IT'S THAT TIME

[Bduck]

To start thinking of a fall BRATS gathering. Is there any interest? Any particular date you would like to post? September? October?

[Petty4life]

Mid to late September

[AFDan52]

​We are planning to up to the Condo during the week of October 16-18 , during school break. I'm not a hunter so anytime is good for me.

[gonefishing]

What ever for me! Being retired and all. I think later is better though.

[Bduck]

After a little communication with others I'm going to suggest September 26 for BRATS gathering. This will coincide with the lunar tables hopefully for some good fishing. The hunting season will keep me in the boat and retirement lets me fish any weekend. Come on folks lets get together.

[Petty4life]

Sounds good

[gonefishing]

Works for me!

[AFDan52]

That also works for me. Planning on it.

[AFDan52]

I'm still planning to be up to Bear Lake the weekend of October 15-18, for some fishing.

[Kokaholic]

Wont be able to make that one.

[Bduck]

You never know who can make it with the hunting season looming. Trying to pic & choose a date this time of year works for some and not so good for others. Thank god for tweener trips.

[smokepoles]

Yup, just got to set a date and go for it. I've planned a trip with the wife to the Grand Canyon that weekend. Hate to admit that never been there and its time.

[Petty4life]

Looking forward to it

[Bduck]

Just chiming back in to let everyone know the BRATS Gathering is still on for Sept 26 weather permitting. I'll bring some Brats. A reminder that this is still open to anyone that wants to join in, only requirement is bring a potluck for the end of the day. We launch from the state park at Garden City and usually get together by 3pm north end of park near restrooms under pavilion. Be sure to mention here if your coming so we can get a head count of attendance.

[Petty4life]

I'll be there

[Bduck]

I'll be there

Looking fwd to seeing again Jason. Bring a big appetite so we don't have to waste any extra Brats

[AFDan52]

​I too plan on being there.

[Kokaholic]

Sorry I will miss out.

[smokepoles]

Roger, post some pics for me as I'll be high and dry at the Grand Canyon.

I'm hoping for a good turnout this time Chuck. Some of us are just diehards having fun.

[AFDan52]

BTW Roger, I talked to Scott at Bear Lake and invited him to join us , he might be able to attend.

[Bduck]

Great news Dan, I sent him a pm a couple days ago but hadn't heard back from him.

[Bduck]

Took a pre-run for what was a perfect outing for on Bear. Fished the Cisco area and could see numbers of fish gathering on both of my graphs. I put 3 to the boat, a 5lb & 12lb lakers. A 7lb cutt came to play too. All released. Water temp @ 64, a spring type day with air temp reaching into mid 70's. No wind to speak of only a welcome cool breeze causing a ripple effect on water. Love the color of this water. The cutthroat shown has a blue tint to it. Its never too late for anyone that wants to join us on Sept 26 for a gathering of fishing & potluck at the end of the day.

[smokepoles]

Thanks for the pics, Roger. You are right on the color of the cutt and water. I'll look for more pics from the gathering.
