Nice job Zombie!!!

I'll be there Saturday morning.

Spot 29 sir!

Sweet

I'm ready, hopefully this time I'll catch a fish!

I will bring my cast new so that you dont get skunked! lol

:

I am not bringing any food man, you dont catch fish then you dont eat! bet you will be fishing for drum real soon! LMAO!

Yum, fresh drum!

What's a cast new?

Net REN! I'm blaming it on autocorrect. Back to GTG thread didn't mean to get off topic sorry.

Oh...thought you had some kinda secret weapon or something

^^^^^


All the B.S. is part if the GTG

I've got spot 26 reserved for Friday and Sat nights.

Are newbies Welcome? I have been considering purchasing a kayak but I would really like to paddle a couple first to get a feel for it. I thought this might be a good way to tell if its for me.

D

LoL Ill be there then!

Lmao zombo!

I will be there Saturday AM

Bert, will you have stake out poles for sell?

Page 2

Probably not going to make an order but I still have some that were not picked up C-Frog.

I'm the one that asked, can you just bring that one to the gtg

I have the Friday before reserved for a day off of work already so I can head down there and get a day of fishing in with all the early campers. Not sure if I am camping yet or chrashing at Todds house, need to get with him to see what is going on. Will be a welcome break to sleep on the ground/couch and not have a crying new born waking me up every few hrs .

You would rather listen to Rev snore?

Congrats soldier!

Looking forward to it...

I do snore and it's an experience you don't want to miss!!!

Not sure if I'm camping yet. Sounds like fun but I'm 15 minutes away and a nice bed sounds good too.

X2

Sat morning.

Count me in too!

I will be there, as will the wifey.

well yea.. x3

I've never been to Lake Grapevine and I think this would be a really cool event to attend

Just asked the wife if I could, said yes.

Is Mariner Sails bringing any demos like the PA12 and the new PA14? Man its only a month and half away. I don't see why I wont be able to attend.

see tiger I knew you would be back. Already thinking about a new yak? WTG!

I will be there

Totally looking forward to the event, should be allot of fun. The KI team will be available for any question.

ST,

Abso-positively...you will have the opportunity to demo a PA 12 & the newly updated PA 14 along with many other enticing fishing machines. We are looking forward to the Fall G2G!

BTW...we have some great end of year deals on 2012 PA's (12's & 14's) as well as our other lines too. Call me or come by the store for details.

Ill be there! Twin peak girls...???

Sorry Thorpedo the TP girls won't be be with us. I'm sure they would join us again, they just were not invited.

(more pc)

Looks like it's going to be a good time! Hope to see everyone out there that was at the spring GTG and more!

can't wait

All right, I will be there with kayak instruction, plan on having a great time and also I will be donating to the raffle a hand braided paddle leash, about 3.5-4 foot in length, fish zombie says he thinks it should be black, I was think a red,white and blue camp pattern with a coyote tan as accent color, seeing that I am with HOW and all, what do you's guys think? Pm me with ideas.

^^^ he forgot to mention that I will be giving him another fishing lesson!!!

Nice... Ok I should be there. If the PA14 is as nice as I think it should be, I'm putting my outback on the market.

Zombie: u going to put a list of who is bringing what?

KI, Mariner, APT?

List of volunteers to bring stuff like food, plates, utensils, napkins etc..

i myself can bring plates and utensils

I told my wife I was planning on attending this. She looked at me with the big puppy dog eyes and says, "Do I get to go? It sounds like fun."
It looks like i am gonna have to save up for 2 kayaks now.

More kayaks the better.

Thought you'd never ask

We have decided that B_Rod & his most awesome wife will be cooking the
night before: Carna Asada, Rice & Beans for about 80-100.


Here is a list of the things that I know will be needed...


