Touched base with Chris and he said "great." He said each boat must carry the standard insurance that would cover injury to someone on your boat.

In case some don't know what a strawman is, it is a possibility meant to start a discussion. Here is another strawman - we pick 2 days not associated with Veterans Day. Spend two days fishing and one night in shared cabin enjoying fun and fellowship.

Here's a strawman idea for multi-boat trip. Sandwich it around Nov 11, which is Veterans Day. That's when Striper Express has special trip out for veterans. Perhaps we could take some out as well on the 11th, and fish with one another on the day before or/and after. Rent a cabin that will handle all of us and stay 2 or 3 days - Wed -Fri Nov 10 -12. Add your thoughts and improvements. Those dates are good. 11/11 is a Wednesday.. We can book 2 nights, wed and Thursday nights.

Good informative post. We're going to try to hit them Thursday morning. We launch at tip of Preston peninsula so we're not too far from all those places. Never been into a bunch of stripers. Hope to catch a mess. I always thought a spoon would be good to catch them but never really got into them enough to see. We did go out couple of weeks ago and something was feeding hard in the cove we were in but only got a few bites but didn't catch anything.

I absolutely think Dennis' "straw man" idea for Veterans Day should be a go! We can get cabins / place to stay and help Cris and Bill of Stripper Express with their veterans event by taking some of their vets on our boats. We fish a day (or two) ahead of event and maybe a day after with our group.
Todd sounds like your in! Larry sounds like your in! Cliff's in ! Dennis is in! I think I can get my friend Bruce in. That's 4 boats if everybody listed would participate. From talking with Dennis today while we were catching 155 whites / 7 hybrids / some cats Dennis indicated that the vets event would probably consist of a lunch together through Stripper Express and then fishing in the afternoon. So we could use other days to fish together locating fish and enjoying fellowship with one other.
I'm a pretty good chef. If we don't stay out too late on our days of fishing, I'd be up to cook a great meal for everyone at least one night. Maybe more. I make a pretty good Jambalya that I can make ahead and reheat for a second meal. I'm excited about using my new Nautic Star 2110 Bay to bless others. This is right up my alley.
Chime in and express your thoughts ideas suggestions.
I'm open to how ever you guys want to do it and how ever I can serve.

I would be willing to add my boat to the mix. I have a bay boat and can fish 3-4. I am also a veteran so more than willing to help out other vets!

After a lengthy discussion on pros and cons of joining Striper Express's Veterans Day event, the group decided to keep our event separate. We will have opportunity to support vets at Cedar Creek's White Bass tournament on Oct 9, which raises $ to support veterans charities.
