Polebender Invitational

[Finneus Polebender]

Well just checked again still the same predictions for weather except the High temp is only 57 now , It is a ways out yet so there is time for change to a warmer forecast.

 

[tomriker]

i've gone to the store every day this week and bought more fishing stuff! it's pretty rediculous... but im just stockin up for the summer!

 

[Noahk]

Soda will be great ,it will be byob for that very reason , and just to warn the younger attendees I am not a hard*** but there is an incredible amount of liability involved with this event so I can not have any of ya drinkin . As far as the cost of this party it has been distributed between my employer and I with much help on the prize front from Ryan 808, Tomriker , and Colby P. What I would like only from those who can afford it will be cash donations, to help a fellow OFF member honor her Grandmother ,and mother by participating in the Susan Kowman breast cancer 3 day walk for the cure this Sept in Seattle Wa think you all know her Jeanna Jigs, a box will be provided to collect them at the event. My reward is to get to meet a bunch of new folks, and fish again with those I have already met who share the same passion for angling as me. You will notice that with a few family exceptions all the attendees will be active forum members , this is my way of saying thanks for participating in the best fishing forum in the northwest ,and by participating people will enjoy oppertunities that well non members will miss out on. Would also like to add that this years turnout looks to be at capacity with only 1 person yet to confirm , and that those attending this years event will have a reserved slot for next years if they wish . Thanks for the overwhelming interest last check on the weather report says we are in for at least a dry day 62 deg partly cloudy lets hope the fish cooperate should be a fun get together.

Sounds great. Done and done.

You'd think with your A.D.D. you'd like bass fishing. lol

 

[JeannaJigs]

Maybe?! I dunno. Never tried it! Probably would. I don't enjoy sitting still waiting for something to bite, so I probably would like it. I just completely lack all gear and knowledge in the bass department. I have a ton of steelhead rods...so a new addiction could be bad...

What? You don't want to have twice as much fishing gear and always be torn between steelhead or bass fishing. lol

 

[JeannaJigs]

Since I've invested in the drift boat...I think steelhead is gonna win lol. That said, the money I spend on gear already, is obscene. Lol can't imagine adding bass gear to the lineup. I still want to give bass fishing a go, just fearful of another addiction is all. Steelhead consumes lol

Pretty sure a good day of topwater would do the trick mwahaha . Topwater seems a bit out of reach just checked the forecast thet are now callin for a possibility of some rain on sat . Still a few days between hopefully it will change for the better ,will be prepared either way.

i knew it would change. it was too good to be true. but i hope it changes. if not oh well. i'm a river fishermen ive fished while it was dumping rain and i had a hole in my jacket. and ive fished in 12 degree and less weather. won't bother me much :lol:

 

[tomriker]

That's because you're young Brandon and you don't know anybetter

 

[brandon4455]

bahahaha. no, it just means i'm tough and i fish in any weather :lol: i even wade into the river in my pants when it's only 47 degrees outside. LOL

 

[Finneus Polebender]

Well we will need to get the catagories set and determine which one will determine the champ / grand prize winner the custom rod , gettin late so will do it tomorrow , between now and then better cast your votes gonna try and go with majority rules , am pretty sure though the smallest fish will be the trip to basstopia it is just too fitting for the catagory. Time to let your voices be heard contestants as of now we can look for up to 4 different ones to attach prizes too .

 

[Throbbit _Shane]

Biggest fish has to be one. Maybe most fish? Biggest 5 fish? Biggest non bass caught on a bass lure? just some ideas