Styrofoam Plates
4 rolls of Napkins
3 boxes of Forks
Tortillas & or Bread
Bottled Water
Soft Drinks: Sprite, Coke, DP, etc.
Bags of Ice 8-10
8 Large trash bags
4 Additional Folding Tables
2 Additional Canopies
3 Additional Coolers (Large) for GTG Drinks

Please feel free to volunteer to bring something from the list.
Everything but the Ice, Tortillas/Bread can be reused if not used at this GTG time around. I think it's better to have more than we need than to have too little. For example: We need 100 forks for the GTG but if we have 200 the remaining forks can be taken home.


I will bring:
1 Case "Coke"
1 Roll of Napkins
8 Large Trash Bags
1 Folding Table

I can bring a folding table and case of waters.

I can also bring a 5 gallon Igloo if someone was planning on mixing up tea???

I'll bring 2 rolls of napkins, forks and a large 5 gallon cooler for drinks.

I will bring a large cooler with 2 bags of ice, 2 small and one large folding table, and I will swing by Sam's and get a huge box of forks to cover them all. I will also hit up the Tortilla Factory in Plano and get 6 dozen corn and 6 dozen flour tortillas and bring a camp grill and griddle to heat them up on.

I also have 4-6 rolls of paper towels left over from the last GTG I can donate for napkins.

I forgot to mention, if you have not had B-Rods better half's carne asada you better come get ya some! That is good eats right there.

Ill bring a canopy, 48 quart ice chest, and styrofoam plates

Bring your wife. This will be a great time for her to try out a bunch of kayaks and decide which one.



Carna Asada! I'll bring an appetite!

My wife had a great time at the Spring GTG and is looking forward to this one.

Well the cooler weather has got me kinda in the mood to fire up the forge and pound some steal. I have some major stress issues building, so it may do the world a favor LOL! It seemed folks got a kick out of the spike knife last spring, should I do another one for the fall GTG?

Well I hadn't seen it, so sure.

PLEASE!!!

Maybe I'll get lucky this year!

YES!!!!!!!

To clarify. They are cooking the carna asada on Friday night to serve for lunch on Saturday?

I'll get a list of stuff I'm bringing as soon as I inventory my camp box.

I got started on a couple after work, I will have to hammer out a few to pick out the worthy one for the GTG.

Hammering some steal by Texas big redneck, on Flickr

These still have a ways to go, but I got something started. These spikes look ok, but the may not be worthy for the GTG. I will keep working on them while I hammer out a few more in a day or two. A couple spikes and a couple letter openers.

A couple spikes & by Texas big redneck, on Flickr

Awesome work BRN!!!

Allow me to clarify...the meat and chicken will be marinaded Friday night, and I will grill it Sat morning. I am brining a gas grill and I believe Todd is bringing a large charcoal grill. If someone wants to bring a third grill, even better. With three grills running, we can probably grill the meat in an hour. The rice and beans will be made late the previous evening and warmed up Sat morning. We will have homemade salsa too (we don't mess around) as well as tortillas, probably a mix of flour and corn tortillas.

Not to brag, but my wife's carne (and chicken) asada recipe is pretty dang good. Looking forward to sharing it with my brother (and sister) kayakers.

Well freak frack! I did a oops at work and now I'm at the ER waiting forever. I cut my hand and got the tendons in my pinky and ring fingers on my right hand. I hope to be swinging the hammer way before the GTG. I might try to slime the yak this weekend a little if I can sneak past the wife LOL!

Thank you B_Rod and your wife for the cooking, I'm getting hungry just reading it.

Hey, I love to brag on my wife!!!
AND, we're really looking forward to you sharing it!!!!

Thanks for cooking B-Rod

Invite Dan if he is in town, love to see him there.

Okay guys We're going to do a benefit tournament for Heroes On the Water Friday night. There'll be a bass and catfish division with half proceeds going to HOW. I'll post up more details within the next couple days.

I'm in on the catfish....

Depending on times

I'm out, gotta catch some Sandies so chess has something to eat

Haha...we shall see..... this time I'm taking my bank rods

Well, I was just informed I may be travelling the week of the 24th. So, I not sure how being gone all week and then camping for the weekend is going to fly.

