CCC of CSO gathering ?

[Gunnar]

Ahoy*It's been a while since the last gathering. I'll be up to Swansboro the last weekend in February for a little golf tournament. Might even drag my skiff up there if the weather looks good.*fingerscrossed* Anybody going to be around and interested in getting a bite to eat and maybe a pop or two ? *Cheers*

Gregg

[Gary13]

I should be around. Keep me updated and maybe a few of us can get together.
*Cheers*
Gary

[Dad2RMH2]

Gregg;

I can't make it. *surrender*

But, if you want a good pizza with your pop, head to the Trattoria. Nice folks, great pizza and a good view. You might even catch a ride with some of those Crystal Coast/Emerald Isle CSO's out fishing the bridge.

BTW, I do not own stock in the Trattoria, but I've eaten several pizzas there. *thumbsup*

[Capt. Mick]

It has been awhile since our last get together.

[Dave]

You can count on me... just pick a time and place, but remember, considering I may have to drive to Swansboro, and with my busy schedule, I'm gonna need at least a one hour notice *kickrock*

Dave

[beachbum751]

sounds great count me in

[Island Man]

Im IN *thumbsup*

[joe28540]

At this moment I am in. *Cheers*

[TooTall]

Tell me when and where and I'll drive the 600 miles for a beerAhoy*

[Dave]

Tell me when and where and I'll drive the 600 miles for a beerAhoy*

:cool: Somethin tells me you're serious about that rotflmao ....... If you make it, I'll pony up for your beer tab Charlie *thumbsup*

[Justus]

Sounds great...let me know

[Dave]

*yay* Looks like we're getting quite a bit of interest Gunnar *thumbsup*

I haven't been there yet, but the place Dad2RMH2 suggested sounds good to me, or any other place you know about in the area will work too, as far as I'm concerned *Woot*

This will be our first Captain's Meeting in the Swansboro area and a good choice for many of our local members, I think. I'm looking forward to seeing (or meeting for the first time) everyone who can make it. For those CSO members that aren't yet CCC of CSO members, now's a good time to join our little group of local boaters/fisherman, or, if you prefer, come on out to this gathering and see how you like it, before you commit to membership *Cheers*

Dave I sent you a e-mail in reference to ccc membership but i'm not sure that it went out from my computer, message was sent around 1300. Will you let me know if you recieved it or not? Thanks Goat (p.s. I'm not very computer savy*004*)

[Pitch]

Count me in. Tratoria's makes good pizza but may be a little small for the crowd that is wanting to show. Rucker John's on Emerald Isle has a nice room that will seat a small group.

[Justus]

T&W Oyster bar would be good to guys. Just a thought.

[redneckredfishr]

Gunnar,
Looking at the calendar I should be able to make it. *Cheers*

No I didn't get it Goat. I'll send you a PM and you can respond to it with the information I need to join you to our group *Cheers*

[Dad2RMH2]

Pitch is right. If there is a large crowd, Trattoria's would be too small. RJ's or even T&W's will be able to hold you and both would be good food. Ya'll have a good time. *thumbsup*

[wjsmith82]

Hmmmm.

Sounds like fun.

Can I let you know the week before?

Bill

[Gunnar]

WOW...I never expected such a response, you all must have cabin fever just as bad as I do rotflmao. I agree Trattoria's probably isn't big enough to accomadate us.
Dave,
Could use a little help here to set this up *thumbsup*
Looking forward to seeing you all. *Cheers*

Gregg

[Dave]

Dave,

Gregg

No problem Gregg, considering you make your home and your living (during the week) is a fair piece from Swansboro *thumbsup* I've eaten at T&W's (good chow/service), but not at RJ's but I'll take the word of any member that recommends it, to be the same. I don't think it matters so much to most members where we have the gathering, so long as we can get a little space for our group without loosing ourselves among the crowd... a corner spot with a few tables thrown together, a separate room, or the like. Might be best to check with the (selected) location manager to see they can reserve a spot for (what looks like might be +/- a dozen members).

