We won't be there in time to participate in the tournament, but I hope to get there in time for the weigh-in.

Last day to register at a reduced rate for the conference.
Don't forget to sign up for the fishing tourney while you're at it!!!
I made my participation official a few minutes ago! Glad I never signed up! Dont need a big red truck crashing into me! I feel safer staying here! Ouch!!!

Be there but still not sure topic being covered but looks like not dye. The buzzard bar was the location of the skunk- inside was a blast. The PB crowd stayed outside watching the skunk. I went in and listened to a talented perfromer sing, tell jokes and play guitar all well sitting beside Johnny Morris. Most were clueless who he was. He told me all about fishing and how much he enjoyed the PB crowd being there.

At least one skunk wanted to clean the floors INSIDE the bar. As I recall, at least one scream was heard, then a few minutes later a few guys herded the intruder back outside. I think at one point there were 5 skunks mulling around on the patio. There was also an albino skunk that hung out at the conference building.

We won't be able to make it this time due to the timing factor. Almost any other time of the year and I'd be there! This conference lands right at the time that we begin to release spring tilapia and shad, and also when we spawn our bass. Maybe next time.
It's ALL about the fish!

You could let Technoviking run things for a bit while you come to Big Cedar and let it all hang out.

Is anyone flying into the Springfield Airport on Wednesday Afternoon April 13, so I could beg a ride to Big Cedar?

I think I'm going to have to choose between a couple of weeks in New England in June vs. the Pond Boss convention for financial reasons. Sorry but I haven't been to my old stomping grounds in years.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Too bad you couldn't tie it in with a delivery of fish down to BP.

My young bride just got us registered in the past couple days. Looking forward to the presentations, suppliers, and The Buzzard Lounge. She was going to call for a room, is there a particular area near to the conference activities that we should request? Thanks.

Bryan, great news man!!! Todd, make it happen man! Cecil, decision is a no brainer, New England will always be there next year or even in June if someone catches a real big fish between now and then.

As much as I have enjoyed the two PB conferences I've attended, I just can't make it to this one. The timing is off for me given my line of work. Late March through mid-July is my prime time for stocking, shocking, consulting and all other things pond related. I was optimistic about trying to squeeze in the conference but it turns out now, I'll be in SE Iowa and then on to Tulsa, OK during the timespan encompassing the conference. I'm pretty bummed out because the PB conference is a great venue.

I'm all booked.
I must admit that I had a fear of running into Banks at 2AM with him toting a 12-pack of Keystone Light again.

Shawn, does the SE Iowa run mean I need to cancel to make sure I'm there for you?

Rex, no stocking on this trip. We're removing about 300 bass and building more reefs. Thanks for asking, though.
Sunil, I have no idea where the Keystone came from. I think TJ found it in the back of a pick-up truck. It could have been aftershave or turpentine and I think we would have consumed it. That kind of stuff happens at 2am!
I think Grimes was happy to hear me when I finally arrived to the cabin at 4am, but I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the 8am conference. Never did see TJ that day!

Shawn, there was a picture of TJ "the day after" at the pond...Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed are NOT the phrases to describe his look...lol The poor guy was hurtin!
He was trying to duck out of the pic frame, but his reflexes were still way too slow. IIRC, the picture is being used in the shots for this year's PBC promo.
