Dan:

Obviously, it's up to RockvilleMDAngler.

good thing my name is AARON!!! and it's my middle name, too! in the bag!

hmmm...what's the capital of "New England"?

the map isn't all-inclusive. I don't think there would actually be a way to tell but I think VA has got to be first or second.

and, at quanjig's suggestion, let's fish until 3pm. so everyone get your boats and riders squared away and meet at 8am on Saturday. It seems like we're going to have 3 livewells so we'll do a weigh in at 3pm and the heaviest bag will win, with pride going to big fish.

we still have two more guys who need rides, Rockville, can your boat fit 3?

Ok, so far we have: Soccerplayer07, Matt, Dan quanjig, Shimmy RockvilleMDAngler, NewAngler, ? which leaves: littlehuntingcreek cmatthews6485 420Angler, Thai (off doing their own thing?)

These are the GPS coordinates: 38.680462,-77.252246 Boat owners, could you please determine who your co-anglers will be and post it so we know who will be on what boat and who still needs a ride?

UPDATE: quanjig (+boat) RockvilleMDAngler(+boat) soccplayer07(+boat) soccplayer07's friend? littlehuntingcreek NewAngler Shimmy cmatthews6485 Dan JVM So far we have 3 boats and 9 or 10 people. Looks like we're going to have to do 3 to a boat. Is everyone's boat capable of holding 3 people? If not, not everyone is going to be able to go.

UPDATE: quanjig (+boat) RockvilleMDAngler(+boat) soccplayer07(+boat) soccplayer07's friend? 420Angler (+boat)??? NewAngler Shimmy cmatthews6485 Dan JVM Anyone else, please let me know if you would like to fish so we can get an idea of who will be on what boat and what type of format we will use.

great! thanks for compromising, quanjig. 420Angler, are you in for the Occoquan?

If we don't have livewells we can just measure on scales and record it on paper. It doesn't have to be too serious. I'm not worried about people cheating. Plus, there will be other people on the boat to confirm. Aaron, if you have an open seat, can I ride along with you?

How 8am-2pm? Is 6 hours enough? Too much? Should we do a team tournament with 2 or 3 person teams or should we just do individual limits? I say we do 5 fish limits unless we do teams, then we have a 6 fish limit. I vote for overall weight wins with respect for big fish.

It would help if the photos were resized. That is some of the most complex embroidery I've ever seen.

Looks like it got bit by a zombie and is starting to turn into one itself. The only solution is to separate the head from the body or to destroy the brains.

Ok, so if we are cool with the Occoquan at 8am on Saturday, here is the updated list: UPDATE: quanjig (+boat) (let me know if you are ok with the Occoquan instead of Burke) NewAngler Shimmy cmatthews6485 RockvilleMDAngler(+boat) soccplayer07(+boat) Dan JVM

ok, so how does the Occoquan River below the dam sound? They have a great launch and PLENTY of room. It's called Occoquan Regional Park. It's easy to find on Google Maps. Quanjig, does that work for you? The gate opens at 8am. I say we aim to meet then.

ok, so: quanjig (+boat) NewAngler Shimmy cmatthews6485 Rockville, I'm assuming you mean the Occoquan River at the Regional Park? That is a good idea.

ok, so: quanjig (+boat) NewAngler Shimmy post again if you are still able to go on saturday. I guess people want to fish Burke, and I'm assuming the AM works for everyone?

Just bend it back into place. If it falls out or breaks off, get it replaced.

Happy birthday dudes.

Did you get "burned" last year? I was under the impression that everything went well except for one person dropping out and causing fivebasslimit not to have a partner. Yes I did get burned last year. I won't name any names, but I sent my gift and it was received and my gift still has yet to show up. Said person was a Full Member (which I know means nothing) and now no longer posts on these forums, or if he does has created a new account. It isn't really a big deal and as you can see I am going to give this another try. I just don't think I got a straight answer from the user. He said he sent the gift, but because he stopped posting shortly after the dispute I take it that he actually didn't send a gift and in the end ended up feeling badly about it but couldn't apologize and tell the truth. I wish you would have told me! I would have made it right.

I should add that the main ramp seems like it would handle a glass boat perfectly well.

yeah, I would stay clear of the VDGIF ramp with anything other than a kayak or canoe...