Since we're not about to risk leaving you out of this thing, especially since it was your idea in the first place ;D... am I correct to assume that the date you will be available (in the evening) is Saturday, 27Feb ? Any particular start/end time?... maybe block off a couple hours... the first hour for those that want to have dinner and the second for those folks, plus the members that might want to show later for a drink and the usual fishin'/skiffin' talk???

If we can get a few of these minor details out of the way (place, date, time, and approx # of participants), I'm going to ask if anyone here (that lives in the Swansboro/Emerald Isle area and knows or can recon the chosen restaurant) would be so kind as to volunteer to coordinate with the restaurant management, to help us set up this gathering.

[Gunnar]

Thanks Dave,

Either Friday 2-26 after 6 PM or Saturday 2-27 after 4 PM till whenever is good for me. *Cheers*

Gregg

[Dave]

Thanks Dave,

Gregg

OK then fellows, without serious objection, how does Saturday at 1900 (7PM) sound for a starting date/time? Place in or near Swansboro, but still to be determined.

Though it hasn't exactly been said, (and with the approval of Gunnar, and again with no serious objection from y'all) I think this here particular meeting should be classified a "Captain's" meeting. That meaning, it's for the "Captains". I personally have no objection to anyone bringing their wife or girlfriend, or for that matter their kids, so long as y'all appreciate the primary purpose of these "Captain's" meetings is to meet and talk fishin' and boating, and many of us will be tipping a few... and the language and subject matter might not be especially suitable for some of the ladies and younun's... so you'll have to be the judge of whether it's a good idea to bring your own family members ;D And with that in mind, 1900 would give those that might have to work that day, time to get home, have dinner with the family (at home or elsewhere) if they want, change clothes and still make it to our 2000 (8PM) BS & EBS.

Justus, I sent out your membership welcoming letter (by email) yesterday evening... welcome aboard the CCC of CSO *Cheers*

Goat, I got your PM requesting membership this morning *thumbsup* ... will be sending your membership info to you soon.

*009* I just realized some of our members who spoke of wanting to attend this meeting, live a considerable distance from Swansboro... so have decided to change the date to Saturday... same time. That should also be a non-workday for most, I would assume.

[Dave]

Welcome letter sent out to our newest member, Goat... welcome aboard the CCC of CSO *Cheers*

[justaddwater]

I like oysters, and T&W does do a good job with them.:eek: Just my 2cts. Hey Dave can we bring a non-member fishing buddy with us.*006* If I'm going that far and going to be that close to water we might as well leave early and do some fishing,*thumbsup* and I might need some help with the fishing lies, he's great at it.;D If it's a members only event I guess I could ask him to stand outside until we finish our meeting.rotflmaorotflmaorotflmao Just a thought, I'm bored and need a fishing fix.*kickrock*

[Pitch]

T&W's is a great place and I am always up for going there.

1stSgt, Let me know if you need any help. I don't live far from any of the Swansboro locations.

[TooTall]

But I fish on Saturday rotflmaorotflmao

So what is the plan?? what is the day, time, and the place? *RazzPirate* I need 13 hours of low traffic to make it there!!!*RazzPirate*

[Island Man]

Just name the place and I'll have my pole in hand!!*thumbsup*

[Island Man]

Just name the place and I'll have my pole in hand!!*thumbsup*

Are you really coming from PA for this gathering? If so I will be glad to take you fishing if things work out where we get to go.

[Dave]

Sure JAW, bring him on, and nobody says he has to own a skiff... if he likes to fish the Crystal Coast area and if he's anything like you, register him up on CSO.com and we'll sign him up with the CCC on the spot *Cheers* ;D

:cool: ...... Island Man, we're all goin fishin on Saturday... end of February, that's practically spring time ain't it? *003* Hang in there Charlie, we've got the time and date and Pitch done volunteered to do the recon for us *yay* ... two *Cheers*'s for Pitch... you da man Pitch *Woot*

