I'll be there! I need to send in my registration too! Bill Cody and I will be flying down. Looking forward to it.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Driving this time - to much stuff to fly. Eastland there may be a surprise for you !  I have no say in George's fly tying. He will be the Texan holding the flies. But if the Lady G's $Gills are on the line I can create a distraction - then its every man for himself.  CB1 and Bill there will be a chair for you at the booth so you can rest your wings - oh I mean arms , and legs/feet also. You guys should know by now that Guvner Davidson is doing the important stuff like - food and drink and logistics. If it weren't for Guv and Kathy the convention would still be just a thought in Bob's mind.

Just a thought for name tags...we should have the Pond Boss ID on one side, and the real name on the other

You mean our Pond Boss names aren't our real names?

Theo, I have noticed that most of the Pro's use their real names while others like me need an alias to hide behind. Did I tell you about the 30 foot blocking net I used last year to hold Tilapia...I successfully choked 1/2 to death with moss, the other 1/2 beached when water levels fell rapidly in August...I need an alias ! p.s. Would a Mother actually name her Son "FattyMcButterpants"

No, that sounds like more of a Father sort of thing. I argued with my Wife to name both our Son and Daughter "FMcB". Looking back, it's probably one argument it was wise to let her win (twice).

Gail & I talked about heading to Texas (our favorite state south of Minnesota) for the Pond Boss Convention. She goes under the surgeon’s scalpel tomorrow for the second time in 34 days. Maybe next time….

ditto what ewest said, Dwight.
ewest, is the First Annual Lusk Roast on the schedule of events?

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.

Thanks for the good news update, Dwight. Maybe if you can't make the convention, we'll have to try for some sort of northern mini-convention.

Dave Willis - Northern Convention, awesome possibilities! Scenario: Have it in Lincoln, NE. Take over the local Motel Six for a weekend. Cover the emptied pool with a 1” thick sheet of Plexiglas with a bunch of 8” holes in it. Line the perimeter of the pool with coolers full of ice and beer, etc. Invite all PB persons to experience ice fishing at its finest! When the pool is full of empties we head to Bruce Condello’ place for breakfast and merriment!

Sunil : Like old sergeant Klink -- I know nothing. We have some moderator booth plans including a slide show. You should ask Guvner Davidson about B'BQed Lusk as he is in charge of the food.

Dwight, I think there has been a little talk of a Lincoln gathering. Bruce, is it too soon to talk about that? Whoops.

I'm not really in charge of the food. We have to deal with the convention center for that. We're stuck and the menu is done.
I'm trying to figure out a BBQ or Mexican food deal after the show ends.
Trying to figure out some other extracurriculars also. The big attraction is going to be the speakers. I'm not at liberty to say anything yet about keynote speaker(s) because Lusk is handling that stuff.
Roast Lusk? YUCK!!! He would probably taste like chara smells.
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.

The best time would probably be April. That way we could seine during the meeting. I've got a bluegill pond that needs cleaned out and it may have some biggies.

Dave, we could get a LOT of laughs if we did an extracurricular show of Before & After Drought! Misery loves company ! I can see it now, docks on the prairie, jon boats in fields, etc... I would be interested in BBQ/Mexican...I understand your dilemma, choosing is a struggle my friend
