I am hosting a Pond Boss Connect meeting at my house/lake/dock on the weekend of September 27th and 28th.
Show up, dammit!
Mr. Bob Lusk, the Pond Boss himself will be in attendance.
I have decided that the following rules apply.
1. Bring your sense of humor. Almost anything goes.
2. Absolutely NO discussion of pond weeds allowed. Fish only.
3. Alcohol encouraged.
4. Primary meeting at my place. TJ also hosting shuttle rides to his place for observation of giant hybrid striper feedings.
5. What happens at pond-a-palooza, STAYS at pond-a-palooza.
Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.

I will be giving demonstrations on photographic technique. I will show how to use a simple, inexpensive point and shoot camera that is available at Wal-Mart to take stunning pictures of your catch. If you say anything negative about the way I take pictures on this thread I will delete your efforts. If you come to my dock and criticize my photography, I will push you into the water.

Wife and I are just waiting to see if her mother can babysit the kids.
Won't know 'til tomorrow.

Tough decision.

If you mention pond weeds or vegetation in any way, you will be pushed in the water.

What a way to promote an event!
Threatening the potential attendees.....sheesh!

Threatening the potential attendees.....sheesh! It's a distillation process. It assures that the people attending REALLY want to be there. If anybody complains about the way I promote the event, they will be pushed in the water.

What happens if an attendee tries to do "Matt Foley - Motivational Speaker" impressions?

O.K. No weeds. Algae is O.K. Bruce, the easiest way not to go in the pond is to make sure you have a firm grip on the pusher. That is unless the pusher is already wet...... I grew up on the water and on water skiis, so I've seen it all!

Seriously, everyone within a nice drive should be at this thing. Bruce is an excellent host. His dock is a work of pond nerd art. You will definitively have a good time and you may even learn something in the process. Plus, THE Pond Boss will be there! Can't wait!
