I’m in. Bringing the panga and Matt Blyth will be fishing with me.
NO FISHING OUTSIDE THE JETTIES…………….. UNLESS I GET TO COME! Glad to see your going to make it. Cant wait to see the Panga! KT will be in town and he can give you some good data on your boat as he has been using his now for two years! Are you coming in early to pre-fish?
That’s TBD but I’d definitely like to do so. If past club outings are any indication the conditions will always be better the day before or the day after the event. 😉
So I just booked my room at the Lighthouse- I went ahead and booked check-in for Thursday and checking out on Sunday. That way if I fish Friday I’m covered.
If you haven’t made your reservations at the Lighthouse Inn, please do so by April 20th, as the rooms reserved for us will be released to the general public!!

I’m signed up and paid up!
Glad you signed up George. Is it true you are fishing with J. W. Dickle and Dick Trickle? Jeese the last time you were on the water the brown stain your boat left when you pulled the drain plugs in the parking lot smelled like an early morning sunrise in Bourbon County Kentucky! Jus Say’n!
Hey all you other fishers be aware Ill be pack’n! No running any of MY SHORELINES -OR- I WILL KEEELYOU!

I,m in… signed up and paid up!
Dan – Looking forward to seeing that pretty new panga out on the water!
Golden – my drain plugs only pi$$ excellence. And fine small batch bourbon. Which is also pretty excellent.
Hey Dave – Will be great to see you out on the salt! I’m a little nervous with my casting instructor watching my double-haul… Bring some of your delicious craft beer with you but leave the 7x tippet at home!
Hey thats a great idea some craft beer Dave! You should be up for that.
I might be able to pull that off.
Going down early to pre fish. Friday for sure, Thursday is doable if others are going to be there.
Forecast for rodeo Saturday is sun, light wind, hungry fish & cold beer.
Scott F
I will be down early, Friday for sure, maybe Thursday.
Looks like we may have to do another “NOT THE REDFISH RODEO OUTING” Friday.
Anybody up for a small calcutta to raise donations for the appropriate liquid sacrament(s)…..
I am in…….A little Knob Creek pick me up after a day on the water sounds sweet.
Sounds great, but why small? Bigger is better.
Okay folks,
Boats are finalized for the most part.
If you haven’t paid, you need to either contact me to make arraignments or visit the PayPal link.
Current boats are filled up unless another boat owner signs up or brings his down. We do have a few people talking about bringing their kayaks.
Who all is gonna be fishing on Friday?
If anybody wants to join me on the panga, let me know.
I’ll be down Friday around 8-9 AM and on the water for a couple of hours.
Fingers crossed the weather will clear up.
Saturday is calling for 30% chance of rain. The RR is still on unless there is lightning.
