Last year we had a great feast at weigh-in. Whos interested in an even better one this year? Once again, I'll furnish the meat and buns if people will bring dishes to pass.

I'm in if you remember the lighter fluid ::) ::)
Remember you don't quit fishing when you get old, you get old when you quit fishing

tjrock

sounds good to me. I'll bring a couple different salads again.

mikesmiph

LOL, I dont believe in putting petroleum on my food. It was wax cubes that I forgot. Someone else will remind me this year, I'm sure.

bassfan586

What do you want me to bring?
Got one!

djkimmel

Wax cubes? Sorry Mike. Didn't see you were already up and running.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
Unless clearly stated as such, opinions expressed by Dan Kimmel on this forum are not the opinions or policies of The Bass Federation of Michigan.

I could probably manage some cold drinks!!!

Right now, just tell me what you WANT to bring, its all needed. After we start getting a list, I'll know more what we still need and will ask.

Yes Dan. You put the charcoal in a chimney and light wax cubes under it. They light faster, and you arent burning the lighter fluid all over your meat. Believe it or not, it really does make the meat taste better.

Team houston

I will bring plenty of cold pop again this year.

Durand Dan

I'm going to wait till it's closer to the date so I can verify my schedule. I don't want to promise something and have to work. I still have all the plastic utensils from last year when I couldn't make it! ;D

I'll bring a coleslaw and a drink to tip for Wags!