Pitch, since you're the point man, we may as well settle on T&G's for the location. Maybe you can check with them for that Saturday night, just to make sure they ain't holdin' a state arm-wrestlin' contest or something else there that night, and can get our crew set up in a bunch all by ourselves... more or less ;D

*009* *thumbsup* Pitch has checked with T&W's and we're locked on for the below time and date:

[Dad2RMH2]

Too Tall;

From the weather report, you're going to be driving through at least 200 miles of snow, 1-2 feet of snow. :eek: And if you leave early Saturday you might make it there in 20 hours. *004* Of course you could fly, oh wait you can't. Most of the airlines have canceled any flight in the mid-atlantic. *clonk*

Ever been through DC in the snow? I have and it isn't pretty. *surrender*

Might as well hunker down and wait for "Gunnar's Gather'n" updates on CSO.com. *yay*

[TooTall]

Are you really coming from PA for this gathering? If so I will be glad to take you fishing if things work out where we get to go.
now that I know a date I"m going to try to work it out! What bait should I bring?
Oh Waffles are on me!!! I know a great places for them; right Sgt!*flag*

[TooTall]

[quote=Dad2RMH2;8363

Have you ever been Around DC....Why would you thru anything

[Dad2RMH2]

OK, I was confused. I thought it was this weekend. I must have been thinking about the AC boatsnow. I think I read somewhere that was this weekend.

You'll probably be safe going down to the Crystal Coast on the 27th. The snow will probably be gone by then.

[TooTall]

i'm in for it all!!!! Watch out TooTall is coming down!!!*thumbsup* How is the Fluking now!!!

[Dad2RMH2]

For me anything north of Quantico, VA, south of Maryland Rt 40, east of Leesburg, VA, and west of Bowie MD is DC. And I guess you can go around it, but if you're on the beltway, you're in it.

Safe travels! Enjoy it while you're down there, it's really a nice area. My mom and my brother live in Cape Carteret.

[beachbum751]

count me in for both

[redneckredfishr]

Hope to be there around 7pm.... Dave, agenda items?

Redneck

[Pitch]

I'll stop by T&W on my way home this afternoon and make sure they can accommodate us.

[justaddwater]

Hope they'll be two in my boat.*Cheers* That's a long way out for me to commit to anything. *006* I told my wife I'd try for a couple of weeks and see how it worked out,*003* that was 10 years ago.*kickrock* You talking about three weeks.:eek:

[Dave]

Thanks Pitch... I own ya one buddy *Cheers*



I know a great places for them; right Sgt!*flag*

Damn sure do Charlie... Bayside, best waffles in the county *Woot*........ provided we don't get run over by some maniac driving through the front of the place.... or shot dead in the parking lot rotflmao *001*



Dave, agenda items?
Redneck

Naw, no particular "theme" this time, unless there is something Gunnar, you, or one of the members can think would be of particular interest. As usual, after dinner, I thought we'd open it up with short introductions by the members (who we are, where we're from, and any particular area of our region we generally fish, or would like to learn about fishing), and which skiff (if we own one) we fish from. I'm anxious to hear any concerns (pro/con) about the CCC, or any ideas or recommendations y'all might have for the chapter this year. And of course, if there is anything our members would like to have me address with Harry, (about CSO.com matters) I'd me happy to forward those concerns and/or recommendations to him on behalf of our chapter members. Other than those standard agenda items, I'm looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones *Woot*

Dave

[Gunnar]

i'm in for it all!!!! Watch out TooTall is coming down!!!*thumbsup* How is the Fluking now!!!

Would love to see you there Charlie *Cheers*

Not to many flounder around right now and when you catch one it is a fluke;D... though Dave did put me on to a nice flounder about this time last year, except it was about 30 miles from the hill rotflmao

Probably the slowest part of the year for fishing around here(for me anyway).
Offshore bottom fishing is good if the weather will let you get out.
Redfish in the surf maybe, stripers up around New Bern maybe, trout or reds in the marsh if the water has warmed up maybe.

Gregg

[brokebeach5011]

Haven't talked to the better half yet.I'll let y'all know soon if I can make it.Would love to meet some of y'all new fellows.

