I have shirts. Or should I say, I should have a shirt that will fit you.
So it sounds like I'd be taking my boat and having some shoreline area and cleaning up by putting all that trash on my boat and hauling back to main dock or something, right? Thinking a nice big tarp in my boat would be good. How do they divide up the areas to make sure the whole lake area is covered?
matt are you rolling alone or shall we collaborate? I think if we double bag itll work without the tarp. im thinking of rolling early Friday. fish fry Friday night. get up sat pick up some elses chit from 8 to 9 then go fishing. cite a-8 can handle a couple tents.

Going to confirm if my parents are going. They I think were planning on it but depends on my mom's health and need to let them know of extra trash cleanup on Saturday.

Matt what most boaters do is take a couple trash bags with you, go fish take a break on far side of lake pick up some cans and junk and then just stow trash bag off to side of your gear. Stu K. the g and f officer will be out in his boat most of the day he cruises around looking for shore people that have trash to pick up and also boaters, just flag him down give him the bag(s) and go back to fishing you don't need to come back into the launch if you don't want to ;D couple years ago you could walk 30' and pick up a full bag plus, now with the annual clean up it is a lot better than before but all those roads that come down mid lake on the far side people go in there and camp and sometimes leave a mess :dontknow: there is no set pattern for clean up if you noticed people on the far side working just mentally log that as covered if you are trolling and see junk on shore hit that area, we over lap a bunch on the ramp side but surpised you can have 3 people walk through an area and everyone will find some stuff others missed :o With my back I bought one of those hand wands with the suction cup picker uppers on the end so I can just grab with out bending down, cost like $5 at harbor freight plus if I see something in a bush don't have to go into the bush and meet a rattle snake :o

Bumping to the top.
For those participating - don't forget to register! Registration starts at 6pm on Friday evening at the Cholla Group Campsite that's located along the road to the Cholla Boat Ramp. Registration is required if you plan on joining in on the Steak Dinner & Raffle. AZCA Members are encouraged to wear their club shirts. Thank You in advance to all those that are helping out & giving back to one of our favorite Arizona lakes!
Larry, you can register that morning in the group camp area there will be a table sent up right as you pull in, takes about 1 min to register
cholla ramp may be open by this weekend due to big water increases
Let's try to get a group picture, if possible.
Kevin and I would like to thank everybody that attended and helped out with the Alamo Lake Clean-up! Thank You for making a difference
good turn out, good food, was real nice in the morning but by afternoon it was a little toasty for humping up and down the shore line, was nice to see actually less trash than in other years but they still filled that garbage truck full of junk.
I think award for neatest thing found was Louis he found a brand new fishing rod and reel laying on the shore not even weather beaten.
Yes big thanks to everyone that came out and participated
