I know it probably does not need to be mentioned but... Alcohol is NOT permitted at Tapps County Park. Pierce County Sheriff DOES patrol the park durring the day and will inspect vehicles!



Count us in for 4 people (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 kid)

Cherry Cheescake

Count me in for two adults and three kids. RaMcvey I was thinking about regular cheesecake. You beat me to it. I`ll bring pink salad. My wife makes a real tasty pink salad.

bump bump. I know there's more than 2 groups coming!

Were gonna be on a real sugar high if no one else shows up.:shaking2:

Hot dogs and cheese cake. Sounds like a party to me! :dj:

You know I'll do my best to be there. Not sure about the fam though. I'll bring an old fashioned apple pie unless we need something else. If so I'll fill in where needed too.

bump. One month away!

Im starting to get excited !! Mike can feed hotdogs too the muskie ? pleeeeeaaaasssseeeee!!


Okay guys all i want to know is who can i count on this year to take the casting title from Gringo (I got it out for that guy, he smiles too much for me)[flapper] !!

We should start up some new games this year , how about tugg of war (bassnbomber on my team) ? or maybe something like i bet you 10 buck that mike cant swim across lake in less then 20min ..lmao

Im open for suggestions , but all mention above would ROCK !! okay so i stressed this last year and maybe ! just maybe ! can someone, anyone , please bring a bag of cool ranch doritos , come on guys iv been asking for 3 years now im starting to take it personal I provide lots of bass tips and all i ever wanted was one bag of stinky doritos (geezz) lol

I hope the Conditions hold up for us , i have yet to witness what others across the nation call "summer" , anyone know about that season around here

See ya all at the park ! Just look for the tall skinny dude in the wl.com speedo's (im talking about mike )

Dez I`m not sure about you. Your a goofball[wink] Summer where I`m from is in full effect. It hit a 102 yesterday and the humidity was 100%. That`s warm.

I look forward to making it this year. I think I missed the last one. Bummer that my Quadfather ID falls into dessert category. I am more of a main dish kinda guy. Not sure if it will be just me, or maybe me/wife and 2 kids. I will check in as it gets closer as to seeing how well rounded the menu is.

how about I put you into the random choice category since we already have three desert groups?

Hi Mike and WL gang: Put me down for 2 anglers and a big 3 bean salad. Y'all know what goes great with 3 bean salad, right? Cool Ranch Doritos. No wait, maybe its Fritos?, sorry Dez.
No worries; we'll bring a family size bag with Dez's name on it.
Looking forward to that casting competition, too. Been practicing (wink).

Nope. this is a picnic and free friendly fishing derby. You can fish from shore or hitch a backseat with someone. Or just enjoy the food and friendship, and of course, free stuff!

crankbait42 wrote:do you need a boat?

oops never mind ! I thought you were offering your boat for the day ..lol Guys would have been all over that

lol yeah, i could bring my boat but its pretty small, only ten foot with an electric motor. do you think that is too small?

Gringo & family (Gringo +2) will be there, not sure if I will be fishing, but I will definately be defending my title!

Looks like I will be bringing non-alcoholic "fluids" (why do I cringe when I say that word ).