We will still def make the GTG, just unsure about the camping. I currently have spot 26 reserved Friday - Sunday. I will post up if I am not going to use it so someone else can.

lol this time you get paved roads so you won't have to paddle a mile into the wind

It was tough but well worth it!

Got 4 ready for the GTG giveaway.

COOL

www.ClassicOfCarrollton.com

Im in.... maybe someone can show me how to catch a fish!

If people ar unable to make this due to various reason how would they donate and who should they contact?

Hypothetically right?

Well, we should really wait for a HOW rep to chime in.
But, most of us here have yak angling buddies that are attending.
Let me suggest you let them bring your donation to the GTG for ya

FYI: Our GTGs are open to everyone in the sport or that's looking at getting into it!

you can donate online at...

http://www.heroesonthewater.org/get-involved/make-a-donation

Come on out to the GTG. It will be a blast! Look for the open invites before the weekends and join one. They are open to anybody and the more the better. I also don't know anybody in this section of the forum that would not bend over backwards to teach you how to catch fish.

http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/7954901#Post7954901

RISE Adventures info, post up in THAT thread if you plan to attend. 1/2 entry fee will be limited to the first 15 volunteers that show up at the RISE event.

B-Rod, got ya covered like we had discussed on the food.

I understand some folks have asked about making donations but are unable to attend the event. Yes, you can directly donate at www.heroesonthewater.org BUT if you are donating because you're hearing of this event WE WANT YOUR DONATIONS COUNTED TOWARDS THIS EVENT. Discretion is no issue & you're money does not have to pass through any hands that you're not comfortable with. Feel free to contact me via PM or via phone 817.410.1564 direct so that it can at least be added to the total collected on behalf of the North Texas Kayakers. Last year this event raised over $800, a respectable total, but let's blow it away this year.

Thanks!

Jason Foshea/ D/FW HOW assistant/ gopher/ marketing guy person.

Just make sure that anyone donating on behalf of this event reports it to us (discreetly if that's your preference), we want to get a good total raised by the North Texas Kayakers GTG. Your name isn't necessary, just a PM or phone call. My contact info is listed above or you can PM me here.

Please add my name to the list of attendees.

M.saxatilis

Gotcha sax

Put me down for a no show. You guys have fun!!!

Thanks for the support!

R E N was trying to finish up school since he was out of work for while. Now that he a workin man again, they got him working like a Dawg! R E N, Do your thing chicken wing We know how it is.

Besides it just means more Food n Prizes for everyone else

Mmm Carne Asada!

I'm in

OMG!

A box of goodies came in a few days ago. Donated for the GTG from a small shop in Tennessee that I like to shop at.

Box of by Texas kayak fishing, on Flickr

OMG indeed!

Orange assassin is a maybe at this point. I'm still working on him.

That's great!

pontiactech,

I got cha bro.

I really got back at it this evening, I even sent a text out to a friend letting him know that I was half skeerd it might hurt LOL! He said go for it! Several hours later the hand is being iced down, but with satisfaction. My hammer strikes stink, I moved down to a three pound hammer and it was a PETA griping with out the pinky and unstable. It will get better with practice and time. My oldest is showing interest again so he may be pounding some out soon. 
After I work on these a little, I may have to let you guys vote on which blade is worthy of our GTG, so give me a few days to get a little more before the final finish.

Getting back by Texas big redneck, on Flickr

unfortunately I'll miss this one. I will be at Purtis for the tourney on Sunday so I'll get to meet some of you.

Since I got a deer permit draw on grapevine I will be right down the lake from you guys about 20' up in tree right near the crick. I'll drop by around lunch time unless I had a heart attack dragging my first deer of the season back to the truck.

I see everyone Saturday morning.

Slad & MR,

We put your names on the list sirs.
Look forward to meeting you some day Mr. Payne
MR bring your moccasins. (inside joke)

If YOU are planning on joining us on the 29th, please post up so we can put your name in the hat drawing.

