It's been a few years since we had our last get together and it's time to talk about doing it again. I've been to them at Rose Valley, Montour Preserve, Sayers and Walker Lake. If anyone lives close to another fun lake to fish with ample parking and would like to head it up, let me know. If anyone would be interested in reviving our old get together, speak up. I know it was always something that I looked forward too, and was usually a real highlight in the season for everyone. I think we could do it at Walker again, simply because the last one was there and we ended up open water fishing instead of ice fishing. If we get some positive responses to having it, I will start making the arrangements. I really hope to hear from all of you!!!

I would try to make it.

I would be in for that. still consider myself a rookie for sure. To learn from a seasoned group would be great!

I was thinking about heading out that way this year to Hunters lake or Rose valley. Don't know where the other lakes are, but if they're not far from Hughesville, I might be interested(if the date works for me). I have a buddy that lives in Hughesville, so I would probably stay at his place overnight.

Where are these lakes located, I never heard of them before.

Hi George
Been a long time since we had one of those, if we had it at Sayers like the past, I would come, haven't seen a lot of people in a while. not to mention you haven't seen you in years.

I was thinking the same after seeing "The Gathering" post in western PA. I have a foggy memory of attending a get together a few years back on the Paupack. I'm definitely interested in doing this again.

I would attend if it was at sayers. Even a bad day there is still pretty good.

capt.crappie · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 15, 2016, 07:53 AM »

I would love to attend one of these. But most of the lakes mentioned. Are like 5 hours away in good weather.

geothefisher · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 15, 2016, 10:16 AM »

Happy to see some responses!!! Seems like everyone likes Sayers. I'll get in touch of some guys from out that way and see what we can do.

JPascavage52 · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 15, 2016, 10:52 AM »

Sayers gets my vote.

RuttNutt · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 15, 2016, 11:57 AM »

I just googled Sayers and found it. Little bit further than I had planned to drive, but if the weather is good and the date works for me, I just might make it. Looks like my buddy in Hughesville is a little over an hr away, so might stay overnight at his place.

Keep us posted. Thanks.

NEZ · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 16, 2016, 06:52 AM »

I would be interested in this. Sayers is a decent lake and can catch fish, but the crappies are tough to get the legal ones so they changed the rules on the lake this year. You can only keep 10 crappies and of the 10, only 5 can be above 9 inches. Nez

deer george · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 16, 2016, 07:32 AM »

I'll try to be there depending on the date, Sayers is one of my go to lakes that I like to take the grand kids, you can usually catch fish there and that's what keeps them interested.......

geothefisher · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 16, 2016, 11:17 PM »

We will have to plan it for a weekend when there is no Panfish League tournament. As soon as I get their schedule, we will pick a date.

rlusk3030 · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 20, 2016, 01:41 PM »

True, and I don't think the tournaments draw that big of a crowd, anyway.

geothefisher · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 25, 2016, 11:00 PM »

OK. I talked to Greg and he said that they are only doing two NEPL Tournaments this year. The one at Rose Valley and the Spud Memorial. Both events are in February. How does January 21, 2017 sound for a get together on the cut at Sayers sound? I will need to know by Dec. 30th so I can request off work. Hopefully this date will be good for most of you. Those who are planning on attending please post ASAP, and if you are willing to bring a food item to share. I will of course be bringing a large pot of chili, and my propane stove to keep it hot all day.

tokyo · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 26, 2016, 04:16 AM »

Jan 21 works for me, I'll have to double check with the war department to make sure nothing else is going on here. I would say I'm 85% in.

Newberry Kid 218 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 26, 2016, 04:17 AM »

I work every other weekend but if I'm off ill be there. Id bring the wine but the flash flood in October wiped out my whole basement and destroyed all my vino !

skipper4080 · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 26, 2016, 12:39 PM »

Jan 21 works George

tokyo · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 26, 2016, 09:14 PM »

Officially got the green light, I'll be there. I'll definitely bring something to eat, I'll continue to monitor and fill a need, whether it be a desert, side, or entrée. Might make this an overnighter considering the drive (3-ish hours). Leaving the option open to share the cost of a room if I end up flying solo.

NEZ · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 26, 2016, 10:56 PM »

I should be able to make it, Will bring something that is needed. Will need to identify a place and time. Nez

JPascavage52 · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 28, 2016, 09:32 AM »

Sounds like a good plan. Whose up for scalloped potatoes with bacon cheese and chives?