[Whatever]

Got my "Liberty Card" for the March in D.C. that week, maybe able to get an extention...*fingerscrossed*...;D

[rudderdog]

keep me posted, I should be available and would like to meet some of the gang over a cold one

[Pitch]

We have T&W Oyster Bar reserved for 7:00 PM on Saturday, February 27. I made the initial reservation for 15 people but they can accommodate more or less if needed.

Outstanding leg work Pitch and the quick comeback is much appreciated, Buddy *thumbsup* Now that we're all locked on, I've updated my post (#32) above to provide all the information y'all might need, to include adding a link for a map and directions to T&W's.

OK then, here's the head count as I understand it so far. (please post up if this is not correct)

Welcome to rudderdog... our newest member of this (pardon me if I do say so myself ;D) fine chapter of CSO.com ... hope to see you there! *Cheers*

What snow??? we didn't get anything!!!

Dave... who said I'm not committed.. just ask my Doctor team!! I'll be there on Friday night...

[Dad2RMH2]

Well I heard something about "historic", "record breaking", snow fall totals in the 2.5 FOOT range happening somewhere between Dallas, PA and T&W Oyster Bar. *006*

Man I'm going to be really upset if you can't even believe the weather man to tell the truth AFTER the fact. They usually get the forecast wrong, don't tell me they can't get the postcast right either. *004*

[brokebeach5011]

Okay, the wife said I could go.

[Dave]

Dave... who said I'm not committed.. just ask my Doctor team!! I'll be there on Friday night...

;D Oh, I know you're committed Charlie, to your recovery... and attending our meeting, and especially considering what you've been through with your "doctor team", I'd hate to cause you to feel obligated, considering the time of year and... because we're not planning anything so earthshakingly spectacular this go-round for you to risk life and limb for such a long drive! *Cheers*

[Dave]

Okay, the wife said I could go.

*yay* Alllrighty then Broke, we'll see ya there *thumbsup*

[redneckredfishr]

Bump.... *popcorn*

[Dave]

I hear ya Gunny ;D Just got an email from the moonshiner. Sounds like he'll be comin' too *thumbsup* Jack introduced me to T&W's last summer *Woot*

You or Wes gonna get the skiff out this weekend. Looks like we're gonna have some calm water on the beach side this Saturday... I think I'll clean the leaves and pine needles out of the skiff and take it for a little mid-day cruise.

[redneckredfishr]

Dave, I'd love to get the boat out this weekend, but I'll be out of pocket. *004* No matter how hard I try to get in the water, there's always something keeping me ashore! *nutkick*

To all CCC,

I'm glued to all your posts about your gathering and I read Harry and Dave's information about CCC.

First, I sent an email to Dave's address listed in Harry's note regarding CCC and I requested participation in CCC. The posting must have an old address for Dave, I received a message that the email could not be delivered.

Secondly, I'd like to invite myself to your Swansboro mtg., if that's o.k.? Still looking at arrangements but I'm very interested in attending.

[mdr5]

Gentlemen, I snuck in on your thread over coffee this morning and looks like y'all have something good going. I am new to the site adn just trying to check it all out. I don't do a whole lote of posting or replying cause my typing sucks and I am not that great with technology but I do read the site often. I am soon to move to Quantico so I may not be able to get involved; however, I would like to try and make out to T&W next week and meet some folks if the wife will give me the libo chit. By the way, I got out yesterday and ran from Gottschalk down the river and hit the ICW all the way to the topsail bridge--it was nice out a bit choppy on the way back but worth it. today and tomorrow looks alright as well. Thanks for the postings.

[foursum]

Gunnar,

Thanks for forwarding my request for participation to Dave. As I said, I look forward to joining and look forward to meeting folks with similar interests; i.e, C/S boating and fishing.

How's fishing in your area this time of the year? We'll have to get together some time.

