Thanks everyone, I'm not sure we are going to have the kind of drawings that we have in the past, so let's keep expectations low, but we do have a few prizes we'll have in the drawing, and anyone else that has some items they don't mind kicking into the drawing for prizes, it would be appreciated... Weather forecast is looking like it might be the first day of a really nice streak, so hopefully it will be a great fishing day... Should be great for visiting and being able to renew some friendships after a long covid winter... Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, and Brett or Craig, whoever was counting at 25 ish, I'd expect that to double... There are lots of folks that don't like to commit in case something comes up , but I expect they will show up, and that is fine, especially this year, where we are planning on our own food and Rocky so generously rented the facility for us all to enjoy... By the way, I know he doesn't like the fuss, but please tell him thanks, he has really made a lot of the BFT functions happen from his generous financial support...
If anyone would like to come and would like to join someone in a boat, can you make a post here and we will try and get you into a boat.. I know I have 3 in mine so far, but I expect there are others that will have room for more to join them.. In fact if you have extra space and wouldn't mind company, please let us know and then we can line you up if others would like to try the floating portion of the trip...
Just a reminder the flotilla is this coming Saturday at Willard Bay North Marina and the lunch gathering will be at 12:00 (remember to bring your own lunch this year) at the Eagle Beach Pavilion.... Pretty sure if you want to drop by there earlier there will be folks around to visit with and likely hang around into the afternoon.. Okay I have the old timers thing going on so please help remind everyone of the other details I have forgotten.... (One note you will be responsible for state park access, so bring your pass or pay your fee as you enter.)
Years past we have taken radios to contact other BFT members on the water, What channel do we want to broadcast on? These are usually the FRS band radios or walky talky's.... Fun to hear where fish are being caught so we encourage sharing lures or locations if you care to...
More later I'm sure... Hope to see you there... Jeff
