FishingTN Summer Gathering 2013
 

On Saturday June 29th we will have the Fishing TN Gathering, at Sanders Ferry Park, shelter #6 in Hendersonville starting at 10/10:30am, and lasting until everyone is sick and tired of everyone else's lies, errr uh I mean fishing stories.

This is just going to be a get together of like-minded people who have the same interests of fishing, fellowship, and fishy stories, even if you don’t fish and would like to meet some people and ask questions come on out, but sorry for the disappointment guys no tournament this year. The only requirement is just to be a member of the Fishing TN family, you don’t even have to contribute, just have a registered username, children, and partners of members need not apply. You don’t even have to agree with members who think drum are a game fish, or don’t believe in catch and release.
I need volunteers for food, drinks, and food preparation. This will be an all-day event from around 1100am-whenever. If you would like to bring games like horse shoes, corn hole, or washers feel free to, but neither FishingTN, nor any of its affiliates will be responsible for any injuries you may incur, so please stretch properly. This will be a family friendly gathering and all of the Fishing TN community is welcome no matter your age, race, gender, or fishing style.
Still needing an attendance list.
An attendance list will be the second post of this thread, and will be updated with who is bringing what. If you would like to bring something post it up, I don’t expect everyone to bring enough of one thing to supply 30 people unless you are bringing cups, paper plates, plastic ware, or something that is fairly inexpensive like that, I don’t expect anyone to bring 30 Prime Ribs though it would be nice.
Date June 29th
Location Sanders Ferry Park Shelter #6
Attendee/What you are bringing

Knot Right (Filled out Registration, but not yet approved) May bring goodies for members) Sorry guys really backed up on checking the 500 spammers today ... But ... Knot Right has been approved .... ;) <'TK><

Remember you don't have to bring enough of one thing to feed everyone, and any help is greatly appreciated.

Attendee's List and Items that will be brought. This will be edited as changes are made.

Jeremy if they want to do fish I have 100 crappie filets I will give. Plus I can bring some other stuff that will be needed. Just let me know....willing to help anyway I can.


Regards

How about Sanders ferry park they have a huge pavilions on the water playground plenty of parking grill etc

Sounds like a good option. I'm not a resident so shelter rental would be $55 for the day, it's $40 for resident.

Reservations need to be made as soon as possible, if it will be held here.

New Helper ...<'TK><
 

I'm in. I'll have my fishing kayak within a few weeks and can't wait to meet some fellow 'yakers.

I'll contribute something, just let me know what's needed. Also, sign me up for some of those crappie fillets please :D

I will try and make it and can help as needed. Is there a solid date for the event yet?

Thanks guys and gals.

No date has been set but I did delete July 6th due to Holiday weekend and many may be traveling so it's between June 29th and July 13th

No location has been set, but Sanders Ferry Park was suggested, but I'm not a resident.

Jeremy

Contact gboyce, he is a Hendersonville resident.

Origional post updated and date set June 29th.
Looking for a location, if you want to assist in helping with a location that would be grateful. A recommendation of Sanders Ferry Park in Hendersonville was made. If there is interest in this please assist in making reservations, but before making reservations please contact me, or lets get a yea, or nay from others. This needs to be a resident of the area.

Jeremy

I can make that. I don't care about location. I will take photos and bring something. I can bring condiments and something else.

Looking forward to the gathering. Willing to help any way I can.

You just want to fish the dam before the gathering! Need a partner? Haha

Let me know the Date and if Saunderville Park is where you want to do this for sure and I can look into it since I am a Hendersonville resident

PM sent to gboyce. If Saundersville Park is all booked up for that day then I'll try for the park at the Old Hickory Dam on the lake side. I hope to have something secured by Monday.

Jeremy

Bump for updates.

2013 Gathering !!
 

Still needing Volunteers (food, beverages, etc.)

We have Shelter #6 for the entire day at Sanders Ferry Park in Hendersonville.

Can a Moderator pin this as a sticky, atleast until this is over, so it can get as much exposure as possible?

Jeremy

Jeremy, this will be stuck until further notice .... <'TK><:)

I called the office earlier and reserved a spot but payment has to be made by 5pm today in person. Doesn't look like I'll make it. Stuck in traffic. If I don't make it today then after we get back from vacation I'll do it. I'm still trying .

I'm coming. I'll bring a bunch of cookies again. It was a good time last year.

Made it with 13 minutes to spare. We have the pavilion reserved. Needing more people to RSVP, and offer to bring items.

I Will be there. Let me know what you need. If there is fish fry still have the 100 crappie filets.



Regards

Sounds like it will be fun times guys. I will be casting into the surf then on Orange Beach.

I fish out that park a lot and by mid-summer for you boat guys that are bringing it may be beneficial to call the Hendersonville Parks asking them the clean the courtesy docks. Some summers they tend to "forget" leaving the docks covered end to end in goose crap. I know that is minimal to the gathering but at least it may save a carpet cleaning.

If anyone wants to know some close by places to fish for yaks from there just give me a shout. Be for warned that you may have company if others ask as well but I don't mind.

I'm not going to task anyone with bringing anything, at least not at this point. Just pick something from the list and put your name down and I'll update the list. Heck you don't even have to choose from the list just put your name down with what you would like to bring and I'll put you down.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Jeremy

Payment ? ... <'TK><
 

Cooking !! <'TK><
 

Looking forward to it!

I can bring the hamburger meat as well. Just let me know as time gets closer how many pounds we might need.



Regards

I plan on coming and will bring fish cooker if needed and what ever else is needed so as we get closer I will check and see what is needed.

Head count is up to fourteen. Everyone check over the list to make sure your name is on there, or if it's on there and not supposed to be please let me know so I can remove it.

If you plan on bringing something please post up. I think we have plenty of fish volunteers, but sides, snacks, beverages, ice, buns, other meats, condiments, and plastic ware is still needed.

Thanks, Jeremy