Tx
Foursum

[Dave]

Sure you're welcome foursum *thumbsup* Can't say what went wrong with my email address... checked it today and it looks good to me *006* Not to worry though, I'll send you an email and you can "Reply" back with what I need to get you all signed up *Cheers*

Absolutely mdr5... before you leave the area, bring yourself on out and meet some of your fellow skiffers *Cheers* Don't know if you've seen this thread yet... something you might want to consider if you're going to be transferring to VA soon http://carolinaskiffowner.com/showthread.php?t=9801

[wjsmith82]

Are kids OK? I will have a 12, 13 and 14 yo boy with me.

I can look up, but do any of you folks know of a kid friendly hotel to stay at? If it is cold, but calm, I will have my youngest along too (3 yo skiff).

Heading to Jordan Lake today to catch shad. Last March I used Jordan Lake shad and caught over 30 dog fish in the turning basin. It would be great for the kids to get some tugs on their line if the weather holds.

[Dave]

It's completely up to you Bill, whether to bring your boys. I don't see what the harm will be, especially if you won't be hangin' around too long after dinner :eek: *Cheers* I covered it some in post #23 above *thumbsup*

I personally don't know any places to stay in the Emerald Isle/Swansboro area, (closest to T&W's) but I'm sure there are many... I just am not familiar with 'em. If you're planning on fishing the turn basin, (MHC/BFT area) there are some nice quiet places on Ft Macon Rd, not too far from the "circle" in Atlantic Beach. Winter rates are pretty decent too, and some have slips that they will let you use during your stay. I think they are all "kid friendly", but was there something in particular you had in mind for the boys? Let me know and I'll look up the name of the places and you can call to check on accommodations, availability, and rates *thumbsup*

[Dave]

Welcome to our newest member, foursum *Cheers*

Jim owns a 2009 DLV 218 powered by a 115 Suzuki... along with 3 other boats, ranging from 16 to 25' :eek:... Don't worry Jim, we won't hold that aganya ;D *010*

Please accept my regrets. I will not be able to make it. My time and wallet have been taking a hamering. I need to stay close to home this weekend.

Please take pics and post. I hope you guys have a GREAT time.

Best regards,

Is everything still good for Saturday at T&W? Pending no family disasters I should make it. Nice to meet Rudderdog today--looking forward to linking up with the rest of you.

[TooTall]

Pitch, is there anything you will need from us, other than a close body count, or anything you can think of to tell us, now that we are closing in on the 11th hour?

[Harry]

So I told my wife of my trip to this meeting and she looks hurt and says" What about the hockey ticket with your son"?*clonk* She gave me two hockey tickets back on my birthday in December....*006* That was months ago:confused:..... Oh those I said.... well I'cant make it*004* sorry guys maybe next time when the weather is better.

Hope it's a FLYERS game .... ;D

Opp's back on topic

Thanks

Hope someone remembered a camera ...... *kickrock*

[justaddwater]

Had a great time. Thanks Harry for the beer.

[redneckredfishr]

Thanks for the cold one, Harry. *Cheers*

Redneck *flag*

[rudderdog]

Enjoyed the get together,nice to put faces with names,see ya'll on the water, thanks for the cold one Harry*Cheers*

[Harry]

Thank you all.

I was following this thread and thought it would be a nice touch to call down to the bar and have them set you all up with a some buckets of corona's. The guy told me they didn't have buckets, so I asked that he set eveyone up with a round on me.

I almost forgot *001* and happened to be on CSO at 8:15 last night and saw the thread.... *008*

Glad I was able to catch him in time before the meeting let out... *cheerleader*

Anyway,
Hope you all had a good time

[Gary13]

Harry...
As you know, I don't like to give anyone other than myself credit for anything rotflmao but I gotta hand it to you...
YOU, my friend, are a class act!!!!!!!
No-one else that I know would have thought of doing something like that.

