Food anyone?

[motocross269]

  Any fast food joint will do!

parking, we need to either cook out at the ramp or find someplace we can park a bunch of trucks & trucks w/boats in tow. i don't really want to take parking spaces away form other fishermen at the ramp waiting to launch there boats, but a cook out is a great idea. count me in for a case of beer to go with the food. we need to send out a scout to find us a spot to bbq. does any one know if we can meet at freedom hill?

Usually that time of year Harley Ensign is practically empty....Most guys launch out of the Clinton river launch.....We could all move our rigs close to the gate after launch and that would give more space to the other fisherman closer to the ramp....

I have never seen parking there become an issue until the pleasure boaters start hitting the lake....Of course if we run into a string of really nice weather all bets could be off.....

The Metro Beach big parking lot would probably be the best bet...Freedom hill could be touch and go..They have enough local issues with that facility...If Harley is going to be an issue maybe we should just launch out of Metro.  That way if the weather is rough guys with small boats can stay right there and slam the LM...Just a thought...

I'm going to have to start planning food soon. I need a head count so I can buy meat and buns. Also need an idea what people are bringing. Whos in? We have 40 people fishing so far.

Mike you shouldn't have to take the brunt of buying the Meat....We will work something out....

I can also come in early to do the cooking....I get plenty of LSC fishing time so it won't be a burden on me at all...I will just need a Co that doesn't mind coming in early...

I should be able to bring one Gas Grill also...We may need at least one more...

I also have a small 10x10 EZ up shelter...We could at least throw that up to cover a picnic table and the food for serving in case of rain..

Thanks Brian, that will be a big help. I will have my big charcoal grill. I dont mind doing the meat. The neighbor has a couple dogs that bark too much.LOL  seriously, I just consider my donation to the site. It wont be that much. I just really need a head count. Thanks again. Also, what does everyone else want to bring?

[marya]

I would be glad to bring a dessert 

[mikesmiph]

Yum Yum. I can eat some dessert

[Team houston]

I can bring some pop and beer.

[VinceR]

I will bring potato chips.

My contribution.

[River Rat]

If anyone wants some good stuff I can swing by the Dearborn Ham & Sausage Co., their dogs and kielbasa are mighty good vittles!  Case on, no casing, dinner franks, red hots, etc...

And no, I'm not knocking any/many of the other local goods.

I'd love to sample some of the very fine local beers (Stroh's comes to mind!) but don't dare tow a boat thru downtown on a Saturday after a few of those!

[dartag]

I will bring cookies and brownies.   

[djkimmel]

Is alcohol allowed at the MDNR ramp? Maybe just pop?

[MadWags]

Yeh I would probably leave the BEER at home.
But bring some BROWN POPS for sure!
And those Brownies could be enlightening as well.
If anyone needs a place to crash let me know.

[Mojo]

I am bringing this incredible mixed case of beer on ice regardless, and a 12 pack of sodas to the cause.

(and some cole slaaawwww and a methiolade senko) lol !!

[motocross269]

Dan, Don't forget to pair me up with a Local that doesn't mind coming in a little early......I get plenty of LSC time so I don't mind coming in and getting the grills fired up etc..etc.....

[mikesmiph]
