No problem, but just so you know I do plan on stuffing my swimsuit full of fresh milfoil, coontail, and curly leaf pond weed fragments right before I arrive. I'll make sure to shake it all loose before I get out of the water. Did I mention that aquatic vegetation is some of the best "fish" habitat there is? You can thank me later.

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. Well, it is completely within the rules so long as I don't discuss what's stuffed inside my swimsuit. The waters going to chilly and I will need the extra insulation.

I burn vacation quick working 32 hour weekends. Does anybody know for sure if Pond Con 6 is going to be at Big Cedar. I hope it is. That's only 2 and 1/2 hour drive speeding for me. Now to bring up visiting the in laws subtlety and choose this date. What a coincidence a Pond Boss gathering will be going on so close that weekend. Who thinks it will work? I just map quest it and its 2:40 from in laws house. They live in Bendena KS. Strait shot from there. Last edited by Jwwann; 08/17/13 06:33 PM. If you ain't gonna fart, why eat the beans? .

Now the question is do I drive the VW or the Suburban with the fish tank? The net fits in either. $100 of diesel or $240 worth of diesel...... TJ, you got a boat on the pond? For the Fyke Net, you need one. What hotels are close?

Yes, have john row boat, canoe, and kayak. We also have Josh, so why worry about boats - we can enjoy beers clean and dry from the luxury of Nate Herman's dock whilst Josh anchors the fyke in 16' water. He can don cinder blocks to help him decend more efficiently. Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau

That would provide a better optic for when his feet get bound with cinder blocks.

I was supposed to have the day before esshup's gig off, that didn't happen. Then the following Monday, which almost worked, but had to go to a factory where everyone was freaking out because nooooo one paid attention to their training on how to operate a machine. Pretty simple, there is a Start button, and a Stop button. Pretty slick that they are color coded to boot That day got counted as a vacation day tho Supposed to have tomorrow and then the following week off, but that's not gonna happen either Last edited by JKB; 08/18/13 06:35 PM.
