[cool][#0000ff]Wow, what a turnout and what a great get together. I won't even try to remember all the names of the BFTers who joined us, either on the water, on the bank or at the food fest. I also apologize that I did not get pics of everybody. I was busy.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There were a few early birds but most of the gang showed up around 7 and we were launched and fishing by 8. Some were in larger boats, some in smaller boats, kayaks, tubes or toons. Still others fished from the point of the boat channel jetty. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Most caught fish. Some more than others. TubeBabe was top rod, with 7 channel cats and 1 mudder for the 3 hours we fished. I scratched out 5 channels and 3 mudders. TubeBabe had a couple of 5 pound females, along with some smaller ones. I had a couple around 3 pounds, but the others were only about 1.5 to 2 pounds. Just right for the table.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]8incher and PACKFAN both headed out in their boats for other parts of the lake and both returned with several nice cats for the fillet session. I kept the old portable electric fillet knife humming for awhile. Lots of nice bullheads from assorted members too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Thanks to everyone who brought goodies to the party. We reserved the pavillion at Lincoln Beach and we had lots of salads and dessert items to eat along with the kitty krispies. A special thanks to CarpPunisher and Mrs. CP for the great dutch oven taters they whupped up for us. Really topped off the meal.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]It was great to meet some new BFTers and the weather was great. I started my anti-W dance over a month ago and it really seemed to work. Hardly a ripple on the water all morning.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Everybody pretty much disappeared after the eats so we did not get in the evening fishing. I think all the rowdies got wore out.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Here are a few pics I took. Any attendees who want to post their own private results, pics and observations, have at it.[/#0000ff]
