2014 Fishing TN Gathering startup discussion SPEED BUMP 02/12/14 PLEASE READ MY LAST

[Reel Tune]

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
Now that it’s 2014 its time to start planning the FishingTN gatherings. I would definitely like to have a Spring/early summer, and a late summer/early fall.
YEAH, YOU READ THAT RIGHT, TWO GATHERINGS.
If you haven't read yet, jdkxtreme was generous enough to donate his pull behind smoker, and buccaneer was the lucky guy who got it. Now we’re going to be able to cook for a lot of people.
Once we pin down some dates, then we'll start planning the logistics side.
Here’s how it will go 1st Set a Date, 2nd Set a Location, 3rd Headcount, 4th Volunteers for food, beverage, and other needed items. As you can see this is a timely planning process so please join in as soon as you can and don’t drag your feet.
I would also like to know everyone's thoughts on the venue it was held last year. (The good, the bad, the ugly)
Good Spring/Early Summer dates for me as follows
March 22nd&23rd, April 19th&20th, May 3rd&4th, May 10th&11th, June 14th&15th

The best Late Summer Early Fall for me are:
October 4th&5th, October 18th & 19th, October 25th& 26th

I would like to keep this on a Saturday if at all possible because I'm sure everyone will need some forgiveness for all the lies that are told.
Once we pin down a date, then we will coordinate location, food, beverages, and games. These will be family friendly events, and we encourage you to bring your family as we are all family here. We’ll try to watch our language, but you know what happens when fishermen get together.
Once we pin down a spring date, and location then I’ll create a new thread with all the detailed information, and I’ll do the same with a fall date.
Let the discussion begin…….

[Jdkxtreme]

All the dates except the March ones work for me.

[Alphahawk]

I'll be there....God willing.

[jad2t]

It's possible that I'll be out of town due to work for the March and April dates. If not I'll do my best to make it. Work got in the way of two of these things for me so far, let's hope I can get to at least one this year!

[agelesssone]

Hmmmmm, is SAMBOLIE coming?

[jad2t]

[Travis C.]

I have been on vacation the during the other gatherings. With the oldest one in school now, I doubt we'd go on vacation during school year so all but June would be a better option for me.

[blink]

i should be able to make any of those dates.

[rsimms]

Responding to the staff e-mail asking me to weigh-in. I can't commit... but I can say for sure that all the March, April and May dates are out for me. The guiding business is hopping then. In fact I have most of those dates already booked.

There is a major BASS event on the June 14 weekend I might need to cover. But that will be optional and I might make a gathering then, depending upon location.

The last two October dates I will likely be in South Dakota. The first Oct. date might work for me.

[MNfisher]

The April and June dates don't work for me, the rest should be fine. Hope it works for me!

[jaysouth]

I am good for any of those dates. I will bring a couple of dozen brats cooked in a genuine Milwaukee beer for finishing on the grill. Let me know if you need anything else.

Better have sour kraut to go with them!:)

[TNBronzeback]

I wasnt able to come last year but i will certainly be there this year. im good with any of the dates!

[tacklemake]

You pick the dates I will be there............woody

[blink]

Also, i will bring something from my smoker, maybe ribs.
And some oat sodas if its allowed.

[MNfisher]

And some oat sodas if its allowed.

Depending on where it is, we might need plastic cups...but it will be allowed!

[SAMBOLIE]

Both of you can get some of those little blue pills from the spammer and do you know what to yourselves. :D:D

TK has asked me to hold a fishing seminar for those in attendance.

[tcintn]

Since retirement,I find that I now get no days off.The honey-do list are very long.However,she just gave me the approval to attend any day you plan on having as long as I get rid of some of the T M items laying around the house.
Look forward to being there.
Ed

[agelesssone]

This is a note to all FishingTN members....if you have ever wanted to know HOW NOT TO CATCH FISH, make plans to be on hand for SAMBOLIE'S fishless seminar he plans to give at the "gathering".

I guarantee if you do the exact reverse of what he says, you'll catch fish.

And......TK musta taken down the spammer with the little blue pills before I had a chance to get any. Would you send me a couple Sambolie? What you suggested sounds kinda interesting, maybe like you have prior experience!

