The Gathering
« on: Oct 17, 2018, 06:08 PM »
Hello Gentlemen

I am sure you all have been anxiously waiting for this announcement.  The 2018 annual "Gathering".

For those who are unfamiliar with this event, it is open to everyone.  It is an opportunity to put a face to the username.  It is a both an introduction and a reunion.  It is a chance to discuss face to face our favorite outdoor pastime with others who are equally demented, I mean dedicated. It is a chance to eat way too much good food and lie about the fish you caught. 

What:            2018  annual :The Gathering"
When:           Sunday, December 9th, 12:00 Noon
Where:          Moraine State Park, North Shore, McDanels Landing Pavilion

I will bring a generator and macaroni salad

Best wishes, big fishes

I think it is time to make that auger "Nuclear".  Doc Brown did it with a Delorean in "Back to the Future"

sounds like fun - personally, I'll still be up at camp - helping a buddy close up for the year, and hopefully butchering deer from the last gun season trip.

Hey Jaggerhunter

"If I'm driving that far I would be catching 50+ steelhead in Erie."

I can not believe you would not be willing to drive 3 1/2 hours for the honor and privilege of meeting "Slider".  The man is an American institution.  Dave Gentz calls him for advice.  Plus he brings meatballs in grape jelly.
