From the phone conversations and what I see here the majority so far are saying the weekend of July 15-18 will work best.
Are we all right in making that the date the one for all to make their plans?

MJ can you sticky this thread?

Any input on the dates guys?

Well, I am good for the Second option. The other I have commitments, might be able to squeeze out a few hours for the earlier date. If Oz can get up here I will give him the keys and gps so he can take reelapeelin out.

omg!!...:beer:

The canal isn't always bad...last night, incoming tide. GPS clocked me at 12mph in neutral....

Well not to many chiming in yet on the first weekend listed, lets get some input from others, so far I know the date is good for me, Lumber, Capt. Pete, MJ, Chumbucket, Lee, Rob Wilson, a couple of others I have forgotten I am sure.

I've never been able to figure out how ppl could go thru the canal when there was a tide running without sinking their boats... Saw more than one boat almost swamp when they hit the waterfall effect of the outgoing tide hitting the slack water. It looks to be a several foot drop. I love fishing the canal at slack tide though... drift a bloodworm on a hook with no tackle.... almost like fly fishing..... (stripers just love drifting worms)...it's fun walking the bank watching the boats fight their way in and out through the canal. Haven't been there in a long while....think I'm gonna have to put it on the "must visit" list soon. :head:

Destroyer <-------seems to be on the forgotten list...<sigh> :sad:

Been waiting for you to chime in my friend, you getting your arse down there or what?

Planning on it Will... not totally sure until I see what date comes up. Either weekend looks good right now.... Since I missed last years (God, is it that long ago already?) and couldn't go to the southern get together I figure I'd better make this one or ppl will begin to doubt I really exist. :head:

WOW... I just realized... 04/13/10 was when I made my first post here... It's just over a year since I joined... :sun:
