FishingTN Summer Gathering 2013

[Reel Tune]

On Saturday June 29th we will have the Fishing TN Gathering, at Sanders Ferry Park, shelter #6 in Hendersonville starting at 10/10:30am, and lasting until everyone is sick and tired of everyone else's lies, errr uh I mean fishing stories.

This is just going to be a get together of like-minded people who have the same interests of fishing, fellowship, and fishy stories, even if you don’t fish and would like to meet some people and ask questions come on out, but sorry for the disappointment guys no tournament this year. The only requirement is just to be a member of the Fishing TN family, you don’t even have to contribute, just have a registered username, children, and partners of members need not apply. You don’t even have to agree with members who think drum are a game fish, or don’t believe in catch and release.
I need volunteers for food, drinks, and food preparation. This will be an all-day event from around 1100am-whenever. If you would like to bring games like horse shoes, corn hole, or washers feel free to, but neither FishingTN, nor any of its affiliates will be responsible for any injuries you may incur, so please stretch properly. This will be a family friendly gathering and all of the Fishing TN community is welcome no matter your age, race, gender, or fishing style.
Still needing an attendance list.
An attendance list will be the second post of this thread, and will be updated with who is bringing what. If you would like to bring something post it up, I don’t expect everyone to bring enough of one thing to supply 30 people unless you are bringing cups, paper plates, plastic ware, or something that is fairly inexpensive like that, I don’t expect anyone to bring 30 Prime Ribs though it would be nice.
Date June 29th
Location Sanders Ferry Park Shelter #6
Attendee/What you are bringing
Items that may need to be brought (Fish, Burgers, Buns, Hamburger patties, Bratwurst, hot dogs, mustard, ketchup, relish, cheese, ice, fryer, oil, batter, seasonings, grill utensils, charcoal, lighter fluid, paper plates, plastic ware, plastic cups, napkins, deserts (cookies, cakes, pies, brownies), sodas, water, gatorade, sweet tea, chips
The list above is not set in stone, just some ideas. You can be creative if you have something special you would like to share feel free to bring it. If you just want to attend and not contribute that’s ok, but it is encouraged to contribute if you can.

Sounds like a good option. I'm not a resident so shelter rental would be $55 for the day, it's $40 for resident.

Reservations need to be made as soon as possible, if it will be held here.

Jeremy

[tkwalker]

Merv, Has volunteered his Wife ... Susi .... :D

[jad2t]

I'm in. I'll have my fishing kayak within a few weeks and can't wait to meet some fellow 'yakers.

I'll contribute something, just let me know what's needed. Also, sign me up for some of those crappie fillets please :D

[StriperFan]

I will try and make it and can help as needed. Is there a solid date for the event yet?

[Reel Tune]

Thanks guys and gals.

No date has been set but I did delete July 6th due to Holiday weekend and many may be traveling so it's between June 29th and July 13th

No location has been set, but Sanders Ferry Park was suggested, but I'm not a resident.

Jeremy

[agelesssone]

Contact gboyce, he is a Hendersonville resident.

[Reel Tune]

Origional post updated and date set June 29th.
Looking for a location, if you want to assist in helping with a location that would be grateful. A recommendation of Sanders Ferry Park in Hendersonville was made. If there is interest in this please assist in making reservations, but before making reservations please contact me, or lets get a yea, or nay from others. This needs to be a resident of the area.

Jeremy

[MNfisher]

I can make that. I don't care about location. I will take photos and bring something. I can bring condiments and something else.

[Tightlines]

Looking forward to the gathering. Willing to help any way I can.

[MNfisher]

What about the park where ya'll had the Paddlefest? Plenty of parking and picnic area......

You just want to fish the dam before the gathering! Need a partner? Haha

[gboyce]

Let me know the Date and if Saunderville Park is where you want to do this for sure and I can look into it since I am a Hendersonville resident

[Reel Tune]

PM sent to gboyce. If Saundersville Park is all booked up for that day then I'll try for the park at the Old Hickory Dam on the lake side. I hope to have something secured by Monday.

