Red X Angler 3/27 M&G Lawson's Creek Boat List & etc.

[jimbeamii]

We decided to have the RXA spring M&G and fish event at Lawson's Creek ramp (and park) on March 27th. Next steps are logistics:

1. who is actually going to be able to attend?
2. who will bring boats?
3. who is going to be riding each boat?

Regarding 1, there are two groups who voted on the date: those who preferred a date other than the 27th and those who preferred the 27th, or any date:

Dates other than the 27th preferred:

07_hemi_thunderroad, Marius357
big dave, cfarmd, EverSoDull, georgep
DRxug Money, Eric6708, NCTribute

The 27th or any date okay:

Coach D, Danny_G, DownEastFisherman, FishBugg,
NCPIERMAN, NCPS_PA_KEEPER, piratesaboard,
sallie0831, Scott Hobbs, sundrop, tarheel fly flinger,
trigger22, YAKATTACK FLY FLINGER
BigE818, biglenr, Island Man, JDHD,
jimbeamii, kmcskillz1, LADave, RouseD, TimC

Of both groups, please indicate if you will attend the 27th event. If so, indicate whether you will bring a boat or whether you will ride with someone who brings a boat.

If you are not on the list above (taken from the poll on the event date) and want to participate in the event please post and let us know. We'll put you on the list. It's okay if you are not a Red X Anger! This is a great opportunity to become one or at least fish with some of us.

As we firm up the boat list and rider assignments we will decide on things about launch and afternoon re-group times, fishing contest rules, contributions, and winning categories, and etc. (TimC and I donate the $8 big fish prize from the last tourney to fatten the pot on this one. )

Let's do everything we can to make this event as fun and great as our past events. Let's catch more fish than ever before. Let's scramble more folks to fish with us!

All event information will be maintained on this post so if you have questions about anything, check here....