Thnx,

- Zombie

That's cool redneck. I would like to see one made from start to finish. Be careful and don't mess that hand up any more.

Shaun Russell gets my spot, spot 26. All I ask is you leave 2 spaces open for me and my son in the event we can show up...but work has me traveling quite a bit so I am not sure we will make it.

Whatcha talkin bout txfo?

Man it sucks. I wont come in until about 5PM that Friday night after being on the road for 3 weeks straight. Work sucks, but it pays for our hobbies .

It's killing me because there was so much I wanted to do at this GTG. Maybe I should just ask for FMLA since it's an addiction and all???

If my schedule changes though, I will still be there

this newbie is going to be there

Roger that BoPeep you are clear to land. OVER.

I am in! Let me know if I can bring anything.

Take a mental health day!!!

I'm in but will be later in the day looking forward to it

Flipside + 1

I've been following this forum for a good while, just not much of a poster. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Mr. Fish ZoMbiE,
Please put me down with a possible +1

Thank you sir.

I'm in +2 maybe there mid day

Nice!

Just busting his nads

I'm planning on coming.

Not sure yet whether I'll be camping or not. Does anyone know whether or not the camp sites have any trees, to hang a hammock?

No wonder they been aching...

Yep. U might post here too.
http://texasfishingforum.com/forums/ubbt...ead#Post7994497

There are trees but they are kinda far apart so not much of a hammock Site selection.

wow, 2 weeks ago, i thought - oh, i have plenty of time to chime in and say howdy, and count me in. Now, it's only 2 weeks away! Count me in for sure. I really hope the weather is better than last year. Weather issues or not, it'll still be a fun event.
Thought I would stick a pic up here for old time's sake...

Thought I would mention - Twin Coves Park has an un-manned entry gate. The machine ONLY TAKES CREDIT CARDS - NOT cash.

And for safety's sake - watch out for the bike riders - they're thick as a school of shad on the park roads !

That's a new feature! Any idea what the entry fee is?

Is Shaun Russell going to be there?

Who's Shaun Russel? Is he another newbie???

JTMAX,

Nice pic! Thanks for sharing. Youd never know by that pic that the wind was gusting over 40mph that day!

Should be a good time weather permitting.

Question: Are Newbies Welcome?
Answer:


Want to learn more about the Sport or just wanna meet the group?

He better. I put him down twice

Put me in for two. Looks like I will be able to make it.

Yay, I get to be in the drawings this time!!!

Zombie put me in for drawing. See you thier.

So excited about this! I cannot wait.

Question: Are the times firm? Meaning, do we need to meet up at 8am or can I just leisurely show up? I'd like to get out there early...5am or so to hit the water before sun up.

Hit the water when u want Our GTG is set for 8am- park closes.
Some will be coming and going all day. Be there early to assist
& meet the group. This is our GTG. It's for us, by us so please pitch in where u can when u can. Lookin forward to it

Cool. Can I bring anything? Food? Water?

Donation for HOW & Water would be most appreciated

Was planning on donating and I'll bring H2O.

Sign me up, can't wait to meet everyone!

T, your in

We'd like to help with HOW fundraising at the GTG. Let me know if there is anything we can do to contribute to the success of your fundraising efforts!

Aris

Can we donate at the GTG? Will there be a HOW donation box setup?

If there isn't a booth outright, I'm sure we will have something set up.

Josh, heard of any official plans re a HOW booth?

Thank you yakintime,

I am calling you now...
Also, There will be at least 1 rep from HOW with the donation box.
Jason Foshae will most likely be with us.
Sometime after or during lunch we would like to give everyone
that came later the opportunity to contribute. Then we will announce
what was raised

I will be there with my new Yak if I get back early enough from LMFR. Hopefully I will have a bunch of good fishing lie--- stories to tell..

