AO Gathering - Caroline

[Sandalius]

With the gathering being just over a week away it might be a good idea to get a better idea of who's actually coming. Now I will be going out there early ( probably Thurs ) to get some things set up and to get a bunch of wood together ...ect. Now if we do get quite a few people coming out we might have to change the location to a larger area as this one is pretty narrow( but it's not a problem - there are a few bigger spots just a few kms farther down the road ), we will have to get a better tally of who's actually coming. If we do change the location you will be notified accordingly and we will post some extra signs on the road to the spot. As it stands we have 10ish people confirmed and about 11 or so unsure on attendance. So please post or PM if your are going to make it out.


Here is a list of people who said they were coming

There has been quite a bit of interest in this gathering and I'm happy to see so many people wanting to get together and share experiences with one and other. However as some of the recent happenings on the board and some of the comments and PM's I've received ( here are some samples - I'm an " azzhole " and " the bad apple ", " every post you put up wastes everybody's time ", but the best one is " people like you ruin sites like this for every one else " ) makes me wonder why I bother doing all this work to bring people together to share info and stories. I have met some first class people on here and I hope to meet more, unfortunately I cannot see this happening cause I'm pretty sure that after this gathering I will be done with this site. ( though it's not confirmed just yet ) The comments didn't hurt my feeling ( notice singular not plural )( and some might even be true ) I'm just sick and tired of all the Bull Sh!t that goes on here !!


So please - lets keep this thread on discussions about attendance, food, who's bringing what - things of that nature ----- save the rest for the gathering.

[ACM]

I was not going to get to the gathering but am going to see if I can swing it and will PM you.
I thank you for all teh work you do and its greatly appreciated!!! Many many thanks
Ignore the *******es etc as they will always surface from time to time because you can hide behind a computer if thats their desire.
Hope to see youthere
Chuck

[WayneChristie]

X2 ignore the dicks, its unfortunate that just any clown who can type, and some who cant even do that very well, can get into a good forum like this one and try to ruin things for the good people. I will be there, should have some corn ready by then too so I will bring some of that along. I will leave early Thursday so should be there by noon or ish. I have a screen house I will bring so we can cover a table if someone has one in case it rains. Hopefully the squirrels arent like the gophers at PCR and eat holes in it too . :lol:

[Sandalius]

Just a reminder the dates are !!!!! AUG 21, 22, 23 !!!!

[tonyflyfish]

Well I am going to be there for sure-as Steve and JTS know I don't like being late so will hopefully get up there Tues or Wed. I will park the trailer where I am told and will do my best to behave. If I am one of the ones messing this board up I will listen to one of the respected members (like Mr dominat wolf Steve). I sometimes get funny on here and maybe that is irriatting some. Some of the others are just a pain in my derrier.

I don't have much to offer the group but do have a 3 burner chief chef thingy and will haul the jon boat and a pontoon boat. Anyone is welcome to share this.

I am excited to meet some more of the crew.
Tony in Edm

[tonyflyfish]

oops

[tonyflyfish]

I forget that I do have one thing to share-I am a non drinker but have a 40 oz Bailey's for your coffees.

[calgarygringo]

Since we are getting close and I believe we talked of maybe another pot luck dinner how about those who are coming put in some ideas for food. Just so everyone doesn't bring the same things. My wife is my food person and would like to get going on her menu. We will be leaving after breakfast Thursday so should be there by late morning. Just bringing the trailer this time and maybe do some stream fishin so the wife can ride shotgun.
I will have my 4k genny with me if anyone needs power to cook or anything special as well as the 3 burner campchef. I see Tony has as well. Let's try to figure it out as the last time was an awesme dinner. How about any other ideas. Last time a couple of us did filet fish demos. Any other informative ideas would be great.
P.S. to Steve: Awesome job last time and was well appreciated. My dogs probably don't know where they came frome but their moose sicles are a favorite treat right now.....

Ken

[tonyflyfish]

I also have a Honda 3000 somthing or other that anyone can hook up to. I would like to participate in the pot luck. I will bring anything I am told or can offer to do somthing. Should someone coordinate this? Steve is doing a lot already, I nominate Ken-all in favor say "I".

[WayneChristie]

like I mentioned, I can bring corn, and salad greens for sure. and some more "better than Hutterite" spuds too.

