I will be bringing the hot dogs and brats and buns for them just so everyone knows that way we dont have like 200 packs of hot dogs
 
If you are not planning on attending but would still like to enter the drawing- send me a PM and which Prize you would like to try for:
The Prizes are:
Omer EXCALIBUR 2000 Speargun (75cm)

HERO CAM (underwater camera that can strap to your wrist or speargun)

RAY ODOR Polespear (6')

IKELITE Underwater flashlight

ULTRABREATHE (Respiratory Trainer that enhances your respiratory muscle strength, durability and Performance)

And a ORIGINAL ILDIVER HAWAIIAN SLING (have to check with him )

There was also suppose to be a HAMMERHEAD 55cm Speargun- but HH never sent it. And it wouldn't be here in time. Maybe next year.

ALSO- If the Water is Clear enough to do some decent spearing- we will save one of the prizes for the biggest Carp for that day. (maybe)

Click to expand...

Fletch, there will be some extra stuff there I think. Not sure we will have what fit you, but I know we will have an extra gun or two. Wetsuit and fins is a little more sketchy with size and fit and all.
 
I'll make every effort to come... thanks for your generosity! I'm happy to find some spearos around here!
 
Hope to see you there and i hope you like brats or hotdogs
 
the wife sounded 'positive' when I asked... we have 4 kids (2)6yrs, (1)3yrs, (1)9mths... so... she's concerned they will be bored. I assured her there would be other families with kids... hope I'm right?!

we'll get there around 1 or 2. We'll bring some desert... sounds like lunch meat is covered.
 
I have 1-6yr, 1-5yr, 1-2yr all girls. My wife and all 3 kids will be there - plus there is a big playground there.

My daughter actually got a job, so she won't be there. The wife is working....I'M FREE!!!

good times ya'll see ya in the morning.
 
200 I think would be good. I had some but I can locate it. All I can find is the really fine stuff. I'm not sure if I'll need it, but may to fit the muzzle.
 
kalinux and fletch, it was great meeting you. I thought about getting in the water a couple of times, I really wanted to dive, but the conversation was good. Swapping stories and all was a good time, so not diving is very minor. Scott, Dusten and Jon, always good to hang out with you guys!

Now we need to get an actual dive trip going. Maybe in 2 weeks?
 
First, it was a great day...Thanks to everyone.
For the first time in 12 years I felt like I was at home.
It is not a secret that Americans live kind of lonely lives, and in Europe people live together, especially in Bulgaria..Thank you again you made me feel at home.
Looking forward to seeing all of you next time.

Kalinux - was great to meet you - hope we can talk more soon.

Thanks for the fish, Whopperhead!

You all have beautiful families.

re: no diving... yeah, well, we can't have everything...
I am sitting here thinking... man... at 6am I think I can be in the car headed to the lake... L.Mich. is only 30mins from me.
but, w/out a suit it will be indeed mighty chilly... he he he...I'll probably chicken out. rofl
 
Had a Great time today- Weather was GREAT. It was nice meeting some of you newer people! I hope to get in the water with you soon.