Jeremy

[StriperFan]

Bump for updates.

[Reel Tune]

Still needing Volunteers (food, beverages, etc.)

We have Shelter #6 for the entire day at Sanders Ferry Park in Hendersonville.

Can a Moderator pin this as a sticky, atleast until this is over, so it can get as much exposure as possible?

Jeremy

Jeremy, this will be stuck until further notice .... <'TK><:)

[Reel Tune]

I called the office earlier and reserved a spot but payment has to be made by 5pm today in person. Doesn't look like I'll make it. Stuck in traffic. If I don't make it today then after we get back from vacation I'll do it. I'm still trying .

[Greasy Ham]

I'm coming. I'll bring a bunch of cookies again. It was a good time last year.

[Reel Tune]

Made it with 13 minutes to spare. We have the pavilion reserved. Needing more people to RSVP, and offer to bring items.

[Alphahawk]

I Will be there. Let me know what you need. If there is fish fry still have the 100 crappie filets.



Regards

[Travis C.]

Sounds like it will be fun times guys. I will be casting into the surf then on Orange Beach.

I fish out that park a lot and by mid-summer for you boat guys that are bringing it may be beneficial to call the Hendersonville Parks asking them the clean the courtesy docks. Some summers they tend to "forget" leaving the docks covered end to end in goose crap. I know that is minimal to the gathering but at least it may save a carpet cleaning.

If anyone wants to know some close by places to fish for yaks from there just give me a shout. Be for warned that you may have company if others ask as well but I don't mind.

[Reel Tune]

I'm not going to task anyone with bringing anything, at least not at this point. Just pick something from the list and put your name down and I'll update the list. Heck you don't even have to choose from the list just put your name down with what you would like to bring and I'll put you down.

Thanks for the help everyone.

[Reel Tune]

Head count is up to fourteen. Everyone check over the list to make sure your name is on there, or if it's on there and not supposed to be please let me know so I can remove it.

If you plan on bringing something please post up. I think we have plenty of fish volunteers, but sides, snacks, beverages, ice, buns, other meats, condiments, and plastic ware is still needed.

Thanks, Jeremy

Hi all,

Put me down for being there with two gallons of peanut oil, the fish fry must go on. Or could get vegetable(soy) oil if anybody may be allergic to peanuts.

[tacklemake]

[Fishaholic]

I will definitely be there and I live next door in waters edge so anything forgotten can probably be found at the house. I will bring my fryer oil batter and accessories including fish. I do have one request my daughter will be there and she has a severe peanut allergy. Can we forgoe the peanut oil please, I don't want to make a trip to the ER. Thanks:)

[jaycee]

I plan on attending.

[Greasy Ham]

9 days. If you don't post on here a lot, have never posted, or you post all the time, I recommend you go to this. Information is freely shared. Fishing partners are found. Good food is bountiful. Lies are told.

[jad2t]

Fellas I apologize to have to back out the week of the gathering but I won't be able to make it. I was really looking forward to putting faces with the names I commonly talk to and haven't met yet but maybe next time! I hope you all have a blast.

Thank you for the heads up. Sorry to hear that Jimmy, I was looking forward to meeting you. Maybe nextime.

[Headhunter]

If I am not already there, I will be on my way to Rainy Lake in Ontario.

[Saltwaterwalt]

Is shelter #6 near the water? Is it feasible to come by boat and anchor to shore?

Thought I was out of town, but looks like I might make it. I live by Shutes landing so its a heck of a lot easier to get there by water than driving around the whole lake! :)

[jaysouth]

What do you need at this point?

Thanks

[Reel Tune]

Enjoy your trip, and I hope you get your personal best smallmouth.

Shelter #6 is on the water, it's on the very southwest side of the park with water access, no dock though, but I have a Stick-It Pin if you want me to bring it.

What do you need at this point?

Thanks

Nothing is required if you don't want to, but anything would be appreciated.
We had a person back out that was bringing plates/cups/plastic forks, spoons, and knives. If you want to look over the list and pick somemthing that you would like to have, but don't see you are welcome to do that.

