Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart.  That's really all I can say right now.  Everyone that stepped up in some way, because there are to many to list, those who donated and those who continue to support this year after year.  THANK YOU!

 

The food choices were epic!  Thank you to everyone who brought those goodies too.

 

Here are some pics I took.  Feel free to add any pics you took.

And my wife will probably never see this unless she joins and she knows I love her but good lord she puts up with a ton of bull**** from me with this event but still sits there all day long collecting money and keeping track of everything for the event and does the booking keeping.

I was great meeting everyone today.  I had fun, and won a couple things, too.  :)  All the food was great and was happy to see red beet eggs.  One of my favorites.  My potato and pasta salads didn't get touched (store bought) but I'm glad to see my smoked salmon was consumed.  :)

I think we are gonna tweak the menu, the Mac salad wasn't touched either and I have another 5lb container in the cooler and the pasta salad I brought was barely touched.

 

So I think for next year we are going to over haul the menu.  I dont think the burgers and dogs were missed either.

It's hard to get everything all planned and figured out with something like this.  It was great that it was all volunteer and people made some good stuff.  You never know what's going to be popular from year to year as well.  I thought everything was extremely well run and I was definitely happy with the food choices.

At one point in time in its heyday all those foods plus more were probably at each Fling.  But the Fling probably is well over half the size smaller then it use to be too and alot of those people that brought that stuff aren't around anymore either.

 

So we can tweak to what people wanna bring and fill it in from there

Well, you can count me in next year.  I will definitely make a smoked salmon.  Maybe a brisket.  I went to this thing very last minute.  Next year I'll be more prepared.

 

And I'll spend more time in the Tavern and less in the PG.  :D

Agree 100% Derrick..

 

 

You are just a dirty, smelly fisherman. If a hot girl is making eye contact with you, she is probably a hooker.

At least you didnt get my ugly ass on film. The Kielbasi was a hit but I took home waaay too much gumbo. Happy to win what I wanted to win. Got a nice Baileys basket, A Tinman hat, A new Dexter knife for the boat, a seriously cool Guzzby swimmer, and a Black Talon Donk (I just wish it was painted bunker pattern)

Was my first SOL fling after years of procrastinating and not being able to go because of conflicts with work schedule.  Had a great time and had the privilege of chatting with some good quality people. Wish I could have stayed to the end. Thanks to those that put in all the work and donations to make such an amazing event possible.
