Is there a forest fire on the horizon? I think a property owner down the road a ways had a burn pile. Looks like a beautiful day! We got lucky with outstanding weather.

One could not ask for a better day for a get together. I learned from Mr. Lusk and Mr. Otto on how to check on used dirt moving equipment prior to purchase. Discussed equipment rental verses purchase. And Brian let me have some American pondweed out of his pond for replanting at my place. George Glazner (I hope I spelled this correctly) had made up some fly's and his wife was so kind to pass one along to me. A lot of good things, and good people were at Highflyers place. I am glad I was able to make it. Oh! and Eric West continued his denial of no relation between we two West's  Thank you Brian for the get together. I had a great time with good people. TGW you can be part of my West family and vice versa -- deal ?

I was very impressed with his lake/pond. It was teaming with life.....lots of structure, vegetation, minnows and baby fish visible everywhere. All seven of the bass I caught were healthy and had great color. I see now I have a lot of work to do on my pond.

You may not recall but u passed along some crawfish information to me a while back, and so I was glad to meet you. And Brian was kind enough to wade into the lake and gather up some Pondweed for me to bring home. Following his recommendations, I will wash the plants today and place them in my pond.

I have got to get down to Texas. I need to see the land where a gracious host wades out to retrieve pondweed for a friend, and the friend actually intends to introduce it into his own pond....on purpose no less! Couple that with the notion that the bluegills will spawn 19 times a summer, and STILL there's not enough forage! Mind blowing I say.
Seriously though, looks like a great time was had by all. Well done!
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

+1 Wish I could have been there. Looks like a great time! If you guys have them, please post more pics, identifying attendees. Sparkie, Hate to correct you but I believe BG spawn 21 times as a minimum per Texas summer with average hatchling length of 4 inches (everything's bigger in Texas  !)

Brian thanks for hosting, wish I could have made it. Beautiful lake you're doing great work.

Does anyone have any pics of Al/FIH taking a midnight boat ride??
They don't call him "Dreamboat Annie" for nothing.

Brian, Thanks for hosting the get together this past weekend. Very nice place. I hope to have my setup half as nice in the next couple of yrs. It was also nice to meet everyone and what a great group of people. Guess I should stuck around a little longer for the American pond weed hand outs.

They don't call him "Dreamboat Annie" for nothing. As we've discussed, vampires, werewolves, and ne'er-do-wells are all that come out after dark.

Brian and Heather,
Thank you so much for hosting the East Texas Get Together. I could not have imagined how nice your place looks, the work that went into it and the hospitality you shown for all that attended. The food was great and you could not have asked for better weather.
I wanted to attend so I could finally put a face to a name and everyone was gracious. In my mind I try to picture folk when I am reading the forum and to see them in person made a difference. It was really great to be able to talk in person to Brian, Bob, Zep, Mike Otto and the rest of you.
