I'll figure it out tonight and I'll post what I'm bringing.

Too much beer will make you fart in your waders... Just sayin.

by **Hoffman** » Apr Fri 20, 2012 5:07 pm

Someone should bring elote. Even though Bob disagrees I believe early season corn is better if y
ou brine it for 12-24 hours. I guess if no one steps up I might. We need more grill space. Do we have an accurate head count?

Not sure what is going on that weekend. But very possible. Sounds crowded.

Fished it a few times on the kayak. Fishing seems to be great or horrible. Overall a fun lake.

Had no idea booze was allowed. Seems funky to me. They don't like the ice guys, I know that.

Well, I picked up my WS Ride 115 at a freight terminal last Monday. Came with a paddle. Bought a vest, rod holder. Made a PVC kayak stand Saturday. Cut a piece of cutting board and made a trax mount for my rod holder. Then yesterday used up the remainder of my Bass Pro gift cards to buy the Lowrance Elite-4x DSI fishfinder. Now I need to fashion a mount for that. I should be ready for my maiden voyage at paddle palooza. Seems like the best place to start, as there will be plenty to pull me out on my first spill,LOL.

I am still on fence. I been day to day all winter...

by **Osprey** » Apr Mon 23, 2012 7:51 pm

O.K. looks like this thing is finally starting to heat up so let's make sure that we have verything covered.

As for myself, I'm bringing:

(1) Gas grill & gas
Chimney starter and starting supplies
Bag O charcoal (kingsford of course)
A salad that involves beans
Vegies to be grilled

Are we still short a grill? Maybe I can make something happen but no promises.
I think we have commitments for plenty of beer.

What is still lacking?

by **red_mucilin** » Apr Mon 23, 2012 10:17 pm

If I show I'll try and bring the middle weber I rebuilt. I think a trip to car wash and it'll transport well.
Of course I could figure a way to mount it to yak trailer. :shock:

by **Hoffman** » Apr Tue 24, 2012 4:47 pm

I am canceling the pickled shrimp and will make the arrechera , pico de gallo, and the ABTs.

by **BassCaster** » Apr Tue 24, 2012 5:58 pm

Depending on the weather

I am in.

I'll bring a cold beverage :thumbup:

How would a gallon of chilli made off of a U S Army receipt but changed for senior citizens (no sugar,salt and easy on spices) sound?

I could not over the last 50 years find a way to pick out those things so I could give it to sick folks but it is real easy for

by **Bad Water Bill** » Apr Fri 27, 2012 1:19 pm

When I make the chilli I make it in FIVE GALLON batches and freeze it.

The problem is that most of my friends keep getting OLDER and have health problems.

All I have to do is take 4 quarts out of the freezer the night before and I am good to go.

YOU bring your own POISON

Bad Water Bill, bring the no salt chili. I'll eat that up. Perfect for my low-sodium diet. My potatoes will be no sodium too.

by **red_mucilin** » Apr Fri 27, 2012 3:40 pm

Dw can paddle my yak no fish in that water anyway. See you Saturday.

I learned a loooong time ago it is hard to pick out those grains of salt or sugar while wearing boxing gloves. :lol:

Dw using kids as crutch again that work till they are 30 or is there an earlier cutoff....

I think we both need to move to Loozy...

by **Darth Wader** » Apr Sat 28, 2012 11:53 pm

C'mon man...you do realize I see my kids less than 26 times a year??

That just happens to be my weekend with them.

If I can talk FishWhistle into it we will be there.

If not..so be it.

My kids trump anything and everything in my world.

by **TheWoz** » Apr Sun 29, 2012 12:08 am

I think Emcho is gonna be borrowing my gf's yak. So we'll be there !

by **Hoffman** » Apr Sun 29, 2012 8:42 am

Jason, I will throw together a couple skewers of shrimp marinated with lime, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, evoo, and pinch of S & P.

If that sounds up your alley?

by **Darth Wader** » Apr Sun 29, 2012 9:35 pm

Thanks Con...I'mma do what I can. And Yes..way too cool

Plus she is super busy with her Theatre production...

Not to mention Prom is next weekend....god I feel old right now.

by **JasonN** » Apr Mon 30, 2012 1:27 pm

Nathan, sounds great, only thing is, I don't eat shrimp. Technical difficulties. But thanks for the offer! I'll be cheating on the no sodium for a bit that day anyways. I usually do once per week. Doc says it's ok once in a while.

I grab a seedless watermelon between now and then too. I'll toss in some old charcoal I got laying around too.

by **BASSPROMATUK** » Apr Mon 30, 2012 9:38 pm

I might bring Sam out if I can get her up at 5:30am... I would love to hit this lake again... What else can be brought? I have a pack of brats in the fridge and a bunch of Mountain Dew for you non alcoholics... Anything else I can pick up if we can get out there???

What time are we starting in the morning?

by **TheWoz** » May Tue 01, 2012 7:56 am

I have a fold up wooden table I can bring. It should fit 6-8 around it. I can bring it.

by **Bad Water Bill** » May Tue 01, 2012 9:11 am

Does anyone know if there is electricity available?

I can bring a crock pot to keep the chilli warm if there is.

By the way the chilli is BYOB

by **Osprey** » May Tue 01, 2012 10:16 am

I have a table I bring, do we still need it? I'm bringing a bag of jalapenos along with the other veggies to through on grill.

Hmm how about some grilling tools? I'll bring: tongs, fork and grill brush.

by **choupiquer** » May Tue 01, 2012 11:56 am

What are you going with the jalapenos?

Briskly roll them between my hands and lightly char on the grill in order to "activate" them; served that way that make a nice compliment to any type of grilled meat.

by **tmoney** » May Tue 01, 2012 1:41 pm

It is with great sadness that I must remove myself from the list of attendees. Something came up at work, and I will not be able to be there. Needless to say I'm not happy. Have some brats, and more than a few beverages for me. Yak on!

by **choupiquer** » May Tue 01, 2012 8:05 pm

Speaking of. Are you sporting your RCA membership? :mrgreen:

Look cool as hell on my ice shanty. I need another on the yak but I got s.c.o.f. sticker there so semi good.

That does not mean Bring Your Own Boob. We have enough of them joining us already.

How about knives,forks,spoons,napkins and bowls.

by **catchafew** » May Wed 02, 2012 11:02 am

I don't know what the heck to bring. Last time I brought 2 dozen dounuts and a couple quarts of coffee if you have any other ideas please let me know.

FYI, Bigslick has contacted me and so he has canoe to use if need be.

by **red_mucilin** » May Wed 02, 2012 11:06 am
