Absolutely perfect weather and great fellowship with all kinds of CFF'ers. emoGrouphug </p>

It was great to meet some new folks, old folks, regulars, and even that guy that smells like skip-jack.emoPoke </p>

I learned a much better method of throwing a cast net, and also learned that the palomar knot beats the doody out of all others with the awesome jig that Puddle jumper made for the event. </p>

Missed seeing some that couldn't make it or had better things to do than eat my hot dogs....emoBigsmile </p>

It is clear we need to do this more often as we didn't get to some of the things we had planned on because everyone was having such a great time of fellowship, and maybe some fish stories about the big one!emoLaugh Sounds like we better start planning now....</p>

Hey Spur,,
Had a great time at the Meet and Greet got to meet and talk to some folks that I havent been able to catch up with before, and to see some old faces again, was a great time and I thank you for all the hard work.. there is a wealth of knoledge among the CCF members and they are great enough to share it freely and openly,, thank to all,, also added a few folks to the already long list of guys I would like to get together with for a day on the water..
Puddle..

PS: For those of you who havent see it the Team Fatboy Dinners are what tonight is about, getting together and feeding ourselves and sharing fishing stories "lies" and just hanging out with some great guys.., ill get one schedualed soon,,"you dont have to be a member just show up..its informal fun and food "
 
As some of those little catfish do occasionally... I just had to do a "drive by." But it was nice putting flesh and bone to a few more screen names.

SpurHunter... you're a good man no matter what Fat Albert says about you! emoThumbsup emoBigsmile

I sure am sorry I missed the cast net lesson. I suspect I need it worse than anybody. And I'm sure Knot Wars was very interesting... but I've still got faith in my Improved Clinch! emoGeezer
 
<font color="#6600ff" size="3">Hot dang, I sure had a good time with all our friends last night...wished I could have stayed longer to see the knot tying thingie.....I have a good knot that me and the madbomber tie all the time.....Hot Dogs were really good,,,,I know cause I ate 3 of um....thanks Spur for the get together......and as most of you all know I recieved a very very special gift from PuddleJumper....sure was good seeing all the old folks and many of the newbies....need to do it more often.......FAemoGrouphug </font>

Richard, the improved clinch knot won't hold a light to the palomar, it was proven many times over last night. I have always used the improved clinch untill I saw the demonstration, I guess I will have to change over.</p>
 
It was a great time to get together and talk fishing! rsimms, you wouldn't have as much confidence in the Improved Clinch if you had been there for the knot wars. No matter who tied it, the improved clinch lost every time I think. I changed from it in the past, maybe it's time for you to get a better knot too.
 
Spur did a great job yesterday. As always, i had a blast getting to meet new faces and talk with the old ones. BTW, I guess theres gonna be a "fillet war" next time! hehe

PuddleJumper, you did good with FA's gift and the knot test contraption was awesome! Thanks for doing those things.

Looking forward to the next one...this time with hamburgers and tatersalad!
 
Hey guys look like you had a great time sorry i did'nt get to make it. We had a club tx that blasted off a 7 out of there .You probably heard us >I was in the real loud boat that ran down towards the nuke.I hace a quick question did anyone go over to the boat ramp there were 8 or 9 good size bass laying on the bank and floating around the dock dead that is a shame .

<font face="comic sans ms,sand">Too all who have argued with me over the past few years on the strength of the Palomar...HA! I told you soemoTongue !!!</font></p>

<font face="Comic Sans MS">Wished I could have been there...maybe next time.</font></p>
 
Once again all the fellow CFFers proved to me its worth the $75 in gas to drive up that way to pay a visit. Thanks for setting it up Spur, I had a great time, and ate 5 hot dogs. I liked the extra crispy ones.
 
Awesome time with some really great people. It's so easy to feel at a great deal of ease with all of you. Thanks for everything Spur. And glad that you and your daughter had so much fun serving us all. It was greatly appreciated!!!! And all of you should know that Brice showed that even people from Alabama can throw a net!!!!
 
i REALLY hated that i missed yet another event. i had made plans to show up but my garage door had other plans emoBang emoBang emoBang and i have to much stuff in there to leave in unsecured emoEnforce

hopefully the stars,moon,planets ect will line up right and i can make the next one
 
it looks like i missed a great time. we had two people call in sick at work so i had to work over till 8:30 and could not make it. i was looking forward to meeting some of you guys. maybe i can make the next one.
 
Really enjoyed the M & G, emoThumbsup Getting to put faces with the screen names was great so now I know who is posting, emoSmile
Everyone involved did a super job, emoThumbsup and all the demo's were helpful and they will make a better fisherman out of me. Now if I can just remember all this stuff and put it to work it will make me a better fisherman, emoBigsmile
Already lookin' forward to the next one, emoToast
