Fishing Rosey this weekend. We will be rolling in on Thursday morning.
Looks like the Fish Grease may be partaking in the weekends events, look forward to seeing all the club. Let me know if yall are in need of anything.
Geez, just looked at the weekly forecast (its a long ways off) but they are saying rain 80% chance next Friday and 40% Saturday with temps dropping back into the low 60's in Tonto basin, I had almost forgot since it hadn't happened in a few years that we have an event and the weather moves in :dontknow:
Does anyone out there need a partner? Not sure if my boat is going to be GTG by then. If it's not I'll need to backseat with someone.
:celebrate:We couldn't rent an RV for the weekend due to the fact that Country Thunder is going on and all the RVs are GONE. We will, however, bring the boat and fish and be there for the meeting and winning the fabulous prizes on Saturday. Should we bring some walleye?
Fiahless. Fear not my friend, it won't rain on us. Everything always turns up Tommy.
Sounds about right, mother nature likes to give us lemons. I will bring my helmet

Mike, I'm going to bring up a bunch of crappie and walleye. If everyone that has a few fillets to share bring a few just in case we need some extra, that would be great
I have about 25 crappie that I'm bringing
I have 6 for the oil
Hey all looking forward to seeing everyone in just a few days. Please don't forget to print out both the camping forms (attached to the top of this post) and have them filled out and signed. Dave "Sparkchaser" will be going around nightly to get everyone's and would make it easier if you have them filled out. We need these filled out by both AZCA members and non-members.
Pictures of Friday night included some friendly poker, group campfire, and of course a wedding :-)
Saturday was the derby, fish fry potluck, and raffle.
Food was really good!
