Who would be interested in a Corvallis TA meeting?

wthr4d · 10-18-2005, 05:48 PM

So the season seems to be pretty close to wrapped up and I thought we all might like a get together to console and gloat as may seem fit. I am willing to take suggestions for more places to meet, those are the only ones I could think of right off hand. who is interested?

wthr4d · 10-19-2005, 09:17 AM

It looks like a quietly resounding yes for a weeknight. Get your votes in and lets strat discussing date time and place???

I voted for Woodstocks because thats where we did it last time and they were very good to us, besides I can walk there from my house

I am open to other locations. As for date tuesdays are best for me...Should we go with the 25th or Nov 1st?

Jon55 · 10-19-2005, 09:29 AM

Tuesdays are good.

But the 1st is out for me.

FishGitter · 10-25-2005, 05:02 PM

Any decision on this or did I miss a post somewhere?

wthr4d · 10-25-2005, 09:33 PM

I havent gone any further things got a little busy at work....some would say I was swimming in it today

(inside joke for those who work in my building)

I was thinking either the first or the eigth of November. Anyone have a preference?

Paul

apparentgenius · 10-26-2005, 05:22 AM

1st works better for me

fishtales · 10-26-2005, 07:55 AM

Het guys as you are probably aware I am new to ifish this year. I have been enjoying the interaction and sharing of knowlegdge. I have not met any of you personally other than a couple of south coast friends prior to joining ifish. I have never been to a TA meeting so my question is, is it by invitation only? or can anyone come? I would hate to think that I had to suffer my addiction alone

seasquid · 10-26-2005, 08:00 AM

Great call -- Wthr4d...

Either the 1st or 8th work. thanks

Albacore,

Good question, but the truth is there isn't ANYTHING the Salty Dogs do that requires an invitation, except maybe an open seat on a tuna run. :grin:

Whether it's an offshore run, a Tunaholics meeting, or the big convention in Feb, all that's required is just to show up. You'll see what I mean when you get there.

Do it!

Skein

fishtales · 10-26-2005, 01:28 PM

Thank you Skein. I will be there unless I have both hands bailing to keep afloat.

ogrejager · 10-26-2005, 01:47 PM

I also haven't had anything to do with you all...BUT I have just moved to Corvallis.

Would you mind if I came and listened to some stories?

--Rob

goodkarma · 10-26-2005, 02:30 PM

I haven't gone either and I'm afraid to,.....I might start fishing for Tuna after hearing the stories. That would mean a bigger boat.

Zodiac-Fisherman · 10-26-2005, 02:56 PM

Im in, as long as its not a monday night.

Corntown is a trek, but not too far from eugene..

wthr4d · 10-26-2005, 03:49 PM

All Ifishers are welcome, not just the salty dogs or invited guests. Unless someone wants to volunteer to bring movies and do demonstrations this will just be a get together with B/S session and maybe pool in a few pizzas.

The general consensus is that Tuesday November 1st would be good for most everyone. I will make the call to arrange to room at Woodstocks. Should we say after work 6PMish?

Paul

wthr4d · 10-26-2005, 03:58 PM

<font color="red"> UPDATE </font>
the Back room was reserved for November 1st, BUT the fine people at woodstocks have agreed to set aside a section of their restaurant for our enjoyment. So when you come in look to the left we will be in the main dining area.

I will get there between 5-6PM to post my portable burgee and order a round of pizza and root beer.

paul

FishGitter · 10-26-2005, 04:07 PM

6 works for me, I'll just have to take a long lunch. :grin:

BTW Paul..I hear eyewash stations can be hazardous.

BloodNtheboat · 10-26-2005, 05:59 PM

I might just have to show up for a beer or two, Thats like 5 blocks from my house!
I got bit with the tuna bug this summer!!

wthr4d · 10-26-2005, 08:32 PM

Blood- do you own a 21' alumaweld? I saw one with a ifish sticker outside of the 7-11 by freddies about a week ago. its only about three blocks from my house.

paul

fishtales · 10-27-2005, 07:13 AM

I am assuming that ifish wives can come? I am one of these guys that has a wife that not only has the bug, she also out fishes me consistantly.

wthr4d · 10-27-2005, 08:02 AM

ALL are welcome, I bring my daughter who is barely even a salty pup, having only been ocean fishing once!! she loves it! Pizza, root beer and fishing stories!!

paul

Jon55 · 10-30-2005, 01:12 AM

Alas! I can't come the 1st!

Have fun!

fishtales · 10-30-2005, 03:39 PM

Bummer I just found out that I have a conflicting meeting Tuesday :depressed: I hope you all have a great time

wthr4d · 10-30-2005, 07:48 PM

how many people Know they can be there?? should I order pizzas ahead or just wait? Is there anything anyone wants to discuss or have demonstrated??

Paul

Zodiac-Fisherman · 10-30-2005, 08:43 PM

Lets get a roll call..

Im in.

wthr4d · 10-30-2005, 09:47 PM

Im hosting and will be there with at least one daughter if not both!!

Paul

ogrejager · 10-31-2005, 06:55 AM

My wife and I will be there. Any excuse for beer and pizza, after all.

--Rob, who nobody knows

northriver1 · 10-31-2005, 09:04 AM

The plan is for my son and I to attend.

skein · 10-31-2005, 09:18 AM

I'll be there. DipSea Diver has a class that night, but may skip it to come. I'll bring some rigging in case anyone wants to see how we lash 'em up. I'll even bring my Avet and show you how I drilled and tapped 'em so they would hold together. I may even tell you how faaaaaarrrrr I can cast with one. WooooHoooo!!!

It will be good to see everyone.

Skein

Fish_N_Russ · 10-31-2005, 09:31 AM

I will try to be there

BloodNtheboat · 10-31-2005, 01:56 PM

Wthr4rd,
I do not own a 21 foot alumaweld, but an 18 footer, red supervee, no ifish stickers, but i did see the boat you speak of there the other day too.

Cloud-Nine · 10-31-2005, 04:40 PM

I will be there and intend to bring my wife.
Dick

FishGitter · 10-31-2005, 05:02 PM

I'll be there. Coming for a long lunch hour. :grin:

Net fun · 10-31-2005, 07:30 PM

Net fun

Sublime · 11-01-2005, 02:45 PM

I'll cruise by!

ogrejager · 11-02-2005, 10:29 AM

I am a complete and utter moron.

I was all set to go to Woodstock's tonight. Today is the second.

That sound you hear throughout Corvallis is my head denting my desk.

Hope you all had fun!

wthr4d · 11-02-2005, 02:31 PM

Sorry you missed it, I had to leave early at &pm as my daughters drug out of the resaturant, but that was one of the most relaxed and fun groups of salty dogs I have been around in a long time!! I kinda like these local meetings and after season get togethers.
