This might be the appropriate venue for my introduction to Livingston. What is the date/location/etc?

Tentatively, I will plan to attend/participate.

Somebody PM "lets fish" and tell him about this (I just stumbled into this info).

Bgbluecat this muster will be hosted by Mr & Mrs. choo choo man. It will be at Wolf Creek Park March 11, 12, 13th on Lake Livingston. The park just opened yesterday for this year. He will have his trailer on site 33 and I reserved site 32. More info this weekend.

[dpiper]

Lets Fish is planning on attending. He will coming over from Penwaugh (sp). Wolfcreek park is already booked. I made reservation at San Jasinto Inn in Coldsprings. Their Phone number is 936.653.3008. Their rates are 41.99/night.

[dwaynez]

Everyone have a blast at the Muster,

[JonW]

Where's the next closest campground? We just need to pitch a tent.

[dpiper]

JonW I'll call them in the morning. I was told that Cajun Cooker tried to make a reservation and was told they were full. But the more I thought about it Cajun Cooker uses a camper. So maybe their tent sites are not all full. Anyway I'll call them in the morning.

[dpiper]

Z: Holiday Shores Marina
From Coldspring take Texas 156 north. Turn right on Hwy 224. Go 7 miles and turn right on Old Hwy 224, look for the marina sign.
One-lane ramp accommodates all boat types
No fee required
Open every day in summer; Friday through Sunday only in winter
Privately operated (936) 377-2696

The above site has camping. To see its location go to Livingston Info (http://www.fishingtx.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2197)

[trombone13]

Don, The boat ramp at Indian Creek Marina is silted in..I think you would be much better to use the public ramp at Holiday Shores. Another public ramp is at Point Blank (Old 190) but this is about 5 mi. N of Wolfe Creek & no camping.

[JonW]

Thank you, dpiper.

Hopefully my boat will be fixed and running. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that draining the gas tank and changing the fuel pump will get it going. Won't know 'til Monday at best.

[dpiper]

Wolfcreek is fully booked including tent sites. I recommend San Jacinto Inn or Holiday Shores Marina. See numbers from above.

[dpiper]

I don't want to get anybody's hopes up but the weather for next weekend is looking ideal.

[choo choo man]

sorry to hear the park is full up,i have gone when it was booked up and got in on account of cancellations.so thats something to check on,call everday to see if they have any.

[BIGDAVE]

Rode the scooter this morning to Wolf Creek to check things out. Yep, it was a bit on the chilly side. Met Lisa, she runs the park store. Extremly nice and makes a good cup of coffee. Talked with a few guys R & R fishing off the bulkhead. They were picking up a few cats in the three to four pound range. Two of them were brothers, they had made theirselves each a rod holder out of used 1 x 4s that held 4 long rods. I became intrigued when they showed me how they were hinged so you could lay it flat when traveling. Realy neat set up. Think I'll bring my long rods next weekend.

I also talked with the attendents. Each site with a travel camper is allowed one tent and ten people camping on the site. It will cost $4 dollars per car and $2 day / $1 nite. Camp fires are allowed. I will be bringing the 10' x 20' tent and the big gas heater. Anyone that wants to sleep in it is welcome. The rest rooms/showers are very clean. (see first picture).

[dpiper]

JonW I spoke with choo choo man and he recommended you p[itch you tent on his spot. The more the marrier.

Thanks Dave. Where are the pics of the rod hoolders?

[BIGDAVE]

Dang, I just got off the phone with Ben. He asked me the same question. Ok....I am still trying to to keep up with the amount of pictures Ben takes. I just don't think about having the camera with me. But I am working on it.

Hey, choo choo man what do you need us to bring to the muster? Also when are you leaving to go to Wolf Creek? I plan on going shopping tomorrow.

[JonW]

OK, if he's got room for me, my wife, and our baby. As long as I've got my boat fixed, I'll be there. I took vacation from work this weekend.

[BIGDAVE]

JonW, Get her done and come on. What's wrong with it?

[Gentleben]

Git r done!!! he said jonw!!
BigDave it is "mind over matter", if you "don't mind, then it don't matter" bwahhahahhahah

[JonW]

Hopefully just a fuel pump. I'll know for sure on Monday. If so, I'm switching over to a regular pump and will mix my oil and gas. I'd feel a little safer that way, and it will save me well over $200.

[choo choo man]

hey BIGDAVE,you better look out because i've hung up a few cats on that hook.lol.i'll be out to get old big daddy.

[choo choo man]

My cell # is 281-382-9272 if you have problems.

[choo choo man]

ok, anyone coming up friday night sylvia will have spaghetti dinner

[JonW]

Bigdave
I'm on my way to work on it now. Things weren't looking too good last night, but it looks like my buddy will have all day to work on it. He thinks the carbs may need to be cleaned out really good.
Boy, that would be nice!

I'm optomistic at this time!

Thanks for the directions. That should be the way to go for us, right?

[choo choo man]

well i started a week of vacation yesterday so i could get stuff ready to go
to the lake,if no one are on my site i'm taking my trailer up there tomorrow stay tomorrow night,come home thurs get my boat go back up there then i'll be there untill sunday.after noon tomorrow i'll be on my cell phone

[JonW]

One of the carbs was in VERY bad shape and is soaking overnight. The new fuel pump is on and the other carb is rebuilt. I'll have to wait until Friday morning to finish, but I'm meeting him at 5am to put it all back together and take it to the river and make sure it's good.

Assuming no problems, I'll be up there as soon as I can physically get my boat home, throw mama and the baby in the truck, and drive there.

:D

[Gentleben]

Sylvias' Spaghetti dinner???!!! mna hoiw did i miss that dang

[dpiper]

Yea that's right. The wife and son are going to make an appearance. I don't know if it is because they heard GB wasn't going to be there or if my wife is just checking up on me.

[Gentleben]

If anyone needs some boat bumpers i wll go back by and see if wally world has any left, the yhad a bunch odf the small ones and very few of the large ones

[dpiper]

Ben, if they still have four big-uns I'll take em.

[BIGDAVE]

Piper I know we gonna have catch fish to eat if your wife and son are comming. I have seen what they catch. I will be up there as soon as I can Friday morning.

JonW, directions to Wolf Creek from Crosby. North on 59 to Cleveland, exit on Hwy 2025, turn left. Go 18 miles to dead end at Hwy150. Turn right, go 1.6 miles to Hwy 156. (There is a Peoples Bank on the left. Hwy 156 is the first road past it). Go 1 mile to Hwy 224, turn right. ( there will be a Wolf Creek sign just before Hwy 224. Wolf creek is 5 miles on the right. I picked up the FishingTx Banner from Ben tonight. Look for it on the main road that goes through the park. I have a Lance cabover on a red Ford. Tell the attendent you are with Frank and Sylvia on site 33.

Mikechell, Levi (my son ) said you can borrow his sleeping bag. I also have a blowup mattress. I'll bring it. Since Ben can't make it you will have to supply your own pillow. HEHEHE LOL

[dpiper]

Hey BigDave when I read "sleeping bag...have a blowup..." you had my mine heading to left field. Then "matress" brought me home.

Mike
We have ya covered. Looking forward to seeing ya again.

[Gentleben]

A blowup tire only works on little cars Piper, LOL

[JonW]

Thanks, BIGDAVE. I like taking the backroads to Cleveland anyway.

[dwaynez]
