Kotc gathering

[DTro]

We did teams the first year of the KOTC and while it was fun, there were some issues with that format that led to the change. I would participate in another team venture, but as far as the KOTC goes, the format will not be changing.

I know the KOTC isn’t nearly as “fun” as the Walleye tour, but I think a lot of us have had a pretty good time with it. Even those of us struggling to compete

[Lowblazah]

I personally think the KOTC is alot of fun with the individual format. I didnt like getting grouped up with guys who werent even fishing, much less checking in weekly. Now if we could pick our own teams...that would be worth entertaining!

[HossFisher]

If the team format was put into place maybe it would have be a draft much like fantasy football. Who would be number one overall?????

My guess would be the guys with the riverpro's would be very close to the top!

So the last few posts have me thinking we need to have a Gathering again. And if I show up, someone better bring me a turtle, eh?

So... when is it?

If you show up I will give you a ride to the sandbar for throwing that turtle in your boat the first year.

[DTro]

I sent an email to those in kotc regarding a gathering. If you didn't get it please shoot me an email for details

[rushing]

If you show up I will give you a ride to the sandbar for throwing that turtle in your boat the first year.

hahah no mention of a ride back.

[HossFisher]

I would be interested in coming to this get together also even though im not in KOTC. Would be great to put a face with some of the names if it's before I leave for school.

[Shack]

Even those of us struggling to compete whistle

OK, I do not think Hanson is even in the KOTC this year, Slowhand has to be doing well (at least in the flats), so the only one left is me

I am just picky about when I turn in Figure I would save ya the extra work

No, my "But?????" was pointing at how the individual format is the best, but the team format did give more drive to get out as to not let others down. But their seems to be a fair share of people changing points left and right, which means the action is nice.

Now 'compete'? I thought the KOTC was just for fun

Speaking of fun, a GT would be fun.

[hanson]

Ya, your right Shack. No KOTC this year for me. Honestly, not much catfishing for me either, although the couple times I've been out have been pretty productive. Good bang for the buck opportunities.

Actually getting out on P4 Sunday night with a certain guide. I really don't care if we catch fish either, Brian and I have some catching up to do.

I should be back in the swing of things next summer. Economy should be better, way more confidant in my job stability, and I've got most of the work done on my house that I wanted to get done. You should see my garden! Boat will be running or replaced as well. We'll be good to go!

Ice fishing this winter may have to take a back seat again though. We'll see, I think the sleeper shack on URL is calling my name.

Now if my stock purchase takes off like it should, look out baby! Doubled already and up 25% in the last 2-3 days.

[Grant]

as Shack mentioned about bringing "big wood"... I've located another supply, and will need assistance hauling from Bloomington.

my Outback my be a scrappy little tow vehicle, but it just can't stand up to what the Dakota did..... if you can help please let me know at gpbakken at gmail dot com and I'll get the particulars to you- expect loadup Saturday sometime between 8 and noon.

thanks!

For those of you that plan on attending, I was thinking maybe you should bring along some $ and we can get a little game of Sandbar Hold’em going.

And no, not the version where you all try to grab dtro and “hold’em” before he tips over in his chair

There hasn't beet an overwhelming response to my email, so for those of you (bassboy) not in the KOTC that want some details, shoot me an email.

[wastewaterguru]

I will be there. I will be glad to take attendees to and from the sandbar. I will also have the tube incase anyone wants to tiptoe through the timber behind the RiverPro.

[hanson]

Can someone e-mail me please.

[rushing]

I wont be there. Work

[Gordie]

I'll be there crown and my best hold'em poker face

I've also got a one or 2 fold up tables that I could bring

[DTro]

The tables would be a welcome addition so I don't have to go out and buy a couple.

I will tote along my grill so anyone that wants to throw some grub on there can.

[Gordie]

whose cards we using. I could possibly bring a grill also if needed

[DTro]

I know John picked up a poker set that he uses in the boat along with a cribbage board.

[Gordie]

cribbage now your talkin. cats and cribbage thats the way it should be.

[DTro]

Maybe you can bring some competition, I get tired of beating those guys all the time.

I even went as far as volunteering to take the outside track on the board since it's a longer distance.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

I too will be making a showing, but have a family gathering earlier in the day so may run late

[hanson]

Ummm... I keep a cribbage board in my truck for whenever an impromptu game may pop up.

Didn't realize ya'll were into cribbage.

[Larry FlatCaster]

[muskylicks]

[DTro]

Like I said, send me an email for details. My email is in my signature.

[Gordie]

[Whisker Warrior]

Do not forget Grants offer!

I will not be able to attend this My August has been booked solid for the last month.

If'in you guys need an extra table and some chairs, elwood sure can swing over and pick some up. The table has been at 3 or 4 FM GT's so far and survived. I am positive it was used at the 2007 KOTC GT. It is light and folds out to aprox. 3.5'x7'. Give me a call elwood. I will be home tonight and Saturday morning.

I might have a couple things you guys might be able to have a drawing for also or winner of hold'em?

Have fun and KOTC-GT with your rods out!

[DTro]

I’ve confirmed that there is a mean SOB of a flathead within casting distance of our spot. Maybe one of us will be able to teach it a lesson tomorrow.

Thanks for the offer Shack, too bad you can't make it down.
