I'm getting there Wed. April 13th, too. My Dad will be meeting me there again, like last year. He can't wait either. This year I'm bring along our limnologist, Dr. Amanda Quillen. I'm sure she will be well liked by the Pond Boss Family. She will be talking at the conference and surely be joining us at the Buzzard Lounge. Unfortunately I'm not bringing my kids, much to thier dismay. They have Florida State Testing (FCAT) at their schools that week which can't be skipped. I just hope my husband makes sure they get plenty of rest and healthy breakfasts each morning. I also know that our Australian friend, Scotty Tucker, who was there at the last conference will be in attendance.

Lassig, turkey season you will have every single spring and fall, plus you have a great shot at bagging your bird on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of the first season. With a new pond awaiting the arrival of fish your entire pond destiny will forever be changed by this one event. One of many examples would be Bruce's talk about Premium Production of Sunfish. You miss this conference and the task of producing premium sunfish in your pond definitely gets harder after your initial stocking later this spring......
JKB, the future is now buddy. A weekend spent with the pond boss people is life changing in many ways. There is no better return on your investment of time and money than spent on this weekend. Why put everything on hold till maybe in the future???

I'll be there most likely solo, and sometime mid-day on Thursday.

I made it for the weigh in last time after arriving late due to kind of flying in to the wrong airport.

I expect I'll be there. Really haven't discussed it with my Social Director yet.
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.

I expect you'll be there also. Let me know if I need to speak to your "Social Director."

Zep, give us some details about why your on the fence and I will give you my best sales pitch as well.... LOL...thanks n8ly. I will be right in the middle of a house move, so not sure I can swing it. But hey I just may need a break by then anyway. Plus I've always wanted to visit the Branson area, I know it would be educational and fun to attend. Anybody know...is that about an 8-9 hour drive from Dallas?

I would also like to attend Nate, but I have daily obligations that prohibit me from such a fun and great event. Maybe in a few years. Nate, you need to be on your game in the fishing tournament! Go Get Em!!! Have great fun, and fill us all in. I cant wait

JKB, Everyone has daily obligations. You will only be busier and more important a few years down the road and before you know it you will be old never have attended a Pond Boss Conference.
In regards to fishing, I will talk trash all the way up till the tournament, but most likely will finish somewhere in the middle. You have to remember I am a laid back live bait fisherman and rarely if ever bass fish. Standing and casting is waay too much work. As long as someone takes down Bruce this year alls good.

You just go get em Nate! I am probably a good 20 to 25 years older than you. Cancer, Heart Disease and broken bones that cant be surgically fixed, dont take vacations! So give us a good accounting of you whooping Bruce's butt! I have faith in you Nate! Do the best you can, and that will be great!
