat" dry weight at 255 lbs wet about 275 lbs
It is gonna be a gas with the World Famous and rekown Randy the Catfishboat Fresina and all of his talents we 'll have a good time and catch some fish doing it!!
Watch them halapenos :lol: :lol: I can suck up the whole pan in short order. hehhehe
I am using deer hearts or liver or range cubes or deer gutts liver chad er perc h or mudcats

[dwaynez]

Those casting nets can be tough, but it's worth learning how to throw it. You can catch lots of bait in a hurry.

[algonzo]

Teamgonzo and I have a casting net. It was also a birthday gift to him... too bad we haven't used it much. I think we caught about two branches with it once... that's about it.

I'll take it also.

[dwaynez]

There is an easy to use casting net out called " The Easy Cast " it comes in a round plastic case and is sold at Wal-Mart. It has an instructional video with it that shows how to use the net. What makes it so easy to use is a metal ring that you flip one end of the net over and throw it like a frisbe or a discus and it will open everytime. It is a great little net that makes casting really easy for anyone but it's especially great if you don't have a lot of experience with a casting net. I think the average around $25 or so.

[algonzo]

BIGDAVE, Gentleben...

I got a question to ask you guys... I've got an uncle of mine who loves fishing. He tries to go Saltwater fishing but unfortunately doesn't have any luck like me and Teamgonzo. He's got a bad case of the "Gonzo-sindrome" I guess it runs in the family. He's also new to fishing and just recently started collecting fishing equipment like myself. He mostly goes fishing by himself off the piers in Galveston and Baytown... but like I said... the only thing he's caught was a cold. I'm going to try and get him hooked on FishingTx to learn a thing or two. He's a machinest by trade like my dear father, but also gets a paycheck from the good Lord... that's right he's also Pastor at a Christian Church in Southeast Houston. I was wondering if I could bring my uncle with me to the muster and show him what a wonderful group of fisherman looks like. Like myself and Teamgonzo, he's also ancious to catch some fish for the first time. I didn't want to just show up with an un-invited guest and nowhere for him to go... so I was wondering if he could hang out with us on Friday night with who ever is going to take us on their pontoon.

So that means that it would be Teamgonzo and son Algonzo and Algonzo Jr., and my uncle. What do you guys think?.... Will we fit somewhere Friday night? I'm thinking about driving my son back home once it gets pretty late to catch some ZzZzZz's because my wife made breakfast reservation with Santa Claus at the Downtown Aquarium for that Saturday morning around 9:00 AM :cry: :cry: :cry: So that means that I won't be there Saturday morning... I'm so dearly hoping that I could talk my wife into going Saturday afternoon with me and my son, after the breakfast to go eat catfish and duck sausage with everybody.... wait a minute that didn't sound too good did it... :lol: Anyways let me know if you guys think my uncle will fit so that I could let hime know ahead of time. I just didn't want to invite him without clearing with the gang first.

Also until what time will you guys by out there on Saturday, and what time will the oil start cracking? Don't want to miss lunch.... :shock:

[Thin Water Tracker]

Well I'm having to work that chicken foot in OT with the weather that they are saying we are going to have next weekend. I'm still fighting this cold it been 15 days and two trip to the doctor. The wife is starting to bark about me being out in the cold and rain. I my just have to sneek away next friday night. Wroking on getting on the down hill side of this cold doing all I can to kick it. The only thing I hate is I 'm going in to the med center on the 16th and going to be seeing the transplant team for my yearly once over. and get the news on all the test I have been going through for the last two months. I know they are going to jump me abotu my blood sugar and blood pressure. Jsut can't stay away from that sweet stuff. I'm happy to be a live but this sure has put a damper on my fishing over the last year. I'm just hoping they are not going to lay down more rule that will knock out more of my outdoors trips.. As it stands I'm still planning to be there Friday evening. If that get washed I be there Sat. Morning and be able to stay till maybe thrree or four.

[BIGDAVE]

Dang, Don I didn't know you was fighting the flu too! Please don't over do it. If you decide not to make it, we will understand. Heck this won't be the last muster. We want you around a long time. Just do the right thing. lol

[BIGDAVE]

Algonzo, Yes your uncle can come. You didn't have to ask. But thanks for asking. My plan is to arrive at the park Friday morning between 8 & 9. Set out jugs, return to the park around noon and set everything up. 4 to 6pm run jugs. Meet everybody, help them launch as they arrive and shuttle people with out boats to the toons. Run jugs around midnight and again at daybreak. Then clean fish and prepare for the fishfry. Start frying at noon. Heck, I am like a tree limb. I'll can bend in whatever direction the wind blows. HeeHee lol

[Thin Water Tracker]

Thanks for the kind words Dave. I’m really having fishing with draw’s. I missed most of the summer saltwater fishing due to the virus in the water the wife made me promise that I would hit the salt till the end of the Oct. when the water cooled down and killed off the virus. Well it’s like I have been fighting one cold off after another. This last one ended up in my chest and just hadn’t been able to shake it. If I only can make it out for a few hours Sat. I hate that I have a 20 ft boat just setting in the drive way and can haul some of the newbes around and show them a jugging good time. If I only show up Sat morning I’ll be sure to Check in and see if there’s something the camp needs before I pull out. I think I have Ben’s cell number on my phone.

