Forum First Anniversary

[FinChaser]

[font=comic sans ms][size=12pt]Good question Tbear, I was wondering the same thing.
Is it just gonna be me and Tony :fishing: ?

[Fishindave42]

Count me in, sounds like fun!

[Jbearden]

I'm in!!!! Fin, is there a list of things to bring?

[FinChaser]

[font=comic sans ms][size=12pt]This is not going to be an all out food fest like the Annual Pier Picnic.
This is more like an informal Meet and Greet with Fishing, Food and Friends. Hopefully folks will bring some goodies to share, but the main focus is getting together and actually talking and getting to know each other.
The Old Farts vs Young Guns Shootout is for bragging rights until next year’s rematch and names of participants, both winners and losers will be listed on the forum for all to see. Hopefully someone will bring a camera and get a few pictures of the day.
There will be name tags for forum members to wear so we can put faces with names.

[size=14pt]Update 10-4-2012[/size] - Plans don’t always work as planned. Tofer has moved to Utah and I know that Pier#r can’t be there. I will try to be there, but looking iffy, and I am not sure about John G and Bubba. However the forum belongs

Although there haven’t been a lot of people say they are coming down, I have asked Bigdee/Dee, Tbear/Tony and AUinOveralls/Daniel, to ask forum members to wear a sticker with their forum name and real name so people can know who is on the forum. And also get a list of the members who show up, and commandeer one of the picnic tables on the Octi for any food items that folks may bring.

If there is interest in the Old Farts vs Young Guns Shootout, here is what I suggest to do.
Need a minimum of 10 forum member participants on each team to do the shootout and shootout starts when there are 10 or more members have signed up on both teams. Get a list of all OFs and YGs by forum name. (if someone who is not a forum member wants to play, just use their real name.)
Since there is no tangible prize, people can sign up and participate until the shootout ends at 2PM. If there aren’t enough forum members signed up by 10AM, the Shootout is canced.
• Old Farts are 40 years old and up
• Young Guns are 39 years old or younger
• Make sure someone has a scale and use same scale to weigh all the fish.
Rules:
• Team with highest aggregate weight of three King is the winner of Bragging Rights for the year.
• Weighing of fish will be witnessed by a member of both teams
• Only legal King will be eligible for weigh in. Two fish per angler.

Or wing it!

Just a Heads Up for everybody that doesnt have a Facebook account or isnt a member of Pierkingfishing page. A group of South and North Carolina pier fishermen are making a trip down here that weekend. They have a completely different style of king fishing up there so let's do our best to help them as much as possible and make them feel at home. It's gonna be a good weekend to be on the pier. Let's hope the fish cooperate.

they will be shocked with all the spin fishers being used to king fish....they told me...... kings couldn't be caught with spinning gear.....they used those for the anchor trolly rods..... when I was there

[hossfly]

We will be down that Saturday, looking forward to meeting everyone..

[the original pier pest]

I will be there either way. As far as the tournament goes, I am in.

Wish I could be there. Thought about coming out before work, but I am going to take a second look at a house in the morning time. Ready to start the process, just need to have my dad look.it.over.
