Traveler2586 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I'll be there; I should have my boat back by then, Wednesday I hit a submerged shoal and tore off my skeg and part of the gear housing on my lower unit and banged up my prop. Quote
DelfiBoyz_One_and_Only Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 If it keeps raining like this we can launch from my house near Manassas! Â Jay 2 Quote
Super User Teal Posted July 20, 2013 Super User Posted July 20, 2013 Aight guys... we have little over a month to go!! We probably need to take a roll call of who is still going Quote
beergogglin Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Thinking about this, but man this seems like a lot of people. I'm more of a secluded fisherman if you know what I mean. I have a 12' jon boat with a 6HP engine that may or may not be working, but I did just buy a brand new battery for the trolling motor. Quote
quanjig Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Anybody hear from Nitro or Zoff? Been awfully quiet from those two!! Quote
Zoff Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Still planning on it. Been real busy lately. Mother-in-Law has been seriously ill and was touch and go for a while. Remodeling Wife's salon after I get off work and building a new shed. During all this... I have to fish. Quote
PoorBoyBassin Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I would imagine its a long shot for there to be room for another none boater, but I would love to fish if anyone has room. and if not Im still going to make it there to meet everyone. Im new to the board an will be nice to actualy put a friendly face to all these poeple we talk to. I'd bring my two man bassin buddy, but I dont believe it would be any good on a river, two batterys wouldnt last very long. Anyway. Looking forward to meeting everyone. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted July 29, 2013 Super User Posted July 29, 2013 I'm good for a day, just not sure which one yet. Â Still rollin' electric only. Quote
DelfiBoyz_One_and_Only Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 We should find the most local area that rents boats on the river, this will help some of the non boaters get out on the water. Â Jay- 1 Quote

Â Jay- Pohick itself rents jon boats. Â I recommend using your own TM and battery if you have them, otherwise, those are available also. Quote
PoorBoyBassin Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 We should find the most local area that rents boats on the river, this will help some of the non boaters get out on the water.  Jay-  Excellent idea!  Pohick itself rents jon boats.  I recommend using your own TM and battery if you have them, otherwise, those are available also.  Pokick would be? as Im not from that area...Im assuming the local marina on the river?  Let me open up another tab.. Google! here i come lolol Quote
PoorBoyBassin Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I think I found it?  http://www.nvrpa.org/park/pohick_bay  I dunno if thats the right place or not  and for the record Im still pumped up about it!!!!! Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted August 8, 2013 Super User Posted August 8, 2013 It seems as though interest has faded? Â I need to know because gas ain't cheap on a two hour, one way ride.... Quote
Super User Teal Posted August 8, 2013 Super User Posted August 8, 2013 Not llooking good for me, although i was guarnteed the day off on that friday, i think the workload i have is going to dictate. Ive been having my guys work late on Fridays and pull Saturdays too because i am about a month and half behind from where we should be right now. Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted August 8, 2013 Super User Posted August 8, 2013 I am out.....some things have come up and i will nto be able to make it as much as i would have liked to. But since i am in a kayak it's not like i would be sharign my boat with anyone anyways Quote
Traveler2586 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I'll be there if I get my boat back in time. It's in the shop for a new lower unit and TM; then on to the next shop for hull repairs.  I just called the first shop and after two weeks all they have done is look at the engine and TM, and come up with a parts list.  The guy I spoke with said he would get the estimate to the insurance company by the end of the day. Quote
Zoff Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Maybe, maybe not for me. Mother in law passed away and my Wife was Exec of the Estate. She is not good at these things. If we cannot tie up loose ends by Wednesday... I will not be able to make it. MIL did not have Life insurance and it has screwed me as I had to pay for everything. Quote
PoorBoyBassin Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 MY regards to everyone having RL issues. Seems as though this has been one of those years for most of us one thing or another... some serious.. some not so serious as others. Im still going.. and hope to see ya;ll there. Â Best wishes to everyone not able to make it. Â Tight Lines All!!! Â PoorBoy Quote
quanjig Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I tried texting him yesterday, haven't gotten a response from him, hope he's ok. Quote
Zoff Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Last I spoke with him... he's gotten into the Wounded Warrior Project. This has consumed most, if not all, of his free time. I know he planned on driving up for the day but not sure now. Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted August 12, 2013 Super User Posted August 12, 2013 Well, sounds to me like this isn't happening. Â Guess I'm fishing around home that weekend. Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 It's all dependent on the weather for me on Friday with a launch from Ft. Belvoir. Saturday may not be possible - a family event came up with my sister-in-law that may require my attendance. Quote
Super User Nitrofreak Posted August 13, 2013 Author Super User Posted August 13, 2013 Sorry for the delay guys, as Zoff stated, I have been really busy.  It seems every time I sat down to look at the site, something else would come up, I have been busy looking for boaters to match our non boaters as well, now it seems we are going to be well outside of the available space for all and I am truly having a really tough time finding boaters to match up and participate, I have been looking even outside of this site and no one seems to have any available time to join in.  How many boaters and non boaters are still interested in doing this?  I can not make it both days as I had hoped but I will be there on the 24th, I am not sure if my wife will be joining me or not, so I may or may not have an open seat, I will try to have a definate answer to that question by weeks end,  if anyone is still interested, even if it's just to meet some new faces and see some others I have not seen in a while I would still be game for that too, you guys help decide what we want to try and accomplish if anything.  Again, my sincerest apologies for not posting !

Traveler2586 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Count me out as a boater; if I know the time everyone is coming off the water I may drive over just to say HI.  I talked with the insurance Co. today, they got the estimate from the MARE Inc. and we're going with them. So I called Mare to tell them and the serviceman said OK he'll order the parts. I asked about the TM and he hasn't even looked at it yet !?! This is going to be a slow process indeed.  Tight Lines everyone.