I will be there with my hubby, Basscowboy. look forward to meeting you guys, ive heard loads about you, especially the KI STAR team guys. I dont have my own Kayak yet, my husband is planning on getting me a cuds 12 in pink and yellow. But I will be there none the less, to show my support for my HOW, my husband and the STAR team.

so... im apparently working on the 29th until noon

-___- will see about that.

Fixed it,begged and cried I'm in!

Nice!

Anyone know how the fishing from the shore is there? It's a little too far for me to take my yak in my itty bitty 4.5 foot bed. But I plan on being there and on medical standby if need be.

Yeah, catfishing can be really good there particularly if the wind is blowing out of the south across the lake. There are some nice drop offs close enough to the shore to get out to. I've caught some cats upwards of 20-30 lbs over there. I plan on bringing my bank rods Friday night if the wind is right.

I plan to bank fish campsite 29(assuming this site don't have trees blocking it from bank fishing) friday-Sunday.

gone_fishing>If I get back from LMFR in time I will come see ya at # 29.

Does anyone know if there is still a bun bane going on there?

Like hair buns?

what does GTG stand for?

(be gentle, first post on this forum)

GTG = Get Together

Let me try this again. Does anyone know if there is still a fire bane in effect where the GTG is?

Your spelling is greatness.

I use this site to check for burn bans. According to them, Denton county has a burn ban, but Tarrant county currently does not. Seems the camp site is close to the border between the counties? Not sure which county it is in.

The park is in Denton County.

I would just plan on not being able to have wood or charcoal fires. Propane stoves and cookers are allowed during a burn ban.

I was told by a park ranger during a fire ban that charcoal grills are ok as long as they are off the ground. So you just can't use the ones that you put the charcoal on the ground.

Oh No! Long range weather on TV said a possibility of "significant rainfall" by next weekend. Said it depends on a front coming up from Mexico.

I just saw this too. Forecast is calling for t-storms starting this Friday and into the weekend.

GOOD INFO!
We will definitely be keepin an eye on the forecast.
It's WAAAY Too early to call at this point.
Even 40% chance of rain & CHANCE for Thunderstorms usually = good fishing weather IMO

I will be going no matter what. Just won't be going to GTG if rescheduled October-November looks booked with Texoma-twak trips

I've fished in the rain before

dang, my fishing license expired. better get a new one before saturday. actually, im not really going there to fish, rather to just hang out and meet some people.

I just took a look and it showed 0% for Friday and Saturday. Slight breeze and cloud cover!! Should be make for some god fishing.

OMG, your young one is already tainted! Hahaha Go Pack!

I don't mind a little rain, and I SURE like the wind forecast, seeing how I'm a paddle type guy.

I'm in #28 and plan to hit the bank, also. No trees in the way....

Ima be there camping as well. It's been a while since I have been to one of these, I'm looking forward to it!

sweet, I'm bringing my saine and tried net.

Are these your other secret weapons?

yes, I am very generic! My "tried" but did not succeed! Sorry I'm not a "team REN" or I would be able to break out the full arsenal.

Maybe I will just bring worms.

I will be there Friday and will show you a couple of ways to throw the net, one of them from the seated position so you can throw it from the yak. We are going to try and do a video of it at the GTG on Saturday and post it so people can use it to learn with.

damn, my wife wants to trade in the CRV tonight, now i don't have a vehicle to transport my yak. LOL

I picked up some "Catfish Charlie" today.

Satalite images show very rocky shore. Hope that cove is sandy. Won't be wade fishing for sure!

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will waive day-use fees at its more than 2,400 USACE-operated recreation areas nationwide in recognition of National Public Lands Day, Sept. 29. This includes the 38 lakes located within the Tulsa District USACE. On this day, fees normally charged at boat launch ramps and swimming beaches will be waived. USACE does not charge entrance fees to its parks.

The waiver does not apply to camping and camping-related services, or fees for specialized facilities such as group picnic shelters. Other agencies and partners that manage recreation areas located on USACE lands are encouraged but not required to comply with this waiver of day-use fees in the areas they manage.