[goreds.king]

It's hard for me to commit not knowing my kids baseball/softball schedule (starts in March and ends in July). If we do it two days then I would be able to make most of it. Set a date and I'll figure out how to be there.

[tkwalker]

Barley/hops and oat sodas are allowed as long as you are discrete ... and everyone indulges responsibly ... Also as you all know this is a Family orientated site and Gathering ... Like Jeremy has previously mentioned there will be families present ... So Please everyone watch their Language ... Spread the word ;) thanks <'TK>< :)

[Still_learning]

I would like to attend if my schedule works out. Would like to meet you guys.

[Reel Tune]

These will be one day events 11a-6p or so. I'm wanting to know if there is a preference of a Sunday, or Saturday. I'm leaning toward Saturday, and we need a venue. So if anyone has ideas on a venue please speak up.

[StriperFan]

I will make it as long as the date doesn't have any conflicting appointments.

[Tightlines]

Any Saturday should work for me. I'll gladly help in any way and will bring soda, ice and crappie/white bass filets.

[olddognewtrick]

Saturday is the best day for me, and the May dates are the only I see that could be an issue (though I haven't seen a tournament schedule for the kentucky SMACK people yet).

[MNfisher]

How about Shelby Park? Plenty of big shelters, boat launch right there and even a lake to fish.

Chip Gardner is not going to do the SMACK tournaments this year. He's concentrating on fishing more. I've found once you start running tournaments you start fishing less.

Ah. I thought he had only changed the name. I don't blame him. I give Chip, you and Geoff and others all respect for the time and effort put in to providing the rest of us with a good time.

[Hammy]

Im going to do my best to make the event. At this moment the only bad day is 1st Sat. in May. Sat. are best for me. Sundays are out.

Hammy

[GO-OKFISHIN]

What about 7 Points? I made the first one for about an hour then had to go to work. I am going to try and take off for this one but being in Real Estate that can be difficult. Very good fishing there.

[Transplanted Sportsman]

Either date should be fine for me!, I can bring whatever I can buy, I cannot commit to bring any fish that I caught until I get into Alpha's fish catching clinic, or have a seminar from TX native, hey Mike I will also bring some red solo cups!!

[thehick176]

Count me in +3. I will keep track of the thread to see what I need to bring

[Reel Tune]

SAMBOLIE had a great idea of a gear swap. So if you have any gear you would like to bring to sale, or trade go for it.

[jad2t]

But from what I hear all of SAMBOLIE's gear is cursed with never being able to catch a fish. Buyers beware!! :D

[jad2t]

Is this fishermen only or are wives and a very friendly golden retriever/yellow lab mix allowed to join the party?

[MNfisher]

Haha!! Good stuff!

[TNBronzeback]

does a dog in the boat count towards another limit? if so i will consider swapping something for the dog! LOL

[Reel Tune]

I'm fine with wife's, kids, and friendly animals as long as the location is, and everyone else is ok with animals.

If you guys are going to do wife, kid, and animal swaps you can coordinate that on your own time:D

[Heiny57]

I will attend if I am in town for the date. I travel for work and that is to far out to know for sure.

[jaysouth]

jad2T ... Are you asking can you swap and wife and family pet off for fishing Gear ??? ... Well .. Why not !! :eek: <'TK>< LOL !!! :)

I've tried it twice. I lost both ways TWICE! Just won't work.

[tacklemake]

What happen to when and where to hold the gathering? It was great at sanders ferry park Why not do it again for one of the two gatherings ............woody

[Fishaholic]

I agree with Woody especially if we get the big pavillion next to the boat ramp which has plenty of space a giant grill there already plenty of parking for boats and a playground

[agelesssone]

I'm taking the Snorkster and the daughter out on the boat so I can bring in three limits?

I'm leavin the wife on shore for you guys to deal with. Could be talked into a trade, so tell me what you got. But the dog and girl aren't available for the tradin!

LOL, I just read this post to Susi and she loves it, especially "no bobbers for my pole!"

She didn't seem to be too keen on bein traded for fishing tackle. Says I've got enough to outfit a bait shop.

[Reel Tune]

Alright guys the date is set for Saturday May 3rd, and it seems like Sanders Ferry Park is a good central location.

