Time for a TA meeting?

OceanBlue · 09-19-2003, 04:24 PM

I need to discuss with Pilar, naturally, but what's October 3 look like for everybody? I know that some can't make it on Friday evenings, but it seems we have our best turn-outs that night. Not looking for a firm RSVP, just an idea.

Post it here.

Oh, ya... for those wanting Salty Dog apparel, we may have an opportunity to discuss/preview options that evening. Slow Roll? Can ya make it? DoryRod?

hmmmm, the next weekend would be preferable for me, as I have to work at noon saturday, and have a meeting at work friday....would mean coming up pretty much just for the TA meeting then having to drive back down here. The next weekend, I could stay in the area there at my moms for the weekend. :grin:

OceanBlue · 09-19-2003, 04:45 PM

Nancy - what's the date you could make it? The 10th?

Sea Jypzee · 09-19-2003, 04:47 PM

Yep. I'm off that weekend, so could come up right after work friday after my meeting and stay at my moms.

OceanBlue · 09-19-2003, 04:52 PM

Hokey dokey. others? 3rd or 10th?

ANDYCOHO · 09-19-2003, 04:57 PM

October 4th is opening day for Deer (rifle), so I will be out of towm, others as well maybe???

Taylor's viewpoint · 09-19-2003, 05:36 PM

I'm okay with either day.

Big TULE · 09-19-2003, 06:08 PM

Crap, 4th through the 10th muzzle elk... Count me out. And i was looking forward to my first TA meeting. Oh well i will make it to the next one. I owe PILAR a Barley POP...

Ragnar · 09-19-2003, 06:48 PM

Yes indeed! I could certainly use a TA Meeting. Say when. Make it so. They will come.

The sacred TUNA! MO-JO! is at stake.
I'm good to go on the 3rd or the 10th.
Get on with your good foot!
Ragnar

Fishplay · 09-19-2003, 07:00 PM

I can do either. Lets do stick with Fridays though.

DipSeaDiver · 09-19-2003, 11:12 PM

I'll need to wait and chat with "Skein." He's a little preoccupied at the moment.

:grin:

Looking forward to getting together again!

rockn'reel · 09-19-2003, 11:43 PM

I would love to go! I have been waiting all summer for this meeting. I know I will be gone for the rifle opener for deer but if it is not then I will try to make it. Whereabouts is this secret meeting? Do I need a password to get in or a special knock or something?

Albacore Tuna Captain · 09-20-2003, 04:54 AM

The 4th would work for Diana and I. The 10th we will be in Boston so couldn't make it on time. :grin:

graybeard · 09-20-2003, 07:09 AM

I can't make it the 4th, I'll be up cruising the Puget Sound that weekend. Anytime other than that would work for me though.

Orca · 09-20-2003, 07:16 AM

10th for me, I will be gone on the 3rd.

Gregotis98 · 09-20-2003, 07:37 AM

Cindy and I can make it either weekend.

HOGGEMIN · 09-20-2003, 07:38 AM

Sounds great I will most likley make it for the 3rd or the 10th. My name is HOGGEM'IN and i'm offically a TUNA aholic !!!!!!.

Bait O' Eggs · 09-20-2003, 08:21 PM

Pick a date and a place and I think several that are available will make it.

Looking forward to more TA meetings.

seasquid · 09-20-2003, 11:17 PM

Microbrew festival at the Rogue in Newport on the 9-10. Just a thought.

I'm out on the 3rd.

Badger · 09-21-2003, 03:15 PM

Looking forward to my first TA meeting so I can get to know many I've spoken to out on Big Blue this summer. Oct 4-15 is rifle deer season, so both those are bad for me. Schedule it whenever it works for the majority, I'll make the next one if I can't get to this first one.

BTW, where are they usually held?

09-21-2003, 03:17 PM

I hope to be south of Hepner chaising deer then.
How about a TA/Oct birthday party for some of us that were born in the best month :grin:

4 REEL · 09-21-2003, 04:43 PM

This is a really dumb question, but what is a TA meeting?
I would think it's a salty dog type meeting, not something to do with ******* . My, the mind just keeps wandering.

Miss B Haven · 09-21-2003, 05:44 PM

TA= Tuna Aholics! Friday in October are rough, it's crab season and at least every other weekend I'l lbe heading down to fish for the guys that pinch back! Unlike TUNA, those guys with shells can draw blood. Don't ask me how I know that! :shocked: :grin: I'll try to make whatever night works out for the rest of ya. It's a long winter if I don't make the first one :depressed:

skein · 09-21-2003, 07:25 PM

Rather that rush into another meeting, let's figure out when the absolute MAJORITY of Salty Dogs can be there. Team Swordfish has things to show....