[TeamGonzo]

I know Lake Houston has plenty of cats to fish for, but what other types of fish have been caught out there? Basically, I'm wondering if maybe someone can take me and my young'un out for a little crappie or bass fishing while we're out there during the Muster next weekend...or just point us in the right direction on where to go and how to do it. I'm sure Algonzo and Jr would love to hit that up, too.

[cherylrw]

Well unless something happens Mark and I will be there saturday..

[dpiper]

TG, I don't think anybody on this board waste their time on B@$$ (trash fish). GB is a big crappie fisherman. He can can point ya in the right direction oand give ya a few pointers.

Back to B@$$, if you ever fry up some B@$$ and any other fish at the same time and did a taste test you would never bring another b@$$ home.

My opinion, your's might be different. Your taste buds know for sure.

Donald

[Gentleben]

i love crappie and bass, catfish too

[dpiper]

Whites, striped, and hybred are all good table fare. It that big mouth I'm talking about. Although they do put up a good fight and when they dance on the water its heart pounding. I just don't eat the things.

[BIGDAVE]

Haven't fished much for bass lately. Crappie even less. The whites will start their run up the rivers this spring. Me and the monster will be there for sure. He realy loves it. Fish on almost every cast when the water is right. They are small. I am sure you and the boys will love it. We will plan a trip.

TWT my cell # is 281-382-9272 if you can't find Bens. Looking forward to seeing you and meeting your wife if she comes.

[Thin Water Tracker]

Got the number Dave. Myself can wait for the whites to start running in the spring had a ball with them last year.

[BIGDAVE]

Ben & I went down to the park Friday morning and he noticed that there were no boat bumpers. Ben I picked up 18 to 20 tires yesterday will try to put them on today. A big "Thank You" to the guys at Cooper Tire in Huffman for their donation and help loading.

[dwaynez]

Crappie are one of the best tasting fish around. I have eaten bass in the past and to me they have a good flavor.

[TeamGonzo]

That's mainly why I'd like to go out for them...for the experience and the rush. I'd eat the whites, striped, and hybred myself too, but I'd mainly like to go out there for the fun and experience side of catching those big mouths. Thanks for the info dpiper! Just a couple days left til we meet everyone and have some FUN!!!

[dwaynez]

TeamGonzo

I should have that package in the mail tomorrow, lots of goodies for you and Algonzo to go through

[TeamGonzo]

Buddy, that's perfect! Thanks for everything in advance! Just a couple more days ladies and gents!

[algonzo]

Here's my .02 cents on the matter...

As TG mentioned... we would love to go out and do some nice R&R. It's not so much for putting food on the table but for LOVE and SPORT of it. I've never really heard too much of eating nice size Large Mouth Bass... and I really don't care to try it... but the point here is that we want to get our young'nz behind a nice 15 minute battle with a nice fighting bass or crappie. That's the main reason of R&Ring bass and crappie. Now crappie I will eat the heck out of ... but I would love to do some nice Bass CPR's.

[dwaynez]

Algonzo and TeamGonzo

if you are not able to fish for bass and crappie at the muser we will make arrangements to fish the lake by my house, it would be a little drive but there are lots of bass and crappie to be had, It's a privat lake around 45 acres with lots of fish.

The biggest bass to come out of the lake is 10lbs
My biggest is 5.5lbs

Biggest Crappie: 4lbs
My biggest is 3.5lbs

Biggest Catfish ( Flathead ) 97lbs
My biggest: 10lbs

I never really fish for catfish in the lake just for bass and crappie, my catfishing is done on the river or at friends tanks.

[Gentleben]

Dave thanks I as usual was late and BigDave had it all finsihed and was gone by the time I showed up all he left was a bloody trail.
My cell number is 281 451 0559 and my home is 281 324 1074.

Guys do not forget to invite your wifes girl freinds or who ever, this is a family orient muster for all.

[BIGDAVE]

Only sliced my thumb Ben. Those tires are pretty tough to cut with a utility knife. Besides once I get some of that slime on it I'll be as good as new. Ran into Mr. Huey on the pier. He had 8 catfish.

Ben, You got that PT ready! Just three days left.

[Dustoff]

Hey bigdave,

Just curious if you had a feel for what you still needed folks to bring. If you'll post some of the stuff you need, I'll be glad to sign up for some of it.

Thanks and I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone.

Have a great evening

[Gentleben]

As usual i'll have some chicken on the smoker and there will be plenty to eat.
Yes Dave the PT is about finished, I put the gas tank in and it is about ready. all i need is some gas and the warden wants the lights fixed guess she gonna do some night fishing, dang the sniper just called looking fer some pics . Corey is stripping my PT, her and the warden getting it ready. if ya all need any window decals fer the muster email Corey at [email protected] or call her, business # 281 913 0345. she ain't cheap but she's good.$10.00 on the window dexcal with your handle in it
BigDave you gonna have that big tent set up?? I'll bring us an ole bbq pit we can use to burn wood in fer a heater if it be that cold.
I am getting real excited ta just get to meet dewanez and the gonzo team and to see my ole side kick and pointman Randy and Sharon and all the group .

[BIGDAVE]

Donnie, how about bringing some sausage and chips. Don't forget your elect knife and cutting board. Thanks for asking.

[dpiper]

Condiments?
Plates?
forks?
cups?
trash bags?
etrc etc?

[Larry G]

Ben.....Dern shame to muck up that pretty boat with fish do-do. :cry: Where's the pictures of the foul weather cover?

[TeamGonzo]

I'll bring the condiments, plates, forks, cups, & trash bags, but how many people we expecting so I'll know how much of each to bring? I'm also gonna bring some of my mom's famous tamales for ya'll to get a taste of. She usually makes them around the holidays. I've never tasted them off the grill, but I could just imagine the taste! Hmmmmmm, I wonder if her and my wife can make us some catfish tamales? Never had those before. Heck, I may even get my wife to make us some mexican beans (charro beans) to keep us a little warm. I'll see if she can make us her surprise dessert that my family loves so much, too.

[algonzo]

I'll bring a can of jalapenos... napkins, corn to toss in the bbq pit rolled up in foil, and I'll see what else.

Does anybody make some sort of secret recipe salsa. That would be great and would help to keep the blood pumping in that cold weather with some chips or with the meal.

[Thin Water Tracker]

Look liek Friday night will be clear and cold. Maybe I'll shwo up with the boat friday night if the Boss is in agreement.

[nthony]

Hi everyone. I am pretty sure I'll show up Friday night after work. I just moved down here from Wisconsin a month ago and I want to get back into fishing (haven't fished in probably 7 or 8 yrs). I bought some new poles and new tackle and I am looking forward to trying them out. Is there anything I can bring? I don't want to feel like a moocher.

[Bgbluecat]

I have a 24" diameter BBQ pit mounted on a trailer (2'x2' firebox) and has one of them cajun fish blasters mounted on the tongue.

Do you want to use it Ben? Give me a call at the house.

Might also have some venison/feral hog sausage left from last season also. It went over pretty well at the Nov 03 gathering. Later/ml

[dpiper]

What is a caju fish blaster?

[Gentleben]

HAHAHAAHA, funny you asked about that enclosure it is in a pile of pvc besides my pt.

[Bgbluecat]

dpiper: cajun fish blaster be a nickname for one of those propane stoves that you set a pot of grease (or turkey frying pot) upon.

btw Ben, that 2' firebox has a flat top that doubles as a super hamburger grill. Will need some wood for it - there's some laying around the yard under my trees and I will try to make time to cut some of it up. However, with it getting dark so early I may be pressed to come up with wood.

[BIGDAVE]

Hmmm......dpiper I'd say it was a fish fryer or a very large loud horn so you know when it's time to eat if you are out on the lake. HeeHee lol. Bgbluecat bring that pit, sausage and venison. I got plenty of wood to feed it. My guess we will have between 30 to 40 people.

I went through the post. This is what we have so far.
Randy: coffee, cups, potatoes, stinkbait, PT.
Ben: chicken, f fries, table & chairs, bbq pit, PT.
Dpiper: stuffed jalopenos, french & garlic breads, PT.
Algonzo: propane bottle, 2 tables, napkins, jalopenos, corn on cob.
Teamgonzo: plates, forks, cups, trashbags, tamales, beans.
Donnie: 2 electric knives, cutting board, sausage, chips, PT.
Saundecw: Gatoraid, propane bottle, 20 new jugs.
Bgbluecat: bbq pit, venison, sausage.

[BIGDAVE]

nthony, all fishingtx members and families are welcome. So bring yourself on out! We would all like to meet you. Just look at the list above and bring what you think we need. Lookin forward to meeting you.