*Cheers*
Gary

[Dave]

Thanks Harry *Cheers* Your call came in with perfect timing, my friend... wished you could have been with us *thumbsup*

It couldn't have been more enjoyable for me, to have met so many new and recently joined members last night, and to once again have a chance to visit with some our our long-standing members. It's time like these, and demonstrates to me, that no matter each members personal background and experiences, that we have much in common, and so much to learn from each other... a terrific start and hoping a great year to follow *014*

Dave

PS - Harry, you know I'm not going to forget my camera ;D .... brought it, along with eight dead batteries *clonk* Not to worry though, Rhonda was there to save the night... and so we might yet have some pics to post *thumbsup*

[foursum]

I echo everyone else's appreciation to the folks that pulled together last night's event. I also appreciate the thoughtfulness and unselfishness to you guys that provided the gifts and of course Harry for his treat.

You guys sure know how to make a new member feel welcome. I look forward to the next gathering.

Thanks again,
Foursum/Jimmy

P.S. Thank you Brokebeach and Joe 48540 for the plug "putter in" and "taker out". I can't wait to use them, just what I needed due to physical weaknesses (mental weaknesses but we talk about them".

[Island Man]

Really enjoyed the gathering, can tell this is going to be a great group to be associated with. It was nice meeting other members face to face. Cant wait to fish with some of you. Thanks broke and dave for the drawing gifts, next time Ill bring a couple for the pot. Harry Thanks for the brew, went great with my scallops. *Cheers* Wish you could have joined us. Hope everyone had a safe trip home, I know it was a long ride back to EI rotflmao

Again nice meeting everyone and hope to see you on the water soon. *thumbsup*

I asked the guy on the phone "if there was a fishing club having a meeting" He said yup, sure thing. After finding out they didn't have the buckets of coronas for the tables, he told me to hold on a second. He came back and asked what I wanted to do cause there were like 16 people and only 8 were drinking beer.

I said to set everyone up with a round of drinks of whatever they were drinking. I assumed even if you were drinking ice tea or cokes he would take care of it. Sorry pal ....... *kickrock*

I'm just glad I remembered cause I was at my niece's wedding the night before and still a little fogging ;D But wanted to do something for you all. Wishin I could of been there, oh well ...............

[Dave]

Dead batteries ?? I thought that only hapened to me... rotflmao

I tried ;D ... knew I had low batteries in the camera so charged up a fresh set of 4 just for this event but I guess, after 4 years of heavy use, it was their time to crap out rotflmao Oh, and Harry, if you're wondering how you got (if you did) 9 drinks on your tab, when the owner came around to look at our drinks, I was drinking coffee, but when he told me that you had called and offered to buy "a round", I quickly ordered up a bottle of the most expensive beer he had in stock *010*... can't remember what it was, but it sure went down gooooooood *thumbsup*

Wanted to mention and give my added thanks to JAW and Rhonda. A few of us (that hung around chatting with them after closing) were able to go home with a jar of Mt Olive Kosher Baby Dills ........ delicious, chopped and added to a tuna pasta salad the wife and I had yesterday afternoon *Woot*

Dave you're surly welcome and as soon as we get back in town I'll give Rhonda your email address and she can send you the pictures.

Great meeting, we really enjoyed it.*Cheers*

[Gunnar]

Quite the turnout. Not what I expected a month ago when this thread first came up. It was great to meet all the members that I haven't met before and to see some that I haven't in a while. I'm looking forward to doing it again when the weather gets a little warmer and maybe we can get our skiffs involved.

Harry, it was a nice surprise to get a round from you, had to ask the manager twice to make sure I heard him right. Thank you *Cheers*

Brokebeach thank you for providing the prizes you made, a thoughtful gesture.*thumbsup* I tried to warn you about Brad, you should try riding in a golf cart with him for 5 hours rotflmao

Thanks to all that made it, till the next time*Cheers*

Gregg

PS. PICTURES... where are the pictures ?

[Harry]

Oh, and Harry, if you're wondering how you got (if you did) 9 drinks on your tab, when the owner came around to look at our drinks, I was drinking coffee, but when he told me that you had called and offered to buy "a round", I quickly ordered up a bottle of the most expensive beer he had in stock *010*... can't remember what it was, but it sure went down gooooooood *thumbsup*

Smart man you are.... *thumbsup*
