Hello fellow fisherman/fisher persons!

We are hoping to continue the oldest and original NAFC meet!

Anyone who would like to attend the NAFC NE Annual meet please contact me or another former attendee.

Through the years we have all had a fantastic time. Ths will be our 11th year.

The meet will be on the weekend of May 22nd and May 23rd. Many of us come earlier and stay later of course. We camp at Rogers Rock Campground in Hague NY on Lake George and are only 15 minutes from the Ft Ticonderoga boat ramp at the southern end of Lake Champlain. The variety of species with these two lakes offers any freshwater fisherman the opportunity of a lifetime. At the very least it has been really fantastic fishing throughout the years.

For many of the former attendees let me now if you are still willing to attend. We have always had fun times.

The purpose of a meet is to meet fellow members and exchange tips, ideas, techniques, baits, and general fishing knowledge etc.

The fun and laughter are included! Come join us for a really fantastic fishing experience. For all the former members hope you can return. Even you PA John (aka the amish godfather). lol.

For anyone wishing information contact me at jarhead1974@hotmail.com

I will get information to you as soon as possible.

For returning members, well contact me guys!!!

Keep your drags loose....

I won't know if I can make it but I will try to at least drive up and be there Saturday if I can.

Sorry guys, I won't be able to attend this year.  Have a great time and know that I'll looking for the pics and stories!

Jarhead... as I already said, I plan to be there.

.

Turnip.. I am sorry to hear you can't make it this year, the folks will miss your smile.

.

Wellsley... I do hope you make it at least on Sat. if not for the weekend. I have a spot in the new boat saved for you. I think we might chase some Salmon on Lake Champlain this year if your game. And if you can stay more than a day, we can do Lake George too.

.

The boxes of new gear for the new boat keep piling up here. Today, I just paid for my new Yamaha T-8 high thrust kicker motor with power tilt. Now I am looking into remote control electric steering for the kicker. This will be the ultimate fishing machine. Come help me break it in... we need to add some fish blood to christen it.

You sure you will be able to get all the boxes unloaded in time for the meet. lol

I won't know for awhile between my daughter getting out of college and her doing an intership somewhere I'm not sure what my schedule will be. She is in her 3rd year. Now she is thinking of going to Law school so it could be four more years. I'll let you know as soon as I can.

We are praying for a short winter and an early spring so that we can pull the boat out of storage and get out project on track. I tried to find a garage in the area that I could heat... but none available were big enough. The boat won't fit into my garage or my boat barn. But I will be pushing to "Get it Done" before fishing time.

Turnip, Sorry to hear you won't be able to attend again. Wellsley I hope you'll make it. Keep in touch. Fish Eagle glad to hear you'll return this year. Missed you last year.

Hopefully this years meet will be even better than last years. My experience through the years has been cold winter/warm summer. We shall see. The weather cooperated for the most part last year except for some really heavy downpours. I expect this year to be better. Praying I'm right!lol!

I need to hear some chatter from the former attendees. This is a great meet. The fishing is awsome to say the least. The variety of species is so good it meets the needs of many freshwater fisherman.

The best part is you can't beat the laughter. Come sit with us around the camp fire after a days fishing and you'll know what I mean.  You might even get to meet the Amish godfather! He's prepping his mule as we speak...

Contact me for any information needed, including hotels etc if need be.

Tight lines all!

Well it looks like there might be a good chance I may be able to attend this year. The new job surprised me by telling me I have 2 weeks of vacation time for this year, with one week having to be taken before July. However us new people have to work ours around the other employees with more seniority picks. As it looks now I'll have from the 18th till about noon on the 23rd. As I'm on the 3rd shift now (Midnight-8am) my week starts Sundays at midnight and ends Friday 8 am. Not sure If I'll be bringing the boat or not; I don't want to pull it with the Cherokee any more because I "slightly" scorched the tranny in it last year coming back from the LCI. It wants to slip a little occasionally and I don't dare try it again. I'm hoping to have a new tow rig in place before too long, taxes this year are looking good. With the Bridge being gone now I will have to plot a new route but I think I can figure it out. I can say that I am really looking forwards to seeing everyone who can make it again, Yes; even PA. I'll miss Turnip, but at least Turtle and I won't have to hide our pies in the livewells again. I'll keep everyone posted on whats happening. And you can even use my launch. I don't mind.

Great new Dennis. I'm glad to hear your working and hope to see you at the meet.

Dennis,

I hope you received the info I sent you. WE are plannig a great event as always. I'm sure you'll have a place to fish if you can't bring your boat. So good to hear you're coming again but I think I'll leave your launch site alone.

Be good to see you again buddy.

I recently joined and am interested in this meet.  I've only ever fished local ponds in my canoe or john boat with trolling motor.  Anyways im working on getting a trailered boat with motor in the next couple of months.  If not perhaps i could second, third or fourth? on another.  Im still deciding if i can make it, but will know by mid april if i can attend.  Hope to make more friends here and get fishing in the next few weeks here anyways.  The ice has melted and im hyped. 

Jeroh give jarhead a pm and get all the info. Hope to see ya there and weclome to the club and bb.

Going to try and get those days off and meet up with you. Sounds like a blast. Will post and PM for more info if I can make it.

Thanks wellsley for he heads up on the meet!

Your Welcome, I still am not sure if I can make it or not. I'm still waiting on my daughters schedule.

Hey Wellsley I am hoping to see you in May at Rogers Rock.

Yes, most all the boxes are now empty and the new boat is looking great. All the electronics are installed and have passed check-out. The motor mount for the kicker motor is finally installed ( that was a project) and now the boat needs to go down to my Yamaha dealer to have the new T-8 installed with remote controls. I still need to get the new downriggers & install them.

The project is getting done and that is good because I need to get out fishing on Lake George & Champlain. I need to know the hot spots for the meet. I won't be up until late Friday as I gave my assistant the day off. But I will be ready to go fishing early Sat. morning if you can make it.

 

 

 

Hey Fishing-eagle

Good to hear your making progress with the new boat. I'm still hoping to make rogers rock.

I still don't know anything. My daughter hasn't heard what her schedule will be. If it works out I will come up Friday afternoon. I'll keep you informed as soon as I know.

Hey any updates on the Lk Geo./Champlain Meet?

.

I have not been fishing as yet on the lake. We did get out on a shakedown cruise with the new boat, but no fishing rods were aboard. I just finished the last of the wiring and install of my electonic steering for my kicker engine. Yes it is wireless controlled too. Everything is done on the boat except the install & wiring of the new downriggers. They should be here this week and I will get them installed ASAP.

.

I am headed up to Crown Point this weekend to set-up and open my new camp. So the following weekend... I should be fishing on Lake George and putting some Lakers & Salmon in the boat. We need to christine the new boat with some fresh fish slime & blood. I will have some fish locations to share at the meet. But there is always a price for such information... ya know pie & ice cream and all that good stuff.

   Well the guys from Jersey are getting ready. Lookiing forward to seeing all that can make it and will miss those that can't.

Anyone who wants info e-mail me at jarhead1974@hotmail.com put in NAFC NE meet in the subject matter and I will forward info to you.
