Looks like 45 have let us know they will be attending

the shelter we have is shelter 3 which is the first one north of hwy 60 on hwy 137 which is between the bridges over Spring river and Neosho river hence Twin Bridges rec. area

Son and me are going. Im bringing a boat

Got a couple extra snagging rods too.

Will have to check the schedule with Mama, and see when Kylee's spring break is, but expect some if not all of us will be there.
Is this the regular shelter Cletis?

Gonna try to make it this year!

Can't make it, hope y'all have a blast.

Andy ! Yes the same shelter

We will be there. Not sure who all will join as the girls are kind of scattered right now. Let me know what you need from us. At least 4 maybe more.

I will be there this year, and I’ll be bringing my boat. My son will most likely come with me, and possibly one more! I will let you know how many , as soon as I can!

ttt

Is there anywhere in the area where shore snagging is productive?

Thank you.

WHere is twin Bridges?

Yes Andy. Usually after heavy spring rains. There is a dam in Miami. They catch a lot of them from the bank at times when the river is up. they stack up at that dam

I well be comeing.

Cletis, we will indeed be a group of 3. I am glad we can do this again this year, after missing out the last couple of years. I will get some goodies together for the raffle, and auction if you will do that this year!
For any folks that want to go fishing, I will have my boat as always, and we can take turns or however it works out. I always have enough equipment for at least 4 snaggers at a time.
Coolstucco and some young ladies will most likely fish with us on Friday, which is a catch and release day for spoonbill, so maybe we switch up, and get after the sand bass, but time will tell.
But one thing I enjoy, is getting folks on the water that may not otherwise have the opportunity.
Cletis, let me know if you need us to bring any supplies for the fish fry, or Saturdays fiesta!!!

Might goof around and try to make it this year.

Sandy and I will be there as usual. I will take care of the raffle tickets and bring what I normally do. Let me know what else we need.

John, are ya bringing a sack of squirrels?

Yes I am, will have them Friday night with the fish.

Great, thank you John!

Me and the crew will be there 5 of us. Talked to Cletis earlier today Saturday will have smoked beef, pork, and chicken.
I'll have sausage, bacon, and eggs for Saturday breakfast. If any one is there Friday morning I'll have the black iron hot and coffee on for biscuits and gravy.

Dallas, If you have some hot links made up, can you bring me some?

up again

...

Twist my arm a little..... I feel like I need to go again.

Come on down j37

ttt

Well hurry up and decide so I can get the boat ready!

Cattrax would be great to see you two again

The youngins need to bring equipment as the dirthole contest will happen

I’ll be there, maybe one more

I want to get back down there for sure, but doesn't look like it will be this year.

Cletis add Jim and Susan Powell to your list

I'll be there plus 2

Count me in.

Well, it turns out we cannot make it. I am having a relapse of lower back issues. I will be laying low until I can get surgery scheduled.
I wish you all well, and hope everyone has a great time!

Sorry to hear this news. Hope you recover from your health issues
