Sounds good to me.GG

Monday the 12th is Veteran's Day Observed. For many, this will allow a long weekend. Good choice. I am going to try to attend.

 

[FarmerDave]

I'm definitely planning on going, but not sure which day(s).

In other words, same as usual.

F.Y.I. I spoke to the manager at the Quality Inn Serritania and was given a "Fishermans Rate"' of $ 54 / NITE plus tax total $61.02 . for 2 people. Includes breakfast. There are smokin/or nonsmoking rooms. GG

I am trying to make it back this year. I hope to meet a few more people. Sounds like a good time. Quality Inn works or me.

Cheers,

Not sure yet, but it's possible. I may be heading to Cedar Key to chase some redfish, but plans aren't confirmed yet. if not, then Erie it is.

I may be in attendance. We will see. That is still the time of the year when my job may require some quick and unexpected deliveries and if that is the case I will have to be here to receive them. But it is a possibility and then I'll book the Quality Inn if all is well.

We can probably count on the high H2O part.

Sorry you and Moose can't make it, but we understand. I'll just have to find some other old farts to hang around with.

Make a sign"free beer if you fish with me". GG :roll: ;-)

Art-

Hope things will find you well.

[bikerfish]

free beer??? I will find you!!

 

[pro4mance]

Nine days out.
Unfortunately I've had some personal stuff come up and I won't make it this year, dammit. In the past we got in touch with Folly's End Campground and told them we're from PAFF and ask them if we could use the pavilion as a meetup point, someone would have to do that if still going.

 

[jifigz]

So while I won't be able to make the JAM and join other PAFF'ers I will be in Erie from the 11-13 of November. If you guys don't mind someone PM some tips for this time of year. Which stream you found a bunch of fish in and what patterns nailed them would be great. I've never been there this time of the year.

Just a FYI/PSA..

NWS Cleveland (responsible for the NW Pa. forecasts) is speculating that this weekend may bring the first "significant" snowfall of the season to inland Erie County. It's always tricky/iffy guesstimating lake snow, especially the first one of the season. It could end up being anywhere between 3 flakes and 8 inches. Point is, keep an eye peeled on the weather. There's almost 0% chance whatever happens will cause driving problems, but 3 or 4 inches of snow can make felts problematic and you might want to bring cleated/studded shoes if you have them as well as an extra layer of clothes..

Have Fun!

 

[FarmerDave]

Things have gotten very busy around the farm. I likely won't be able to make it.

 

[JackM]

I'm out. This is becoming a trend. I am down to the Annual Spring Jam as the only event I feel motivated to attend. My weekends have become sacred. I am holy about wasting time thinking about all the chores needing done.

I hope everyone has a great time. Elk Creek has been holding water for about a week or so. Good luck!

Anyone meeting up on Saturday? I am coming up early in the morning. I will be staying at the Quality Inn. Let me know if anyone wants to meet up to fish or get a bite to eat. I will be bringing my son. I am looking forward to a weekend in Erie.

Cheers,
