[Warden]

If it is not raining that Friday, I have set aside a mental holiday and will be absent from work. ( it used to be called the "blue flu"), now it is called
"pylodictus olivaris" fever, it is extremly contagious and sudden attacks occur with out notice.
Symtoms: sudden urges to go shopping at Academy
weakness when walking down the tackle isle
anxiety when the alarm clock goes off Monday thru Friday
Blurred vision from countless hours of reruns on OLN
other symtoms may include but are not limited to: depression while at work, dry mouth from bragging, red marks from getting slapped by co-workers tired of hear about your tales, in extreme cases long periods of halucinations may occur (THAT BIG ONE THAT GOT AWAY)

OK, I have room in the camper for two more bodies or one big one,
Deep fyer
butane bottles/full
chairs
two small tables
Coffe pot
agazillion life jackets
A smoker pit if needed
also an electric smoker
ice chests

Let Me Know what is needed.

[Warden]

ok i can tell that thecatfishboat and fish-n-friends has the life jackets covered, might need some help with the rest

[Warden]

can anyone tell me the best way to get to BJ"s from Hillsboro by the way the boys just bought some more poles I think there ready and I"ve been trying to make some jugs I found the foam at the dollar store.

[Warden]

will you be coming down 45 or 59?

[Gentleben]

Jeff go to magquest .com amd put your destination as BJ's Marina 27907 Calvins Rd , Huffman TX 77336 and they will bring you in via Waco and then thru Brian College Sta to hiway 2920 will take a left on 2920 hiway and come down to hiway 59 at Spring tx, take a right and come down to fm 1960@ Humble take a left on Fm 1960 and come 11 miles across the Lake bridge to the 2nd traffic light (FM2100)take a left and go down past 3 traffic lights , last traffic light is Havard rd don't turm there go to next major intersection, will be Huffman Cleveland Rd on left and Wolf Rd on right, you will need to turn left

[Warden]

I wouldn't go all the way down to 2920. Too many redlights.

I would turn off in Navasota on 105 and take that to I-45, then head south on 45 to Beltway 8 and go around to 59. Take 59 N. to 1960 and head East.

But that is just me.

WHO ORDERED THE SNOW FOR THIS WEEKEND!!! RAIN AND FREEZE'N IT MAY AS WELL BE SNOW :silly: I guess I'll have to break out the goose hunting clothes :cry: 8) :lol:

[medulla762]

The weather liars have been WRONG the past two weekends...5 to 10 mph winds my @$$...!!!

Maybe they will be wrong this weekend and the sun will show but I'm not going to count on it.

[Thin Water Tracker]

Looks like we’ll be working on those Cats in the rain. I’ll have to dig out the rain gear. Should the flowing water help the cat fishing? They showed in the paper that they cut the flow back at t the dam’ to 0.50 I bet it didn’t stay there long.

For the last few year I have taken much stock in what the weather me have to say when it comes to rain. I get my beetle out and see what she doing.

Let see she got socks on and running a round the out side edge of the match box. Wait she has her sunglass out but not on so we could see the sun peek out some time in the next three days. I would say it going to be cold but just a little wet this weekend.

Hay she can be that far off. The way these weather men have been calling it lately I think their beetles are sick or something.

[waterspout]

The best weather info is the

Indian weather rock
1) If it's wet ,it's raining!
2) If its throwing a shadow, it's sunny out!
3) If it's cold, it's cold out!
4) If it's real hot, It's hot out!
5) If it's white,it's snowing out!
6) If it's not throwing a shadow and not wet, it's just cloudy!
7) If it has ice on it, it's sleeting out!
and finally,8If it's going round and round in circle, You better hide fast,Tornado is here!

[Warden]

watching the reports, some say ran, some say partly cloudy and some say sunny, I say, come on out and lets fish.
Mudcat and Myself will be leaving the dock about 0900 to set the first set of jugs out,
Medulla, i will be there at daylight to help with the grill and stuff.
My deckahnd will be at the marina to help evryone as they arrive. His name is Brian,

[Warden]

sorry everyone but the boss has spoken and she said its going to be to cold for the kids she did say I could attend the next one let me know how it goes

[Gentleben]

Another one bites the dirt , ah Jeff we gonna miss you but you right it gonna be cold , that 's why we are ready to ........this is not for evryone but it is for anyone , we'll catch you on the next one maybe April will have more suitable , human weather :lol: :D :D :shock: BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[cherylrw]

Ben if you see this I wont be coming til tomorrow and thats if there is NO snow LOL..Tara is getting over a respitory infection so I wont be staying all night just want to make an appearance and bring the bumper stickers and stuff.

[Nine Lives]

Stopped by to meet some of the guys today. If anyone else that is going to BJ's this weekend, some scrap plywood or boards to walk on would come in handy. Also, bring several extra pair of dry socks, you'll be glad you did. Several fish already caught by 3pm Friday. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures on the board, when we get back into town on Monday.

Have fun

[Gentleben]

Fish are on!! Cheryl i see your post and hey don't worry if you can't make it is miserabel. You can mail the stickers if you want, don't take the baby out in this mess we will have others!!