Per the COE FaceBook page!

Is there a registration link or anything I need to do to sign up for this event? It sounds like a lot of fun. I'm very new to kayak fishing and live close by. Would really love to come take part. Really glad to see your group supporting our veterans!

Your name is on the list 44

If you can make it out to "The Lil Plastic Boat Get ToGether", please let us know.
It will help us plan for chow better & get your name in the hat drawing.

I figured you'd be in tree stand saturday anyway.

I'm bidding my time. Oct 15th will be here soon enough and then so will I.




Actually I think Sunday I'm gonna go try to stick a couple of footballs for the smoker. The COE at GV will be pretty dead. Youth hunt doesn't start till the first but adults can't hunt till the 15th. Only ones who about to be out there if any one is maybe somebody else looking for hogs or maybe tree rats.

I got Thursday and Friday off to head down to GV early and get some fishing in. Got to love a place that gives me time off during the weekday to go fishing, not a bad deal at all. I'll probably make it down to the camp grounds around 3pm or so to hang out and get the boat wet. Been about a month since I went fishing last due to the little one and need to get some time on the water badly.

We still having the "castaway race"? I have one that's ready to go, if we get atleast 3 then we could have some interesting. races!!!

Castaway race? Sounds like fun bring em!

Sorry guys, last minute cancellation. My wife boss is asking she work tomorrow because its budgeting season. So unless I can find a babysitter, you all have fun!

After much deliberation Team REN is now a maybe to attend the GTG. Team REN will not let the over population of fishing teams & professional sponsored anglers deter Team REN from the GTG. After much research, it has been confirmed there will be some of us "regular" guys also attending. These are the guys I feel I'll have more in common with. Team REN ask to NOT be included in raffle drawings of any kind....That is all. End line.

yay! hope you can make it, man!

Hey what time will the gates be opening in the morning?

I believe 8 am...

Thank goodness you decided to make a personal appearanceat the G2G for the unveiling of your new TeamRen pantalones!

Since Bruno McMuscles, our male model has cancelled at the last minute, maybe you can take over in his absence and model the new goods. You will be more famous than Jim Palmer and his Jockeys!

So does that mean we can't get in until 8am? You're referring to the Twin Coves gate?

Hey Spiny, what time are you starting breakfast?

Does anyone have the number for Murrell park so we can verify what time we can get in?

I just got word from Jerry that Murrell's gates open at 0600.

Enter twin coves park saturday at 8:am

Watching the news guys...at least 1" of rain expected... Ugh

If you can, pull up the radar map and check out all the green out west that's headed our way.

DON'T BE SCARED YALL


Nothing heavy on the radar.
Just some light and scattered rain...

Ill be there around 9:00am

I am here at Murrell launching. The rain is an after thought. Just sprinkling. PERFECT FISHING WEATHER.

Where is everyone??? I'm at twin coves but I see everyone at Murrll still?!?

Is there a marina or something nearby to buy a license and poncho?

There's twin coves marina you have to get to it through murell park though. I'm at roanoke wallyworld getting license and change be there soon

I am sitting in my shop with my yak behind my truck setting up to carve a cows head as a pattern for a roto-molded roping dummy. Decent paying job came in last night on the condition it will be finished by Monday AM.


I am probably going to start the carving machine running, stash my yak in the shop and head over to the GTG with the machine running un-attended. Hopefully I'll come back to finished cow head and not another naked woman like last time.

Been planning on this one for a long time, but work is pretty precious right now and this will add to my yak upgrade stash.

See Ya Soon, ( I hope ) Phill

Need location!

Another geat GTG! We can't thank Zombi and the crew enough for putting this on!

A LOT of rain, but no one seemed to mind. A lot of old friends and a lot of new ones, too. There was a lot of pictures taken, and I'm sure they will start showing up pretty soon.

Thanks to Spiney for helping me out this wekend. The breakfast was good and the coffee was STOUT.
