We Will Have Fish!

The fish are biting and there's hogs to be kill-t. Gotta go!

Thanks Mike, the Pressure is off !! Lol!

[Keith]

Good news, I did get my old canopy folded up so it will be coming. However, I can't find my white table, so we still need a few more. I vaguely remember loaning it to a friend, guess I didn't get it back.

The thought is what counts. Thanks for offering.

You're going to buy Fish from Charlie? That's awesome, but you need to bring them yourself!

Pat, hope you can make it one year soon. As to the fish, I know it's short notice. But we sure appreciate what ever you can get to us. And not sure what Charlie has planned, or if he's well enough yet. If it don't work out, no sweat. You're very much appreciated for offering.

Before you by any fish, let me respond late Wednesday afternoon with my efforts. I hope to by then have another 10 lbs of crappie filets. Hang tight.

Hope some others come through as well

Yes sir, Kevin! Still got all the measuring cups/spoons, can opener, big stir spoon, knife, those green mixing bowls, and 2 mellon scoopers of 2 different sizes (1 still has packaging on it). Also got 2 canisters of baking powder, plenty of salt and pepper, and a LOT of garlic powder.

Sounds like you have yours is in a gallon bag (40) . That should equate to about 7-10lbs, roughly. We will take what ever John want's to bring. I don't wanna run anybody out of fish, either.

That should work, Tom. And make enough for the day with everybody's contributions.

I weighed the fillets and just put them in the refrigerator to defrost. I will be bringing 10.6 pounds of crappie.

Guys...last minute offer... Wife & I are coming to this event after a 15 year hiatus.

What are y'all still needing that I could bring?(if'n y'all allow me to help the team ) If I got it I can bring it... or donate funds.

thanx,

David

[Texas Grown]

David, I think the biggest thing is just having extra hands, so everyone gets a break now and then, till we're done cooking. Transporting food from prep tables to cookers, and from cookers to serving tables is always a big help. We usually have designated peeps for that, so we're not running into each other for safety's sake. If you have any 5-gallon buckets, we could probably use a few to help hold the pop-ups in place if it gets windy. If not, don't worry about it.



Other than that, bring a chair and a smile! Lots of great fellers and "fellets" on this team. Bunch of us GOFs too.

[Huntindad]

I have several 5 gallon water bottles I can bring. my buckets leak, as they are old.

is there water on site to fill them up?

Yes water on site by crawfish team

[Huntindad]

Good deal. I'll find y'all.

[SaltwaterSlick]

Fish folks, if possible try to get it thawing now... When it's hard as a rock Saturday morning, makes it time consuming to soak in water for thawing...


Mike, Pat has his fish thawing... I'll pick it up this afternoon and have it iced down ready to batter in the morning!


Gonna be a might nippy tomorrow... All those fish cookers gonna feel pretty good... That alone will probably draw a crowd!

GREAT seeing the crew yesterday. Apologies for bugging out early but I think the hush puppies were in good hands after my departure.

Kevin, sure enjoyed getting to see you again!! You gotta come back next year! We'll go kidnap Clint and Jerry and get them back too!
Thank you Michael Berry for leading us to another fabulous fish fry and for all the after 'Nanza work you do to keep the gear ready for next year, all these years!!

[Texas Grown]

I want to say Thank You to all team members! Yall did another outstanding job this year . And thanks to all who stepped up and donated fish, or made sure fish got to the team. I think this is the first year we didn't have anything left over, including potatoes! I do remember we ran out of fish one year, after cooking 160lbs of fillets. But that was an extremely busy year. And we still had fries and hush puppies left over that year. Again, Thank you all! And hope to see you next year, if not sooner!


And, it was great see-n everbody!

[TX_Kevin]

I am sorry (not sorry) that I ate about half of your fish... Twice I set out to take hush puppies to Mary but they never made it. Oops.

[SaltwaterSlick]

Thank you Michael!! You have got this down sir!! With all your "Team" equipment all organized in the totes, set up is a breeze, then once we start the process, you got that fish cuttin' and batterin' down!! Makes it easy when we have such a fearless leader!!

It's hands like you, and every member, that make this work, Charlie. Without a team effort, it wouldn't be possible.


Those blue totes and most everything inside belong to the team. All donated by team members.
