basser89 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 For those who haven't followed the MD Who's who thread closely, there was interest of doing a get together for the MD anglers. So I figured I'd start another thread to keep track of any interest on doing a get together, where and when. I was given a suggestion for doing this in September (won't even attempt to have it Labor Day weekend) and holding it at Black Hills. Obviously, I'm open to suggestions on dates and locations and we'll try to accommodate the majority of the anglers. So let's start with seeing who's interested. Please post if you are interested, what date(s) would work from you, whether you have a boat and any input on a location to hold the get together. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted August 2, 2011 Super User Posted August 2, 2011 I am in, I have a tourney on Black Hills on Sept 10th, I vote for the weekend of the 17-18. Black Hills would work at as a venue but the fishing is very tough at that time of the year. I don't have a boat. Quote
KenLattimore Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 I'm definitely interested in a get together. I'll follow up with some dates once I speak with the boss...lol! I don't have a boat either. Quote
wv Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 My son and I would be interested. Black Hills on the 18th would be fine or any other location for that matter. No boat. Sundays are best for us due to working Saturdays. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted August 13, 2011 Super User Posted August 13, 2011 I am in and will have an open spot on my boat. Black Hills isn't tougher than any other time of the year in September. Allen Quote
slaynbass365 Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I'd be in for this. Am only about 10 minutes away so either/any day works for me. No boat but wouldnt turn down an offer to be a rider in someone elses Quote
basser89 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 Hey Peter, I'm assuming you'll have your boat? If so, looks like that would be boat #2 so far. Looks like September 18th is fitting most people's schedule. Unfortunately, that weekend as a whole won't work for me (have a family commitment I can't break). If that works for the majority, then I say let's keep that date. Anyone else interested, please feel free to add to the thread! Everyone is more than welcome! Quote
dcfdpipeman Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Sean... what works for you.. I think it wouldn't be the same.. So shoot some dates Quote
Fat Boy Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I'd like to join y'all too, so count me in. I don't have a boat, but my buddy has a crawdad, so he may want to come too. The only problem day for me is 9/24. It's National Hunting and Fishing Day, and the Rockville IWL has it's open house that day to celebrate, and I'm working there that day. Quote

Any Sunday is good for me. If it is into October is even OK with me. Saturdays would be tricky. Quote
basser89 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 Ok, I checked things out and the next free weekend I have would be the first weekend in October (the 2nd is a sunday which sounds like that would work best from what I'm seeing). I wish I could do an earlier date than that but I have my daughter every other weekend. The next open date for me would be the 16th. Does either of these dates work for everyone? If so, I'm in and will have my boat and a open spot as well. Quote
KenLattimore Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 I should be okay for this date. Just need to check if my wife is working. Quote
basser89 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Posted August 18, 2011 Got word today that Hellbenderman is interested in the get together as well. Hopefully, he can pop on to confirm. If you are able to confirm, let us know if you'll be bringing a boat and if you have any available seats. Quote

Fat Boy Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Do we want to get a pavilion? Or, just get on the water and fish? Quote
basser89 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Do we want to get a pavilion? Or, just get on the water and fish? From what I've heard, reserving a pavilion is on the expensive side at black hills. I did some checking on line and see there are several that are open (5 actually), but there was no pricing information that I found (doing a quick search). If we want to do a cookout after hitting the water (which is something we did with the PA get together I was involved in a few years back), we could go grab one of the non-reserved ones (which would be a cheaper route). I'll see if I can pop in to the visitors center soon to see what the rates are, if that's an option we want to explore. Quote
wv Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Glad things are coming together for the meet. I would be willing to help with any funds necessary for food, pavilion, etc. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted August 23, 2011 Super User Posted August 23, 2011 I am open to any dates unless I get behind on my school work. Allen Quote
wv Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Just checking in to see if anything new has happened. Hope things are still coming together. We haven't been fishing much...so no posting. Quote
Fat Boy Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Mabye it's not too bad of a price if everyone pitches in. I'd be willing to. Sean, did you find anything out? Quote

Sorry for the delay in posting! Things were a little crazy at work and was on vacation too so I hadn't been able to check. I'm going to make it over to talk to someone either today or tomorrow so I'll post the information I get ASAP! Quote
JigMe Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 I am back in town from an oversea business trip, and I am definately interested going. I am free first week of Oct. then gotta fly out again. Quote
wv Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Just checking into see if anything new has happened. Looks like I will be working until 10:00PM on October 1. I assume the get together will be on October 2. We will need fairly detailed directions to the spot where everybody will be gathering. I am pretty sure we could find the park but beyond that I'm not sure. We have never been to Black Hills. Any help would be appreciated. Also I would still be intersted in providing any help with any finds needed for the get together. If the thing gets postponed or cancelled that would be disappointing but understandable too. As for fishing, my guess is we would be shore fishing. Quote
