Thread: 2014 Pier Picnic - April 26, 2014

K Thanks fin! Will plan on not missing it next year...Unless Mother Nature decides to intervene.

Do you hold it at the Octi or the pier house up front?

Coincidentally, my dad, brother, and I are driving down from Memphis to fish from the pier that weekend. As the time gets closer, I'll check back on this thread and see if there's something we can cram onto our gear to bring that's missing.

Any suggestions on stuff you think we need - fire away.

We have the picnic on the Octi, weather permitting.
No one has signed up for tatersalad yet!

Ideas for those asking what they can bring.

Remember no cooking/grilling on the pier.
There are a limited number of electrical outlets, so crockpots are an option... Someone bring a power strip to make the most of those few outlets.

More buns for John G's BBQ, make for some filling BBQ sammiches.
Hams, a couple of large hams go a long way.
Hotdogs-n-buns for the kids... Ketchup/Mustard
Potato chips
Potato salad
Coleslaw
Jambalaya
Beans-n-rice
Casseroles
Fruit or Veggie trays
Bread/Dinner rolls-n-butter
Desserts
Sweet Tea
Sodas
Water
Ice-n-Cups
