grizzlybri Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) Hello fellow OFC members I’m coming to you with an idea that Pikeslayer and myself came up with. With the nicer weather finally here we want to organize a GTA west end get together. We want to do something simple like wings and drinks, followed by a swap meet or swap meet followed by wings and drinks. We are planning on doing it on Saturday April 11 . We picked this date because both Simon and I are sure most of us are going to be hitting the creek and river beds later in April. We want to have it close to one of the major highways that is why I picked the following location The Live Bait Ale House http://www.livebaitalehouse.com/ 1185 Maple Ave, Milton, ON L9T 0A5 It is located just minutes away from James Snow Parkway and the 401 Swap: 1:00pm Food: 2:30pm Cheers (updated April 08) Edited April 8, 2015 by DynamicBear
lew Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 We used to get together quite a bit years ago but it just seemed to fade away. Hope you get it off the ground and have a great time.
Loonietoon Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Use to get together at the Fire Hall in Bronte
Christopheraaron Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 I'm in as long as I don't have to work that day.
bigugli Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Sounds interesting. I guess it depends on how far west you are coming out.
HTHM Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 I would suggest that you not pick a location by committee, but simply pick one. Dictate the time, the place and format, and everyone who is interested will fall into line. I'm at the head of that line BTW. Great idea!
Handlebarz Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Would love to get out but will be busy getting things ready for the odyssey two weeks later.

EDITED: Original post edited as well, I selected The Live Bait Ale House located at 1185 Maple Ave, Milton, ON L9T 0A5. This is just minutes from James Snow Parkway and the 401. Here is a link to their website http://www.livebaitalehouse.com/, I've been before, and the food and service was great not to mention the 90+ types of beer they have Edited March 23, 2015 by DynamicBear

DB, Is there sufficient parking area for a tailgate tackle swap?? I got a lot of gear @ garage sale pricing I'd like to see repurposed.

HTHM Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Yes there is Plenty of parking Google earth is a wonderful thing. The wry pronouncement of Plenty of Parking made me laugh.
grizzlybri Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Posted March 23, 2015 What time? 1pm? Sure I was thinking that anyways
tender52 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 I was just throwing it out there. I did not want to step on your toe's Brian.
grizzlybri Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Posted March 24, 2015 I was just throwing it out there. I did not want to step on your toe's Brian. Well great minds think alike then Colin, and don't worry you weren't stepping on my toes, since this is my first time spear heading such a event. Thanks for the input and looking forward to seeing you again
Pikeslayer Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 I'll get some photos of my gear for sale items up this weekend.
Christopheraaron Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 If I can come I'll have a couple fly reels, a fly combo, some flies, and I'll see what tackle I can scratch together.
bigugli Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Sorry guys. Warden says i have a prior commitment.
Freshtrax Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 I'll try to make it. Work is crazy right now.
Acountdeleted Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Just getting an idea, is anyone going to be bringing spinning reels for sale? I'm looking to get a decent one to pair with a new UL rod I picked up and would rather give the money to one of you guys over BPS.
