Ok here is a quick summation if you don't want to read all of the other post... If I miss something please correct me...
Flotilla= just a get together to meet BFT members and do a little fishing and eat hopefully some good grub... You don't have to have a boat, float, tube or toon... But sometimes we are able to get you on another boat with some other BFT members.. More about that later...
Where: Willard Bay North Marina, we will be congregating at the Pelican Bay pavilion, it is the far south one past the boat marina and launch...
When: Show up when you like, but we will be having a fishing contest that will go until the 1:00 PM gathering for food at the Pavilion... Some of us are planning on starting the food prep at 11:00 AM in the pavilion.. If you want to just hang out with us there you are more than welcome to do that...
Contest: Friday PM after dark we will provide a code word to put on a card or BFT sticker to put in the pictures of the fish you catch next to a calibrated scale in inches so we can accurately tell how big your fish was... Please check out the catfish entries to see how to do this and note the better you show the measuring device the less likely it will be to get disqualified.. Anyway we will score your two longest fish of each species and add the total lengths together (measuring to nearest half inch), so the more species you catch the better your score will be.. A $25 Sportsmans Warehouse gift certificate will be awarded to the top overall score... We will also award 2 $10 CAL Ranch gift certificates, one to the longest walleye and one to the longest wiper, if there are not any of those caught we will give one to the longest crappie or catfish in that order. If noone catches any fish we'll have a drawing.... Oh and I know this isn't fair, but we will only award one prize per person so we can spread the wealth...
Food: We will be eating a rendition of the famous Tubedude Pig Out Chowder, I'm not the best at following recipes so it will be close but not exact... I think you'll like it, at least if you like bacon and fish and veggies in a creamy white soup... Probably keep you warm on a cool day... By the way it may have a little pepper spice in it, not nuts hot, but warmish.... Use chilies not jalapenos or habenaros so it's a nice warmth not painful.. Anyway we are requesting a little donation to help cover the cost this year unless you are bringing some of the stuff for the meal.. $5 would help cover the cost... Thanks
How to communicate: If you have a radio use FRS or GMRS band channel 2 or VHS channel 27.... If you don't have one I will have my BFT flag flying in my boat come find me and I'll get you my cell number or you can give me yours and we'll give a call when things are going to happen..
One last thing this is privately thrown together and I'm not the best at organizing such things so have a little patience with our amateur efforts and it will be a lot of fun... Okay what did I forget to tell you that you need to know??? Later J