[dpiper]

Algonzo, I'll try and get the misses to cook up her super secret salsa while she's stuffing the jalopinos. She actually roast the tomatoes, jalapenos, and garlic. Its great.

[Gentleben]

Wheres' Maulwalker?? He brought some great home made salsa to the Cagle Muster was great !!
I'll bring some tartar sauce yres gotta have spome tartar sauce, Bigger pit more chicken

[algonzo]

I'll bring some extra tartar sauce... cuz I like fish with my tartar sauce. 50% tartar sauce and 50% fish on my plate. Don't forget to stock up early on beef heart because the H-E-B down the road doesn't carry much stock of it, and knowing Gentleben or somebody else will finish it all up and then you will have to settle for chicken liver because shad are sort of scarce this time of year. We'll need some more aluminum foil so bring some spare aluminum foil if you have any laying around the house... and last but not least... TEAM GONZO IS BRING HIS NEW SET OF HORSE SHOES TO HAVE A LITTLE PLAY TIME THAT AFTERNOON, and we could all build up on bragging rights. So is this one going to be bigger than the Cagle Muster? What was the head-count there?

[don diego]

Ben, Dave,

I'll be off Thursday and Friday. I plan to start fishing Thursday, weather permitting. If you can put your fish box out, I'll start filling it up. If anybody else is off Thursday and/or Friday and wants to join me, give me a holler. Oh yeah, I'll bring a couple bags of deer sausage and hot dog buns on Saturday.

[dpiper]

Hey DD you talk too much, but I'm glad to hear you'll be there. Mam-oh-man this is going to be a great muster.

Donald

[dwaynez]

Dpiper I agree this is going to be fun.

[Thin Water Tracker]

Well it looks like I’ll not going to be able to make it Friday night. Woke up last night about midnight head full of **** and couldn’t breathe by the time I left for work at 0400 by the noon to day the everything was draining into my chest. Boy I know I had a harder time shaking the flu than the normal Joe but 24 hours after ending the running out of meds seems fast. When the boss called letting me know what it my appointment was she told me I need to scrub getting out on the water till I shake this thing completely. I sure hope is isn’t another four weeks. So I guess I’ll see you guy some time Sat. morning. Dave I’ll give that check in call before I leave the house. Also I want to see that there was some of that that Medulla type fishing going on when I get there and pull up that live drum,

[dwaynez]

Sorry to hear you are still under the weather, take it easy and get over that stuff.

[Thin Water Tracker]

It ******* up my thanksgiving I hope is doesn't do the same with Christmas. But I will see you Sat.

[dpiper]

Hey TWT, why don't ya just leave it at home? That's what I do. You feel better.

Take care of yourself. Its important.

[dpiper]

[Thin Water Tracker]

Can't wait to see the numbers you all rack up. Going to be a good weekend.

[dpiper]

BigDave I took off tomorrow too. I need to get that trailor hitch mounted so that I can pull my boat to the lake. I also bought a 18 x 24 tarp and my two nephews and I are going to make it an enclosure on the boat. The misses bought me a coleman heater to keep me warm. Hope its big enough. I used it Tuesday week ago and it would warm your hands and legs. Anyway I will be getting there tomorrow evening sometime and I hope to see and the moster with big grinms on.

[dwaynez]

Just had a family situation come up that has to be taken care of, so unless something changes I will not be able to make it until early saturday morning. I am hoping that I will be able to get this taken care of and make it down there tonight.

[algonzo]

DWAYNEZ,

Family first. Take care of your family matters and goodluck. Hope all is well, and I hope to see your out there.

[dwaynez]

I should be able to make it saturday morning, had all my stuff packed and then something came up early this morning that has to be addressed right after work, Sorry I won't be there unless I can take care of this stuff quickly. I am sure I will miss some good times on the water, but there will be plenty more in the future, I look forward to meeting everyone on saturday morning.

[cherylrw]

OK SOMEONE TELL ME IF I HAVE THIS RIGHT?

45 South to FM1960 turn right go down to D.Q( East Lake Houston) turn left,then left on Corydon,left on Sunnyglen..

Am I lost already LOL

[algonzo]

cheryl...

I think you have it wrong. From Seagoville you will be heading 45 South comming into Houston, exit 1960, and you will be making a LEFT not a right going East bound on 1960. You will pass half a million lights go over 59 and then pass another half a million lights until you cross over Lake Houston, and then turn Left at DQ then you got it from there. So it's a LEFT not a RIGHT on 1960. You need to head East not West.

Try Mapquest.com to be sure though.

[cherylrw]

LOL...BOY thats a lot of lights LOL.....Alrighty then I wrote it down your way lets see if we make it in the morning...

[dpiper]
