Joe Contaldi has the day off tomorrow and will be giving me a call to pass on some information to share with the group.

I just got off the telephone with Joe and we had a great conversation. He’s looking really looking forward to guiding our group. He did request I send him a list of the right handed and left handed anglers. Thanks to Rodney, we have that information and I have copied Joe via this email.
Joe stated he likes to be lakeside between 6:00am – 6:15am and fishing by 6:30am.
If anyone has a special dietary need, please let me know and I will pass it along. The morning usually starts with the standard bacon and eggs and lunch is a bratwurst type sandwich or Burger and refreshments.
The decision as to where you’ll fish each morning isn’t set in concrete! Joe and his team will make that decision each day. When that decision is made, Joe will send a pin drop of the meeting location each day. This will give mapped directions to the fishing/gathering point. These pins will be dropped to Rodney’s and Paul’s cell phones, at which time they can share the information with the group.
Joe will call me a week before you head out on your trip to cover any last minute details, such as weather and any other issues that might arise.
Have a great week everyone. This is going to be a ‘Bucket list Trip’ for sure!
