I am fishing a tourney this weekend, got a wedding on the 5th otherwise I would be there. Do they have trailers to rent at Big Bass?

I would love to be there, but i have a prior engagement

yes

I'm going to be up there at the camp, but i'm not sure if friends that the better half invited will show up or not. They haven't given a definite answer yet. I can drive down to Buckeye and meet you and pay up the friday night if i'm able to fish and this "maybe" is sufficient.

No problem Ronnie.

Come visit if nothing else.

This is who I have so far.

Casey and his family is coming to cook/hang out.

Let me know who else is coming.