[calgarygringo]

How about send me a pm and I will try to keep and updated list in one spot on the board so we know what we have. I will just edit the list to try to keep it up to date. I will be away camping in Bragg creek area from tomorrow morning until friday afternoon but can update before and after.

[baitfisher83]

guess i'm not part of even the maybe pile :P guess you're hoping to keep your trailers safe

[Sandalius]

guess i'm not part of even the maybe pile :P guess you're hoping to keep your trailers safe

Well actually I did forget to write your name down , however I knew if you made it out - you would be bunking with Michelle and wouldn't have an extra vehicle there.

[baitfisher83]

does Michelle know this???lol

[calgarygringo]

So are you coming or still on the maybe pile as I saw a few days back????

[Sandalius]

OK to keep things simple - everything that's food related go to calgarygringo's
page ( here's the link )

http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/showthread.php?t=38954

For everthing else such as attendance, who's bringing what ....ect - post it here or PM me

[Sandalius]

does Michelle know this???lol

She is your friend - didn't you ask her ???

[flygirrl]

Will be there with camper on truck prob thur also.

[baitfisher83]

i wont find out until tomorrow if i can go or not...Michelle knows i want to but i'm not sure she wants another dent in her trailer...dont know where i put the first one...

[Jack&7]

Well, I wish I could attend but I have other stuff scheduled. If it turns out anything like the one at PCR, it will be a great time....guaranteed. I was going to say please keep me in mind for the next one, but after reading what has been going on, it sounds like there may not be a "next one". I really hope that isn't the case because I was really looking forward to a one-day ice fishing get-together somewhere this winter.

It baffles me why someone would want to trash somebody else for taking the lead and arranging such an excellent gathering. So I guess to those of you that are doing the whining and complaining, I say, "STAY HOME!" The people I met at the PCR gathering were excellent and I would fish with them anywhere...anytime.

So to those that are going to Caroline...have a great time and best of luck with the weather and the fishing!

[Rollie]

Unfortunatly you can wipe my name off the list, seems I have to wk. Too bad as I was really looking forward to it.

[herb]

Hi all I am learning about stream fishing with an open faced spinning rod in the Caroline area and plan on fishing hard August 20-22. My wife and I might be interested in joining you guys, but I don't fly fish. Is that kind of fishing frowned upon.

:wave:This group is all about FRIENDSHIP and learning new and different ways of fishing.
I both flyfish and baitfish and Im not a snob when I do either. I treat everyone the same, with respect, when Im doing either. There will be a lot of people there that spinfish and some that will flyfish. Your more than welcome but let Sundalus know you are going if your bringing a camper. This gathering will be a lot of fun:lol:. Just be careful of the spinning wayne, especialy after dark:lol::lol::lol:

[flygirrl]

To all whom may comment on the BAITFISH line, dont bother, Im from N.B. what can I sayLOLOLOL. Spinfish

[tonyflyfish]

i am a snob! i sometime spin fish somtimes bait fish and sometimes just join the group for friendship and bull ****. actually watching my flyfish is a comdey show so please come along and enjoy.

[MrDave]

Certainly looking forward to this. I have to work Friday and plan on making it Saturday in A.M.. I will need a medium sized site.

As for the idiots who knock people down on here, they should come to this gathering and see what we are about. I, too, have came close to deleting myself from here. But I keep coming back.?

[herb]

Thank you Wayne, Flygirl and Tony. I'm not sure how long I can stick around after my fishing trip as my wife may not be able to get Thurs and Fri off. I would like to meet up with someone knowledgeable about stream fishing the Caroline area Thursday afternoon to share a favorite fishing spot(I have a doosy) and fish with that evening or EARLY Friday morning, or both. Maybe we could head to the get together afterwards and contribute our catch to the evening meal before I head back to Edmonton. Please PM me if you are interested.

[WayneChristie]

Herb Im always up for some stream fishing, I will be there around noon Thursday. Picked up a pack of Panther Martins, probably give them a go, I seem to catch a few on those, and maybe use my favorite whitefish weapon as well.

[baitfisher83]

I will be going if i can find a way there friday after work....or saturday but friday night is the earliest i can go...

