Eric,

Thanks for posting that picture. It is a great picture reminding us how it is done!!

Now that I'm back from stocking Tilapia in the big pond, and the topias, I can see that those lures would sure come in handy about now trying to catch a few really big female LMB from our big pond to stock into Extratopia. So far Extratopia has about 25 of Todd's nicest Tilapia and about 25 really nice CNBG ranging from 4 inches to 7 1/2 inches getting ready for the spring spawns. If I can catch three Female LMB, I am going to try my hand at brooding them in Extratopia this year. It should be another thing to talk about later this month!!

Okay, with just under two weeks to go, here is what I know:

The attendees so far:

Me and my bride
Allen and His date (Subject to Robbie's approval)
George and His date (who's kidding who, Nicky is taking George)
Dave Davidson
Mobilus and possibly his wife
Zep
Cisco
Bushwacker
JimmyC
Snrub and his bride
Brandon

Come one, come all, but please let us know soon as it is time to start gathering the supplies.

I would like to encourage everyone to bring a favorite camping chair for around the area/while out fishing along the banks.

It should be a blast. I think I should have a few projects to demonstrate and it is always fun to sit around and chat with everyone!!

The gates open at Midnight, okay, they will already be open.....

The fun begins when anyone arrives and goes until the last person leaves, we have firewood for a campfire if needed!

I wish I could make this and finally get to meet some of you, including GEO. Too bad it's during flag football season for my boys. We're undefeated over the past four seasons and this is the last season I have them before they head to tackle in the Fall and they get real coaching, I guess.

With this being said, now you're obligated to make the East Texas get together Part 3 next year since you will be relieved of your coaching duties.

I sure hope it warms up in this part of the country before then. Plan "A" was to ride the motorcycle down to the get together. Was 26 degrees here last night. Our poor little corn plants are going to look sickly till some new shoots come up.

It may come down to plan "B" that involves the car if it doesn't warm up. grin

Sweet!

I'll have the executive suite ready. No reason for you to stay at some fleabag hotel. I probably need to dust, but a year away gives me plenty of time.

If I go 5 miles east I'm in Mo. Go 30 miles south it would be Ok.

Not a bad place to be.

My memory must be slipping, or I need to get down there more often. Is Sally's still around and open? (IIRC Sulphur Springs area) Or am I totally off base?

Thanks for the invite and I would love to attend - but I will be fly fishing for Tarpon in the Florida Keys!

Glad to hear the Rainman will be there!

One of the prettiest pictures at the last TX PondBoss
get-together (11/17/12) was a picture of Rex and his
lady in a canoe out on HighFlyer's incredible pond.

Mark,
That is a very nice picture of the place. The best part is that the place just keeps on getting nicer all the time.

I can't wait to have everyone back out there so it can be enjoyed.

Wow, that's a great shot. Paradise!

I'd have been tempted to launch a few bottle rockets over the bow of the SS Rex - but I'm incorrigible that way.
