Bob, including yourself and Tony which are up in the air, it would be a total of 11, including kids that I know for sure that will be coming along. I believe UB might be stopping by during the day, and I forget what exactly Tim had said, but I think Shawn and his two boys might be stoping by for the picnic sat at noon as well. So ballpark i'm looking at 15 people. I'm sure other family members, girlfriends, ect might come along that I do not know about yet so.
Ernie,
What would you use the road flares for? You are more than welcome to bring campfire wood, I know I plan on bringing some from home as well as Tim I believe. I would def bring bug spray, I do not believe you will need a gaf, rain gear is always packed, fire works are def encouraged (I may or may not have some prankster fireworks for the crowd), turtle hooks if you want to set out some lines(Tim and Tony are into that sort of thing, I want to learn more about it), You won't need a lighted fising bobber only because you'll be fishing in some current, and unless you want to re-cast every few mins, I don't think you need'm. I'll rig you up with the rig I use and taught Big Ben to use, its pretty simple and works. Its a sit on the bottom, suspending the bait just above the basin, and when a fish takes your bait, you'll know it without the use of bobbers. Bring along a headlamp, and some wrags to whipe your hands off...thats something I always tell people to bring along fishing. If you or your brother have any delicious campfire eats your more than welcome to bring some of that as well.