[WayneChristie]

OK, for those of you who are members of this forum, whether fishing, hunting, trapping, or just bored and like to read all the posts: If you are sitting on the fence about coming to this gathering, and you dont have to be just fishing people, we would like to extend a welcome to everyone. Come to the gathering, and meet some friends. We might not be friends before we meet, but we will be afterwards, there are a lot of great people in this forum, and we are all well worth meeting. We throw a mean potluck, and have a great time. We pick on some of us, but we are adults, and thats part of the fun of it, we can laugh at each other, and at ourselves too. Thats what makes life interesting!!!!

[jts1]

Good food, good people, good times. Looks like we have a good turn out thus far. Even if you are not looking to stay a night or two out there Come on up for the day. We will have young and good looking "me" :wave: Old and....well old. Trucker mouths , dock dwellers , Fly fishers , spin fishers. tall short fat and jolly. Every1 is more that welcome out there. I have done a few of these now and they just keep getting better and better. Its not to far from us south guys , and close so you northern fellas can come out as well and learn a thing or two..:evilgrin: There will be something for everyone up there. I hope to see you all. Anything I can do for any of you just send me a PM more than happy to help.

[WayneChristie]

[WayneChristie]

while weeding the cornpatch, decided I was kinda hungry so I pulled off a couple ears. (corn not mine) and threw them on the bbq in the husks. That was soooooo good I felt like I should be lighting up a cigarette afterwards, they should be even better by the weekend. Wine, corn and spuds, oh yah.

[WayneChristie]

what time Wednesday? As long as we know by later in the evening, I want to head out real early Thursday, and I can get lost easy :D

[flygirrl]

Roads good for van, hell the road is better than some paved highways, and wayne if you meet me at the Clearwater Store you cant get lost assuming after the knock on the head you can find the store lol, you'll be with me and many have tried to lose me but I stick like a wet t shirt LOL

[calgarygringo]

Maybe especially for some of us leaving Thursday morn early a cell number would be great just in case. If Jeff is tagging along I have his but not yours, assuming we have service back there. I know when we bush camp in back behind Burntstick we have to be in certain spots before we can get service.

Thanks
Ken

Hey BBJ! I think that is the flames team bus-look at the color and the signage-we better not mock it-is that the Sutter family flag on the back?

[Sandalius]

That's awesome thanks Albertadiver

all 4 tires are the same-can't be a Calgary van.

How can you tell all the tires are the same ???
I only see two - pretty sure this was a referance to an Edmonpuke van

Hey Tony weren't you looking for new tires ?? ( all 4 matching )

[flygirrl]

Dear Ms Flygirl! You were not supposed to see the coached by a woman part. Why do you have to have such astute eyesight? Couldn't you have ignored the comment?

:evilgrin:I just happened to have my gl***** on:lol:

[WayneChristie]

still seeing stars and cant turn my head, but still looking forward to the gathering. Hmmmm that makes me think of a bunch of weirdos in long black hooded capes crowded around a fire chanting , wait that was the last gathering! :lol:

[jts1]

Wife has some signs made up for you Steve. Should be no probs finding the campsite. You can pick them up my house on your way past or at her work today.

[jts1]

Great info for gathering. Thank you to Jody for your post.

I hate to say it folks, but I am unfortunately,out. Which sucks, I really REALLY wanted to:

a)Outshine my previously acquired screaming nickname.
b)Do some cooking, for real this time.
c)Film Baitfisher crashes, and rise to Youtube stardom.
d)Drink Waynes wine until I can see through time.

But as it stands, apparently I have spent too much time in the sticks, and the girlie has put an end to my camping this weekend.

Wish I could be there for what is certainly going to be a gooder!! Take plenty of pics, and I am not alone, in hopes to hear some good stories!!!

Have fun folks, try to keep the Battle of Alberta feuds until the next morning when you have all consumed "too much medicine to care anymore". :evilgrin:


HOW COULD THEY GIT RID OF BERT??????!?!?!?!

[JohninAB]

So I am sort of contemplating showing up for a day but need to know, any lakes close to this area one can dump a 16 foot side console fishing boat in to? Cow Lake, Burntstick?

OK I am all packed and ready to go-have a meeting in Stony Plain at 9 and then heading to the site. Steve has me reporting to him as to which site we will be at. I will phone Steve who will post here. The options are all real close by so finding the place won't be an issue.

See you all Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