Thank You,

Jeremy

[master_cat]

[jaysouth]

Is anybody bringing paper stick on nametags?

I will bring a bundle of these and a couple of sharpies so folks can make nametags for themselves.

Jay

[Trealtree]

Of course, happy early birthday.

Jeremy

[Fishaholic]

I also picked up 6 half gallons of turkey hill te/lemonade type drinks and just got a new tank for the fish fryer along with an easy breader for the fish I plan on fishing beforehand so hopefully ill have some frsh fish to add, including catfish especially if someone can show me an easy way to clean them lol

[Jmmiller33]

I would like to come, however I work 10-530ish on saturdays. Will anyone still be around after 6?

[Reel Tune]

I don't know how long people will hang around. I'll pm you my number and if you want to call before coming over you can do that.

Jeremy

[tacklemake]

I pick up cups , plates, plastic forks knives and spoons, table covers for the 4 tables there and paper towels. My wife made a bowl of potato salad , deviled eggs and shrimp salad. I will bring my camera and take pictures and if someone is coming by boat be careful there is about 18" of water with rocks every where and trees.....................woody p.s. I will be the bearded old fart in the western hat.

[jaysouth]

I will bring, but leave in my car for backup as needed, plates, cups, plastic forks, mustard, hot sauce and salt and pepper. I will also bring an unopened propane fish cooker if a back up is needed.

I will bring stick on name-tags and sharpies to the shelter with a package of brats and buns.

[StriperFan]

I'll be there with wife Michelle and daughter Brianna with the 2 gallons vegetable oil, right around 10:30. Can also pick up anything else that is still lacking.

[Alphahawk]

For those who want to try the SOS 2# test line if you bring a reel you can spool it up for free. I have a 20,000 yard spool and there will also be several filler spools given away as well as other Trout Magnet tackle. There will be something for all fishingtn.com members. Some of the products we will have to draw names for. I had requested tackle for a smaller number of people than I think is going to show up....my bad.


Regards

[Jim]

See you all tomorrow, I will bring a range of chips and dip. Best I can tell from the list it looks like those are not already accounted for.

Jim

I will bring an extra reel for some 2lb test. That sounds like a great deal!

[agelesssone]

I'm bringing a 125 qt cooler loaded with Cokes, Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Mountain Dew, Vitamin water, (2 flavors), Gatorade. Maybe some other drinks, don't remember. They are all iced down so they'll be well chilled tomorrow.
Also bringing a peach cobbler and 5 lbs. of German potato salad. And a wife and a daughter and the infamous Snorkster!

[Reel Tune]

Guys just want to say I'm proud of how everyone has handled themselves, and all the participation we are getting. This is running so smooth, and just want to thank all the sponsors who are donating, people who are bringing items to share, to TK for such a great dramma free forum. I'm proud to be a part of this fine group.

We have 31 people saying they are attending, Im very impressed.

Thank you everyone,

Jeremy

[Greasy Ham]

If you have lawn chairs please bring them. I will cut the first person who trys to commandeer mine. :) I put a smiley there but I'm serious.

I would like to go ahead and thank Agelessone and his wife for bringing the potato salad again. Last year that was a big hit.

Last year I believe the only thing forgotten was a spatula. I have one. I also have some trash bags to bring along with whatever cookies I get at the grocery store on the way.

I plan to come a little bit early and fish. If anyone ever wanted to try out a kayak mine will be there. If you want to try it out just ask. If you don't ask, again with the cuttin'.

[MNfisher]

Sounds like a lot of cuttin goin on Greasy! :D

[jaycee]

Family thing came up. Cannot make it and I am not happy. Oh well...

[agelesssone]

Me and the wife up at 6 AM, making potato salad and a fresh peach cobbler. Drinks have been on ice since 6PM yesterday so they will be ice cold. And Greasy, I'll wear shorts so when I try out your yak and roll it, I'll dry off quicker!
