For those who haven't followed the MD Who's who thread closely, there was interest of doing a get together for the MD anglers. So I figured I'd start another thread to keep track of any interest on doing a get together, where and when.

I was given a suggestion for doing this in September (won't even attempt to have it Labor Day weekend) and holding it at Black Hills. Obviously, I'm open to suggestions on dates and locations and we'll try to accommodate the majority of the anglers.

So let's start with seeing who's interested. Please post if you are interested, what date(s) would work from you, whether you have a boat and any input on a location to hold the get together.

I am in, I have a tourney on Black Hills on Sept 10th, I vote for the weekend of the 17-18.

Black Hills would work at as a venue but the fishing is very tough at that time of the year. I don't have a boat.

I'm definitely interested in a get together. I'll follow up with some dates once I speak with the boss...lol! I don't have a boat either.

My son and I would be interested. Black Hills on the 18th would be fine or any other location for that matter. No boat. Sundays are best for us due to working Saturdays.

Im in for either days.

I am in and will have an open spot on my boat.

Black Hills isn't tougher than any other time of the year in September.

I'd be in for this. Am only about 10 minutes away so either/any day works for me. No boat but wouldnt turn down an offer to be a rider in someone elses

Hey Peter, I'm assuming you'll have your boat? If so, looks like that would be boat #2 so far.

Looks like September 18th is fitting most people's schedule. Unfortunately, that weekend as a whole won't work for me (have a family commitment I can't break). If that works for the majority, then I say let's keep that date.

Anyone else interested, please feel free to add to the thread! Everyone is more than welcome!

Sean... what works for you.. I think it wouldn't be the same..

So shoot some dates

I'd like to join y'all too, so count me in. I don't have a boat, but my buddy has a crawdad, so he may want to come too. The only problem day for me is 9/24. It's National Hunting and Fishing Day, and the Rockville IWL has it's open house that day to celebrate, and I'm working there that day.

I agree you should be there. Any Sunday is good for me. If it is into October is even OK with me. Saturdays would be tricky.

Ok, I checked things out and the next free weekend I have would be the first weekend in October (the 2nd is a sunday which sounds like that would work best from what I'm seeing). I wish I could do an earlier date than that but I have my daughter every other weekend. The next open date for me would be the 16th. Does either of these dates work for everyone? If so, I'm in and will have my boat and a open spot as well.

I should be OK for October 2nd.

I should be okay for this date. Just need to check if my wife is working.

Got word today that Hellbenderman is interested in the get together as well. Hopefully, he can pop on to confirm. If you are able to confirm, let us know if you'll be bringing a boat and if you have any available seats.

October 2 or 16 OK with us. Thanks for taking the time and interest to put this thing together.

Do we want to get a pavilion? Or, just get on the water and fish?

From what I've heard, reserving a pavilion is on the expensive side at black hills. I did some checking on line and see there are several that are open (5 actually), but there was no pricing information that I found (doing a quick search). If we want to do a cookout after hitting the water (which is something we did with the PA get together I was involved in a few years back), we could go grab one of the non-reserved ones (which would be a cheaper route).

I'll see if I can pop in to the visitors center soon to see what the rates are, if that's an option we want to explore.

Glad things are coming together for the meet. I would be willing to help with any funds necessary for food, pavilion, etc.

I am open to any dates unless I get behind on my school work.

Just checking in to see if anything new has happened. Hope things are still coming together. We haven't been fishing much...so no posting.

Mabye it's not too bad of a price if everyone pitches in. I'd be willing to. Sean, did you find anything out?

Sorry for the delay in posting! Things were a little crazy at work and was on vacation too so I hadn't been able to check. I'm going to make it over to talk to someone either today or tomorrow so I'll post the information I get ASAP!

I am back in town from an oversea business trip, and I am definately interested going. I am free first week of Oct. then gotta fly out again.

Just checking into see if anything new has happened. Looks like I will be working until 10:00PM on October 1. I assume the get together will be on October 2. We will need fairly detailed directions to the spot where everybody will be gathering. I am pretty sure we could find the park but beyond that I'm not sure. We have never been to Black Hills. Any help would be appreciated. Also I would still be intersted in providing any help with any finds needed for the get together. If the thing gets postponed or cancelled that would be disappointing but understandable too. As for fishing, my guess is we would be shore fishing.
