Spring ABF run???
Feb 8^th, 2013 at 12:51pm

All,

Last year we had a great ABF meet up in March with several boats making the lunch run to the Gar and then even more meeting us at Devils Cove for the raft-up.

I recommend we have another one. With the water levels just as low again this year and all public ramps closed, March will be the last month we trailer guys can use the Highland Lakes ramp before it closes to marina members only.
Right now, I'm trying to gauge the interest level. We can set the date later. Jay Gadsby was the Organizer-in-Chief last year and did a great job with disseminating info/dates/times. Perhaps we can convince him to take on the duty again this year Cheesy

Thoughts????

You can come earlier and get a head start to the Gar
