well if its my car, we are more like 50/50, since i have no car and thats the chance that i'll have a new one by then..

Well, I'd say our chances are still 95%, my car works as of now, and I don't forsee anything happening to it.

Frank,

How can you be intimidated by grown men and women that get their hands dirty squishing Wheaties in red pop?

Guys,
I'm going to make every effort to make a last minute appearance. I'm the opposite of Matt and Louis - 5 - 95%.

You know, I do have a car for sale Louis. A 1997 Corolla with only 66K miles.

Give that tired white Accord a break will you?

Andy,

I would/will take three M - MH UglyStiks (length of choice but at least 6 ft.); three well oiled Zebco 33's. Lawn chair; umbrella (the big ones, forget what they are officially called in carp parlayance). An extra $20.00 to purchase everything else at the CCC.

Net (if it is the "suitable" kind) and unhooking mat are optional but PLENTY will be on hand should you need one.

If you have a super secret bait better bring it also (don't want anyone stealing your secrets do you?) but, for me, I use bait purchased on site; grocery aquired bait and bait filched from others (everyone wants you to catch a biggun on their bait).

Ohh, and I wouldn't forget a pretty good slide rule.

The best photos of the swim I could find on the forum are here http://www.carpangle...e...c=15651&hl=
It's about 8 or 10 feet to the water and the sidewalk has a wall behind it on some pegs and some have a chain link fence behind the sidewalk, A few have grass behind the sidewalk, You can't extend your pod all the way out to the full length to hold your rods because people have to get by your setup to get to their pegs, And unless you are Lucky and draw a peg close to the parking take just what you can carry in one trip because you may have a long walk if you don't get lucky on the draw.

PS, If you forget your slide rule I am sure Phone will let you use his, Or at least work it for you.

It was Giordano's pizza last year.

Jim, more like 4-5 feet down to the water, certainly not 8-10'.

OK, Paul I stand corrected, I was there just one time and didn't land any fish so never had to use my net.

Ya'll are about my age so I dont mean this in a bad way but why in the world is it so important any more to make a big event?????? Heck, in 5 or 6 years we won't even be able to remember it.