Pilar · 09-21-2003, 07:48 PM

Hey Jim, if the video of you with your first stand up TUNA! is 1/2 as funny as the reality, we will need any watching it to sign a disclaimer .. they might die laughing or make tequila shoot out their noses.

Do TUNA! pull, Jim?

I'm not laughing at you Skein, oh moderating one, I'm laughing with you.

:grin:

skein · 09-21-2003, 08:35 PM

All I can say is when we watched it we laughed so hard we cried. With AquaHolic and Corrirod providing the "color commentary" it attained the rating of "Masterpiece!"

Autographs at 11:00.

Skein :grin:

PeterMac · 09-22-2003, 04:44 AM

I would hate to miss the first TA meeting, but I will be MARLIN FISHING IN CABO that day

.

PeterMac

skein · 09-22-2003, 05:38 AM

Awww, c'mon, Petermac, where's your priorities? :grin:

We'll expect a FULL report, you know.

Skein

Metal Manipulator · 09-22-2003, 06:53 AM

I'm good for every weekend except Oct. 18th.
I'm looking forward to making my first meeting.

PeterMac · 09-22-2003, 07:51 AM

Skein,

With your assistance, I would love to post some pics while we are away. I will email you!

PeterMac

Slow Roll · 09-22-2003, 08:11 AM

I am available on pretty much any friday of October. Just let me know whats goin on and where we are going to meet.

Paul B.

edsr · 09-22-2003, 08:46 AM

Just set a time and date and I will be there. I think that we will all want to hear the "Swordfish Quest - The Rest Of The Story".

The trips to Costa Rica and Cabo will be right at the top of my list things to hear about.

edsr

id. painter · 09-22-2003, 09:00 AM

I very much want to come to a meeting.
But i will not be able to come for this one . Hunting season is in full swing right now and that is the season opener for bucks. Ill come in Dec. Jan. Feb. Ill bring the wife and am looking forward to it. id. painter

Lovestafish · 09-22-2003, 12:57 PM

I'd really like to attend one of these - the 10th would work for me as like many others, I'll be hunting in Eastern Oregon on the 3rd.... LTF

royalfish · 09-22-2003, 02:18 PM

Oct weekends are pretty busy as I am crabbin'like Mel and still fishing. I definitely would like to come join the fun and meet the other TA's. I will keep reeding the posts for another meeting. Look forward to meeting all.

Royalfish

kamloops · 09-22-2003, 02:38 PM

The 4th is officially a TUNA fishing day.
The 10th I am going Pheasant hunting in N.D.

Don't worry about me, and after all that I'll proly be to lazy to drive to Portland anyway, How about a Weekend in November, or the first of many more, T.A. meetings in the Puget Sound area.

Miss B Haven · 09-22-2003, 02:52 PM

Kamloops, EVERY DAY is officially a TUNA fishing day, somewhere! :shocked: [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img] :grin:

Beer Waggin · 09-22-2003, 06:29 PM

October is a pretty tough month for those of us who put on the hunting boots.
We'd definitely need to have the big screen and vcr for this one. The Swordfish team has video to show and Baitboy should have some Costa Rica video too.

Miss B Haven · 09-22-2003, 11:31 PM

Hmmmmm... I just checked the tides. High tide at 7 something am on the 4th. Not a good morning to be crabbing although the morning swing is only a foot or so.

Nice incoming tide all morning on the 11th, looks like the 3rd will work for me but the 10th I'll be heading west into the sunset.

Hummingbird · 09-23-2003, 05:56 AM

Ocean Blue,
It's been a long summer. The 3rd sounds good for me. The 10th is not a go .My wife and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary somewhere near Astoria on the 10th and 11th.

I think all fishing and crabbing is out for that week-end.

Just let me know when and where if it is on the 3rd. Tight Lines ,Tom

BUGLEMAN · 09-23-2003, 10:09 AM

Just set a date, I'll show if I can. But to be fair my hunting season ends next weekend.

Skipper · 09-24-2003, 02:40 PM

I'd like to be there, but its date dependent.
I want to see the Swordfish video.

Cheerio'
Skipper

CATCH AND EAT · 09-24-2003, 03:59 PM

Date dependant for me also. Would love to come though. Set it or regret it.

id. painter · 09-25-2003, 04:38 PM

I told my wife again that we are going to come to a meeting this winter..
We dont get out much to socialize (never), and my wife was excited about the prospect of a T.A. party (meetng) .She ask if she could dress up.
I know this not my place but ,, I would like to propose the meeting be held near the first of November.
From the responses I see it looks like there are quite a few who would attend if it were not in Oct. Hunting season for big game. You can tell me to shut up if needed. I want to see the Vid. of Skein and his first tuna, . id.painter

CrazyFish · 09-25-2003, 06:14 PM

I'm in for any Friday. Would someone just set a date? :grin:
