I'm looking forward to the meeting everyone. I'll throw some ribs on the smoker to go along with Chris's Moms brisket.

When I wrote the invitation I didn't exclude anyone. I would cherish a lively exchange with anyone biological. Sure, we can be the Fox News of pond management. Bob, if you would invite, coerce, or beg Bob Waldrop to attend the Regional PB meeting, I will do the same with Todd Overton. I would pay good money to just sit back and listen to you guys discuss stocking phylosohy, genetics, etc. This would be three of the very BEST AGGIE fishery bilogists that TAMU has ever produced ... world class guys... We'll let FATTY moderate, "Fair and Balanced" ... I'm serious. George

Thanks for the invite. I doubt I can make it because I have customer fish pickup at our farm on Saturdays. I'll let you all know. Hope I can work it out.
It's ALL about the fish!

I just had an idea about the meal. There is a place in Paris called the Fish Fry. It is all you can eat catfish and is excellent. Everybody could eat lunch before you show up at noon then we could all go to the Fish Fry at 6 or 7.

Chris is correct, The Fish Fry is an outstanding place to eat catfish, seafood, or a steak. If we decide to go there for an evening meal we should get a headcount and make a reservation. They have several different rooms of varying sizes that can be reserved. The owner, Don Ensey, is also an avid fisherman and pondmeister and I'm sure would be proud to have us.

Chris and Frank are right on = Fish Fry place in Paris best ever. We go there often with my son and his family Add son Jeff's name to attendance list as probable. After all, he is my pond owner and I'm the "sharecropper" and "feeloader"...

So here is the plan for next Saturday.
Show up at 12. We will have sandwich stuff and drinks for everybody.We will check out the pond and talk, then at 6:30 we will head into Paris and eat at the Fish Fry.
Depending on how cold it is we may spend most of the time at Franks place because he has a shop we can get inside.

Attention N/NE Texas Pond/Bossers - don't miss out on this opportunity to visit and see Chris and Franks new ponds, discuss fish stocking, and mistakes made (mine). I'll even give a free geology consultation about the very intersting areas of our pond locations (read water quality). It will be worth every cent ...

Ouch, my Under Armor is at Bowie.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Any ideas for a program other than look at fpeeps and Chris’s ponds?
IIRC the Regional PB meeting origin was a forum request from Frank about stocking his new pond. I was interested from a neighbor standpoint to offer my stocking experience, failures and success. So let’s not stray from the main topic.
Chris responded upon discovering his pond was only a mile away, and he contacted Lusk who suggested a meeting.
So here goes with my idea for discussion: Lusk overview as to typical/standard stocking for a N.E. Texas “balanced” pond. Discussion of adult species stocking options. Hybrid Striper “put & take” stocking Native BG/CNBG F-1’s BG Genetics (this is my reason for suggesting Lusk, Waldrop, and Overton discussion) and my current primary interest.
Any others – these are only my ideas. George

Sounds like a good start George. I am interested in getting more info about a HSB pond because that is what I would like to stock. I would also like to hear more about choosing native BG vs. Coppernose BG.

For those of us who can't make it, someone should volunteer to take pics and notes to sum up the meeting discussion.
