I will probably need to buy some fishing stuff for the boys Ben.  I'll go with you and you can help me out.

no prob.  I figured heading there after lunch sat to grab what I need. 

I will grab a few doz jalapenoes and some bannana peppers to fry also if you fellas want too.  is anyone bringing a canopy?  I do not have one at all.  might be something to have if the weather gets ruff.  but so far the weekend weather looks awesome.

Friday: Sunny, with a high near 83. North wind between 3 and 6 mph.

Friday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 59.

Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 80.

Saturday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 62.

Sunday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 83. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

so final roll call and what time is everyone gonna be there?

I plan on getting at the campground around noonish friday, setup camp and do some fishing.

I think I got my bank rod holder setup perfect now.  took a few tries but it seems to work pretty good.  originally I would stack rocks in the basket to kinda anchor it because the fish started draggin everything in when it was empty.  but in places I can I use one stake in the back to keep it anchored good.

I stopped in at the camp grounds and looked around a little on the way up to my cabin Saturday and the water was real low but looked  ok for canoeing.  Is anyone else bringing a boat or a canoe, or are you all fishing from shore?