It was brought to my attention that we could get a shelter at Shelby Park for free from one of our gracious members here, but it didn't seem as if there was much interest in Shelby Park.

Shelter (8) the large one by the water holds 250 people and the cost to me will be $200.00 for the day. This is the one everyone is talking about, it would be a little overkill to the group we had last year around 35-40???.
I don't know if its available or not. If everyone wants me to get it I will try.

Doesn't matter to me but you should not have to pay for that shelter from your pocket. That costs needs to be spread out to those of us who attend and each one pay our share.

I'd like to see you and SAMBOLIE simultaneously put on a fishing seminar.

[Reel Tune]

If we can find a resident of Hendersonville to reserve it, it will be $150. I do not know any residents of Hendersonville personally or well enough to give money to and rely on them to reserve the right shelter. If we can agree upon shelter 8, and if we want to do that I'll front the money to a respected person if we can find one.

Contact either gboyce or tacklemake. They are both Hendersonville residents, both retired and both are humongously wealthy!

I'm sure either would be willing and able to reserve it for us.

[SAMBOLIE]

Being an old timer we used to snatch suckers in the streams. If Merv will assist me by playing the part of the fish I will demonstrate how to properly do this (no real hooks of course). I am sure others are willing to be the fish, however agelessone is better qualified as he is the perfect sucker.

I will not under any circumstances assist Merv with the rigging of his bobbers or pole.

[tkwalker]

Jeremy, you know my feelings on this ... H-ville sounds good with me but I really don't care ... I'll be there no matter where it is ... Also any short comings on the $$ I'll cover that also ...

You and Sarah do a heck of a job ... <'TK>< :)

PS Pookie I still want some wood .... :D

[Reel Tune]

Hey guys the #8 (large shelter) is already booked for both Saturday and Sunday May 3rd & 4th by another group. The only shelters that are open are 1&2.
There is a fishing tournament out of this park from Thursday May 1st until Saturday May 3rd, and the large shelter is rented out Sunday May 4th to another group.

I was advised that there will be many vehicles with boats on trailers and a lot of boat traffic at the docks.

Shelters 3-8 are already reserved for this fishing tournament, the two that are available 1&2 are the farthest away from the water.

Do we want to follow through with Saturday May 3rd and go with Shelter 1 or 2, or change the date????

I will need responses soon

[Alphahawk]

Sounds like might want to change the date. Sounds like it's going to be lots of folks around on the 3rd.

I'm good with Shelby, lets hear what everyone else thinks. It was so hard deciding a date with everything that everyone has going on. I've got 30 tournaments on my calendar to try to hit.

[SAMBOLIE]

Shelby if fine.
Merv and I might play golf there after the outing.

[MNfisher]

Keep me updated so I can reserve it.

[agelesssone]

SAMBOLIE, playing golf with me is about as much fun as fishing with you! Neither one is very productive. I am a self professed world's worst golfer!

[agelesssone]

Let's stay away from Saunders Ferry park altogether when they have tournaments. There will be trucks and trailers parked way out into the grassy areas. I'd rather see it held either later or in a different park.

[tacklemake]

We can have it at lock 3 ramp on old hickory lake and the kids can go swimming there and fish too. The little park has nice bathrooms but only one table and it's out in the open and it's free. We just need to bring some tables and chairs and it's right next to the water and their is shade trees..............woody

[SAMBOLIE]

SAMBOLIE, playing golf with me is about as much fun as fishing with you! Neither one is very productive. I am a self professed world's worst golfer!

I can't fish and be a deck hand at the same time. Too bad you are not a good golfer cause you fishing skill ain't so good either. Two strikes already. I bet you can't play baseball either. Strike 3. :):)

Alright guys it's going to be at Shelby Park. Saturday May 3rd

There is a ramp for anyone who would like to fish the Cumberland river before or afterward. Golf course so Merv and Sambolie so they can swing their sticks together. Pond for anyone who would like to walk around dunking worms. A disc golf course for the Frisbee throwers.

Jeremy ...what memories ...Shelby Park ... In 1954 when I was 8 years old my Dad use to take me sledding on the Hills on the Golf Coarse ... It wasn't to far from our house ... We would travel Riverside Drive to McGavock PK. We lived 4 house's from the river right before you boarded the old Ferry to Donaldson ... The ferry was the Judge Hickman... I lived on the river as a kid ...

