I do have every intention on being there. As long as don't have to work that weekend.
However, I will bring my deep fryer and as much fish as I can muster. Bluegills and some early spring bass sure sound good. If any of you have extra fish and or anything we can deep fry, please feel free to bring it. Lol

I hate to admit it, but I have never properly filleted a fish. Every attempt I have made resulted in a horrific butchering. I'd like to make a point to hit some of the surrounding areas and catch some fish. Then have you fellers teach me how to filet a fish. Then eat the tasty little bastards!
I like seeing other ways. I don't dehead or gut. I just cut down the spine and follow the ribs as best I can. Then I generally remove the skin.

Yeah. Jesse, if you get a fish with thicker bones, like catfish, you can filet them just like you cut the back straps out of a deer. Main thing is you need a good filet knife.

A sharp fillet knife is a must. My buddy Chip uses an electric knife, and is fast and proficient as heck with it. He can do two to my one. Iam fairly fast myself and he makes short order with his electric knife.

WHHHEEWWWW WEEE come on July!
C1000, glad to hear you are most likely joining us this year. I only made it last year and it was a blast! Don't believe these fellas when they tell you that you need to lose an arrow or shoot 200yrds. It is not for everyone and not everyone is shooting $1,000 setups. Not saying that equipment is needed to take the shot and have fun, but it's not for everyone (including me). Take the equipment you have, have some fun and do some nock hunting. Heck, you may even have Beener thinking of buying a "mid-range" bow when it's all said and done.
One thing these guys forgot to tell you is to bring equipment for rain. Whether that is a tarp for your tent, a poncho, x-tra trashbags, or an easy-up, it will most likely rain being a TOO event!
Adam, that sucks man. If things change and you get time off and want to hitch a ride, just let me know as we get closer. Not sure when i'll be heading down or back, but the offer is always there.

I have tarps to attach to my jeep as we do when camping but we usually use other jeeps for the other end lol, I usually sleep in my jeep as well lol I've never heard the term knock hunting..dunno? Haha
Even if I did get a chance to go I wouldn't be able to leave until Friday evening after work. I would still have to take a vacation day for Saturday leaving me 2 vacation days and 3 personal days for the rest of the year. Burn a Friday and Saturday for vacation for this fall.... Hmmm
Well you had to, because you bought a one of a kind bow and couldn't get parts for it when it broke. lol
I believe I recall you sitting around the fire stating you were going to look into mid-range bows. Just recalling your words my friend :smiley_crocodile:. Whether you drive a Kia, a Chevy, or a Ferrari it ain't none of my business!
