I've chatted with guys on a Florida site and they have what they call a "Non-meeting" every month. They have it at different restaurants/bar and grills that are family friendly so the kids and spouses can join in(if you want). They also rotate cities so that its not a long haul for the same people all the time. So we could have it in VB one time and then Chesapeake or Hampton another. Nothing formal, no minutes, no treasury report, no call to order(except drinks ) We don't have to have it once a month, unless it really takes off, and then may be have a big blow out party in the summer.

With the Holidays upon us, it might be hard to do something in December, but how about trying to do something in January?? may be mid Jan??

This would be a cool way to put faces with board names and sit around telling stories and lies.

Let me know if you all are interested and if you have any ideas of places, or any thoughts about it.

Catch 'em Up!!

--Don

Sounds like a cool idea. Good way to make some new fishing buddies!

Something else you guys may be interested in is the Virginia Beach Angler Club meetings. Maybe stop off somewhere afterwards. Unfortunately I work from my ranch a couple of hours inland and can't get there... I will be in town Christmas week (quick trip) to fish with Herman on the Okee II.

I think it is a good idea. Who is going to set up the first one?

There have been 2 already, fun times!

??

One at Oceans East & one at Long Bay Pointe Bait and Tackle last year.

sounds like a good idea, you can count me and the wifey in

So far Ive only met Gigolot, Eva K and Rockin Robin from this board. Real nice guys, look forward to meeting more of you guys.

Count me in

Maybe LBP can plan a tournament, never been in one, but would like to change that one day.

Eric

I bet they have the freshest Oyster Shooters in towne.

That sounds like a plan. My brother and I have done a lot of work at Sharx Sports Grill down at the beach...I'll talk to them to see if that can't throw us a bone and give us a deal on some drinks and stuff...if not for the first Meet and Greet, then the second.

I'm game...

Great idea, I'm in.

What do you mean by alot of work, work on their beer stock. Maybe work done on their pool table???

We did all the paint work plus tile, flooring, bathroom stalls, etc, etc...and we did our damage on the beer stock, too. I was their bouncer for a few weeks until I told them I couldn't work one weekend...I had to go fishing...I have my priorities.
Great place though and great food!! Good place if the kids are coming with. They have the pool tables and video games. I'll see what I can do to get them to help us out.

I"m definately game if I'm in town. let us know....Bob

I'm in. Great idea. Skinny's the Man!!!

How about on a Thursday/Friday, would be a good time to talk about the weekend? Lets try to get a sponsor, then we could give them the business!! SouthEnd is a start.

Mega, I must have missed the first two, never recall hearing about any???

-Mike

I dont recall meting you there.It was held by the sight sponsers at the Long Bay Pointe Bait and Tackel.They had a Barbeque,Cold Drinks and sales in the shoppe.The Other one wasnt that great at Oceans East I think that one wasnt actually sanctioned by the sight.Its sounds like a Great Idea lets make it happen!

Don

A bouncer? Big guy huh?

Ive briefly been in there at Sharx.

Nice set up on the TV's and all. I was in there with my girlfriend who was doing work too.

Im in on the meet, Its winter so maybe Ill break down and go to the beach. I guess you can park there now.

Eric

No Eric...I just have a big STICK!!!

Parking is one of the things I will work on...They own the lot across from it, but I don't know if they are charging now.

If anyone else knows of some places to go, let's hear 'em. I've heard the food at the South End Seafood(Jason's place) is pretty good.

the first meeting led to the forming of a different site
and the second one was a fish fry at the shore drive store

i'm in, if i'm in town...otherwise, take lots of pics for me...

Mike

Hey I am in for it. A little new to this boat owners thing. So "Lets Getter Done"

theres a yankee trying to fit in fer sure !! its GIT-R-DONE

na just seen that crazy guy on the tv and hmmm born here in VA. So what ever one think it makes me. All I know is the fish dont care who, what, where, male, female, old, young, black, white, purple or blue just as long as you have some thing that looks good to eat to them.

let me know - I would enjoy meeting alot of you guys.

that sounds cool im down

Count me in. Sounds like a great idea.

Sounds like a good time. Let me know where the first liars club metting will be held.

Okay, Let's do this on the 19th of January. It's a Thursday. It's after the Holidays, no night bay fishing to cancel, restaurants may not be as busy as a Friday, and hangovers are okay for work on Friday, but not for fishing on Saturday . I was going to say the Friday before, but that's the 13th and we don't want to have our first Meet and Greet on Friday the 13th...bad karma!!

How about some more ideas for places to go?? That way we can nail some place down. If this gets going and people want to do this once a month as an informal get together, then we can rotate places, cities, etc.

This will be a great way to start the year off!!!

--Don

Don..

You da man..

Take this thing by the horns. I am not familiar enough with the area to suggest a location - but I am willing to do whatever I can to help.

Charlie

Let me know when and where and I'll try to make it.

Don..

Why don't you start a new thread with a variation on the title? Probably get more attention.

I'm sorry.... I have a problem seeing Don as a bouncer. Imagine this... A 6'2" guy wearing an outfit from Dan Ryan’s with matching suspenders. He's Mr. GQ in my book and always will be. He probably had a job as a fashion police and they decided to reduce the overhead. Besides, He's to nice of a guy to be a bouncer.

Sorry Don.... Had to tell all.... Can I still come? Got Pic's!

Bobby

Bobby Powell,

Yeah I traded in my suits, suspenders and expensive shoes for shorts, flip-flops, and a visor...and when its cold I throw on the Grundens!! My hands are scrapped and cut from building decks and remodeling rooms...and sometimes I'll go a week without shaving!! It's not a lot of money, but its better than the stress from other places .
Hope you're doing well Bobby!! I still have that picture of Grant waiting to go fishing. How's Stephanie and the new little one???

Let me know when you go fishing again.

--Don

P.S. You don't have to be big to be a bouncer...you just have to know how to yell for the cops!!

Thats the great thing about fishing they cant see your Boat,Rod,Bank Account or your Attire.The onlything they see is your Hook ,line and sinker.Besides those Tommy Bahama pants and shirts are comfortable sometimes,LOL!

This meet and greet thing sounds great.

Im with you Don

That's funny Eric!!!

IT'S ALIVE!

Don,

After watching you expertly cut up limes the other day at Dave's, I can see you in shorts and flip flops working one of those little Tiki Hut bars in the Caribbean...............

John

Me too!!! Ya Mon!!!