Question ..I can get there but if you or Mike could give me an address that I can plug in to my GPS it sure would help ... The only way I would know to come is via Inglewood down Riverside ... And I know the Nashville route would be better ... I haven't been to Shelby Park since 1972 ... When I moved back to Tennessee ... Thanks ... <'TK><

PS ... I had a Great Aunt and Uncle who use to live in an old stone house on the right when you first entered the park from the Nashville side .. ... They were born in the late 1800's ... My Dad told me he would ride a bus for a nickel to Shelby to swim in the pool in the summer ... He was born in 1920 ... Is there still a swimming pool ... I know The duck pond is still there I fished out of it in the 50's with my Dad ... ;)

Current laws prohibit guns in parks. No need to fear since the thugs likely abide by this law and also would not take guns there.

Seriously though, East Nashville definitely still has its bad areas, but it has improved drastically. It is probably if not the safest, one of the safest parks in east Nashville. I have spent 2 days a week there for the last 2 years. Never felt threatened once.

Lets get a list started of who's coming and who's bring what.

I'll be outta town until next Tuesday. Sarah and I have a tournament in South Carolina.

Jeremy

[MNfisher]

I will be there, can bring whatever

[tkwalker]

Jeremy, Like Mike What ever is needed but for sure I'm bring Charcoal and lighter .. What ever we fall short on let me know .... <'TK>< :)

[jaysouth]

I will bring two dozen brats, buns and mustard. Brats will be properly cooked in Pabst Blue Ribbon at home. We can heat them on the grill and serve up Milwaukee style.

Can you still buy Miller High Life?

[tkwalker]

Okay Folks .... Jeremy needs input to get the gathering organized .. Please post what your bringing and who is going to attend ASAP ... This would be very helpful ... Organizing this is not an easy chore !! <'TK>< :)

[blink]

i will be coming and bringing some craft brews, and whatever else you need.

[TNBronzeback]

im not gonna miss it this year.
I can bring whatever needs to be brought.
food, drinks, utensils.

Has there been a running list put together yet of what other people are bringing so we can kinda work backwords from that?

[XxthejuicexX]

I am going to miss this one. I will be on Guntersville that week.

[jallen67]

I'll mark it on my calendar to attend and can bring anything but fish. Haven't quite got the hang of catching enough to show off...

Jallen ... Need more definition ... Everybody says they want to help and can bring anything ... Well We need to know what is coming .... If you want to bring burgers , buns and chips ...great now we can plan what is needed and what is not ...

But not picking on you and hope you get my point ... We need a list of what everyone is comfortable to bring ... For example , Fish, cooking oil, Burgers chips, cold drinks, cups and ice, Condiments, Hot dogs and buns , and not for everyone who is attending, just the amount that you want to bring and fill comfortable with ...

Now I know from past Experience ... Susi makes a mean German Potato Salad (She is from Germany ;)) and a lot of custom baked beans and deserts are in the cabinets and recipe books of a lot members wives kitchens ... So a answer to what ever we need ... You don't want to here well we need 40, 1 1/2 inch Angus fillets ... Get my point ... What are you comfortable to bring ...

Just tell us what you are bringing and Jeremy will post of what is coming and that way we can fill in the blanks ... This gives us a approx. people showing up (members, wives and kids) ...

We have always had a great time meeting everyone face to face .... And we have never ran out of Food !! <'TK>< :)

I can bring 12 hamburgers, buns for the 12 burgers, some cheese, and a 12 pack of Sun-Drop. I might have the wife whip up a good desert too. Doubt she will come but yall don't want to miss out on her baking skills!

Remember, we have no grill at the shelter. We must bring our own.

I'll bring five pounds of fresh (meaning not cooked) crappie filets, breading for the filets, a couple venison backstraps, which will need to be grilled, and a big bowl of macaroni salad.

Susi will make a dessert, probably apple crisp or a pie, something like that. And of course we'll bring Sophia and if there are no objections, da Snorkster!

If I remember right, your bride brought German potato salad last year. It was a hit. (hint...hint)

I'm sure she'll do it again. She's pretty proud of her Deutsch Kartollfensalat!
