A.O. Gathering

flygirrl · #1 08-23-2009, 05:52 PM

A.O. Gathering West of Caroline was a big success. All those who showed up had a blast. Hats off to Steve ( Sundalius ) for all the organization of the gathering, signs ect and making each and everyone

welcome. Jeff ( jst1) made up very professional books

for all who attended on the fishing in and around Caroline and some great info on the West country. Thanks Michelle for the banana boats, I know I had a blast and havent laughed that much for a long time. Some fishing was done and a few were caught but the friendships will last forever. Hopefully we will have the opratunity to do this again. Oh Tonyflyfish, say hi to Abby for me...

And Wayne YOU SNORE BADDDDDDDDDDD................

WayneChristie · #2 08-23-2009, 06:15 PM

The hangovers will fade but the friendships will last forever, it was another great weekend! Mud bog and all. Thanks everyone for all your hard work and for showing up and sharing another awesome weekend!

Geezle · #3 08-23-2009, 06:37 PM

Glad to hear you guys had a good time! Hopefully I'll be able to make it to one of these outings one of these days!

calgarygringo · #4 08-23-2009, 07:00 PM

Yes another success. Lots of fun, campfire stories and laugh, food to die for and fishing too. Thanks to everyone that helped out to make the party another success. Even my dog met a new friend and is looking for Abby since we got home. Can't wait for the next one....

hats off to Steve and everyone that had a hand in getting every one together. had a BLAST meeting everyone and sitting around the campfire. lots of fun, good food, and great people even if your from Calgary LOL. hope i get a invite to the next one. thanks to Steve and his homemade bait i caught 2 trout (which brings the grand total to 9) and had dozens of bites. had a absolute blast. wish we could get the Edmonton people together like that.

Sandalius · #6 08-23-2009, 09:37 PM

Well I would like to thank everybody for coming to our little gathering in the bush. We had another awesome time. Met some more great people ( even if some were from Edmonpuke and surrounding areas ...lol ) We ate some great food, had quite a few good laughs ( some even at my expence ) and seen some hilarious events over the weekend.
I don't wanna take all the credit for getting everybody together ( just most of it ...lol

), it does take some organizing and help. BUT - it's the awesome people that show up who make these things a success, everybody does there own little things to contribute and help out and that's what it's all about.
Spending time together building friendships, sharing stories and experiences.
( Holy Crap was that mussy - sounds like something JTS1 would say...lol )
It is true though it's all about the people

So for everybody that didn't make it to the gathering this time for one reason or another - SORRY but you missed out on a good time

WayneChristie · #7 08-23-2009, 09:52 PM

a few I took this weekend. JTS1 has the blackmail pics. cant wait to see them too!!!

What a great gathering of like minded people and it's good to see that people from Edmonton and Calgary can co-exist, although we really needed a mud wrestling showdown finale. And you don't snore that badly Wayne, I have honestly heard worse from one of my friends, we almost had to stick him in a different house not to hear him

I don't know if I can ever have a better day than Elk Creek thanks to Kathy, you really should have left me out there stranded, I would have died very happy! Had an awesome time on Tony's boat, all my week's worth of stress melted away floating on that peaceful lake, I'll help you again anytime/place with that boat

.

Thanks to everyone to donated their time to do their part in the gathering success, just too many to name.

BigRackLover · #10 08-23-2009, 11:15 PM

Sounds like a great time had by all - way to go on organizing.

bushman53 · #11 08-24-2009, 05:31 AM

Had a great time at the gathering, met some great people, ate way to much awesome food and fell in love, with banana boats. Thanks Steve and everyone who helped organize a great time, wish I could have been there the whole time. Can't wait to get out fishing with some great new friends and hope the next gathering isn't to far away

nicemustang · #14 08-24-2009, 09:29 AM

Sounds like you guys had a good time. How was the weather? Did you get hit by that storm Friday night?

I hope to see some pics of fish caught though...too much drinking and not enough fishin?

calgarygringo · #15 08-24-2009, 10:32 AM

Yes we got hammered by the storm. One of the heaviest rains I have seen in a long time. Awning on the trailer where we sat kept us pretty dry until the wind started blowing it on us sideways then moved in. Me being the tarp man had a huge tarp in the truck and some of the others were putting it up as it came down. There were a few soggy bodies but I guess we could have put it up a bit earlier if we would have known. It only put a small damper on the party. When it was over got the fire blazing and all was forgotten. Only mine and Tony's labs thought all the extra mud/water to roll in was more fun.

Great pics. Especially when things are at work......

The Fisherman Guy · #18 08-24-2009, 11:21 AM

Wow. Great pics, I am sorry I missed out! I am 0/2 on the banana boats!

BBJ: I don't think you can give me hell for not wearing a shirt in some of my photo's now. I can see you earned your sewing badge... are those rinestones????

Looks like a helluva trip! I will be at the next one for sure!

flygirrl · #19 08-24-2009, 01:43 PM

Im not sure which was the highlight of the weekend, the banana boats , Wayne playing in the mud, bbj and his unmentionable's with rinestones, Jet and Abby being Jet and Abby, Steve being Molly Maid, Tony looking for Yogi, Will trying to get lost at Elk creek. I think they are all special moments.

flygirrl · #20 08-24-2009, 01:45 PM

Almost forgot 'THE SPY" bushman53, James who watched and hardley said a word. We were sure he was a spy for another forum and wanted us to join them. LOL LOL LOL

tbosch · #21 08-24-2009, 01:46 PM

Looks like I missed out on an awesome weekend. I ended up stuck in edmonton until sunday afternoon unfortunately. How was elk creek fishing? That creek has a special place in my heart.

I didnt have to much luck but I was really just the guide, If you ask Will he thought he died and went to Bull trout heaven.

Haha yeah elk's getting to be that way. Did you get in to any brown's at all? There's getting to be some doozeys in there.

Sundancefisher · #24 08-24-2009, 01:56 PM

So did Slingshotz share the perch or eat them all for himself?

No he shared, we used Steve's fish bonker on him

No, No browns, just Bull, We should have spent more time there and really fished the river. the beavers have it damned up and I would imagine if you hit the time right you would catch some great fish.

You missed one highly memorable moment - the looks on everybody's faces early Saturday morning - " over by the fire pit " now that was priceless, but I will let somebody else share that story and maybe some pics too ...lol

I'm pretty sure that I said Suzy homemaker - Remember that Tony had the
" thing " with Molly Maid and the girl guides ...lol

Nice pics by the way - I really like the ones where some of us were doing all the work and you and Wayne were taking all the pics. Hmmmm
I'm too can't wait for Jeffs black mail picks to come out ...lol

I'm not being picky but they were Jeffs fireworks ( not that it matters much they were still pretty entertaining out in the bush )

OK John, I will try to keep it on the down low ( " flat on your back pancake low " or how about " face down dirt level low " ...lol )

Don't be pickin in James to much - I recall there was some times where you weren't saying too much either

And as for that pic of " me eyeing you up like a fat kid on a smartie " - I was looking and hoping that one of those shiny things wasn't going to pop off your camo thong and hit me in the face or worse something else under that thong knocking me into the fire

Don't worry about it, we all have our moments buddy - when Jeff puts up the pics - everyone will be able to see one of yours
