Re: Fall Gathering September 19th Bear Island

Hi Gang... Just trying to get this message back in front of everyone and maybe get some dialog going...

As all who have been out lately know .... THE FISHING HAS BEEN GREAT !!.... and last year's sociability sets a very high mark for us to shot for on the 19th !!

Paul and I , our families and our neioghbors are again looking forward to this weekend. Only thing we can not control is the weather.... it likely will not be as GREAT / PERFECT as last year, but we have plenty of porches and tarps and should be able to handle most conditions.

It sounds like Travis will be "working" that morning so we'll need someone to "step-forward" to handle the "pre-dawn/pre-gathering" meeting at the Meredith town docks at Shep Brown's about 5:30 or at a time to be agreed upon (or thru another manner to be deternibed). Hopefully we won't have that pea-soup this year that stranded some of you "at sea", missing that meeting.

Also my son Greg and Paul's son Ben are unable to attend this year's gathering, so if one you want to "step-forward" to try to coordinate some sort of Horse Shoe Tourney, you'd be most welcomed.... or you can just let nature "take it's course" on the 19th.

Again, we'd like reaffirm that invitation to linger as long as you'd like that afternoon.... if you'd like to catch that sunset or maybe even the next sunrise, that would certainly work with us.

I think we can handle about 25 -30 boats (maybe even a few more) before rafting, beaching them or parking them back at the town docks at Browns and shuttling. "fishlakewinni" cooperation, innocvation and "mutual aide" should make it workable.

If you have any questions, let me know or send me a private e-mail.

Hoping to see you on the 19th.

Joe (White Thunder) & Paul (The Lineman)

Re: Fall Gathering September 19th Bear Island

Hey Gang, Long range weather suggests the 19th should be a pretty good day....from "channel 12" it sounds like the fishing is holding up, but from this weekend you won't know it on my boat....with apparently a steady weather pattern developing, we have good "vibe's" that the bite will return this week.

We are just trying to get a "feel" of who (& how many) and number of boats that maybe planning on attending. Any response that you could offer, either through this "dialog" or a phone call or private e-mail, would be appreciated. Also if any questions, please similarly contact me.

Also still looking for anyone that wants to take charge of that "pre-dawn meeting" at Shep Brown's and the "pool" or anyone who might be willing to try to coordinate a Horseshoe Tourney of sorts.

Thanks and hope to see you on the 19th !

Re: Fall Gathering September 19th Bear Island

I hope to be there with my fishing buddy, and RFP, Jim Hanson who also lives on Bear Island down by the camp. We'd bring enough moose burger to gripp for about 10 or so. What time is the gathering?

Thanks!

Re: Fall Gathering September 19th Bear Island

We'll also bring enough beer for 10-20 or so (2 small pony keglets) to wash down the moose burgers we'll bring. Had some left over from the island wedding. But what time will it be?

Re: Fall Gathering September 19th Bear Island

Hi Hal... I would expect it would get going about Noon..I would think those fishing in the morning should be ready to quit (or take a breather by then) and I'm sure any activities that evolve from a "pre-dawn" meeting at Shep Brown's will establish some sort of "deadline" probably about that time.

The day's format is very informal and very "free flowing" ... everybody is on their own pace for socializing, cooking and eating.... there is absolutely no rush.... I'm sure we'll be going well into the evening and continuing the next morning and as earlier communicated....

All are welcome to join us and linger, we should be able to accommodate some who wish to "overnight" or come in early on Friday afternoon/evening....

Any particular questions , give me call or e-mail (I'll only be responding to e-mail until 6:30 am Thursday morning) Home # (603)542-8474; My cell # is (603) 558-1059; the Cottage phone at Bear Island is (603) 279-6115.

Hoping to see a lot of you Saturday.

Joe.

Re: Fall Gathering September 19th Bear Island

Dear Joe,

Many thanks! As you may know, I live on east side of Bear down by 6 mile. We will fish in the morning and then drop by about noon or so. I'll bring enough moose burgers for 10 or so and a pony of beer. Looking forward to it!

Best wishes,

Hal
