Comanchero15, Stillakid2 and I are meeting at Bayport for some serious fishing on Thursday, about Noon on the MN side. The serious fishing will be done by 12:15 and the rest of the day is for enjoyment!
If anyone’s interested in joining our little Helmet’s Not Required New Year’s Day Celabration …Come On Down!!
If everything works out, we will be roasting Stillakids 
mudpuppies on an open fire….
See ya fish’en!
Brian
I have this thing called work, i have to do. But maybe around 4pm i’ll stop out with my new digital camera, and take pictures of all your huge fish. 
p.s. I always do better this time of year on the Wisconsin side. Hate to admit it 
, but it just seems to produce better when the pressure gets high.
Turk, are you stopping in for roasted mudpuppy? I promise I won’t kick sand in your face….
Sounds fun Brian, I’d like to go!
Where are you planning to meet. Or better question, where is everyone going to park? Bayport is kinda funning about parking if ya know what I mean….
Jon J.
I would like to stop by and meet you guys but I have a date with the big pond.But if things dont go as planned 
(has happened)I may stop by.For the most part I give up on the bayport area now and spend most my time down in afton by myself.If I can make it down there I will thanks for the invite
Jon…looking forward to meeting you.
Parking? Well, I haven’t had a problem parking at the Bayport Beach parking lot..the sign says it closes after 11pm.
There is some parking south of there, but it’s generally full so I go directly to the beach. Turn East on the South side of Woodies Bar/Bowling and keep going until you get to the beach.
Comm, you know of anyother parking close by?
You can fit 10-12 at the beach and there is room for another 15 trucks on the right just b4 you turn left into the park by the beach.I have seen people park there b4 dont know if there is any problems parking there.
if things work out, may come by also. Tough call though, the warm temps are nice for the opening of winter trout season down south, but I suppose I could come and get some crappie chips and pick the bones out of my teeth with the finger sized saugers I catch up there.. Bayport is fun enough but frustrating also, I cannot say I have ever caught a legal eye there through the ice and only scant numbers of good crappies. There’s a couple killer lakes minutes away in western WI that have been cranking out big pike and piles of pannies early season for us, so going to the river has been a last option. If I come, I’ll pack some of Big Pike Mikes Pickled Pike, along with good crackers and sharp cheddar.

Hey Mike,
Any chance we could twist your arm into spicing up the WI lakes forum a notch or two with some of that lake info? I don’t want to grovel but……………….PLEEEEEEAAASSSEE???????? 
Beachman,
There’s a good chance I can make it.
Where are you going to set up? You should fly a pirate flag to alert folks of your whereabouts
Where is Rivereyes? In deep meditation or snowboarding at Trollhaugen??
Turk
I could be in deep meditation…. but the empty whiskey bottles laying around might be a tip off!…. Im afraid I have plans for thursday…. but if that falls through ya never know…. Id be happy to drop in with cam in hand…. though with the weight of the NEW lens I might fall through the ice…. time for some weight lifting… my camera now weighs in at around 8# with the BIGMA attached….. good thing I have some smaller lenses….
Gosh, I can’t remember the website….I’ll think of it sooner or later. It has PDF’s for cameras, eye glasses…dogs… hmmm, come to think of it, I didn’t see anything for cats….
If you can’t make it Ken….Happy New Year and may 2004 fill your camera’s eye with award winning photos and your minds eye with award winning memories 
Ps In my opinion, of all the mug shots on this site…you have the best! Not to say that others are bad, just that you have that bright background of a scenic river.
I think the only way to improve the shot would be to get that smudge (in the lower left corner) off your lens before taking another pic. 
I also may wander over, all depends on what time I am able to let go of the floor! 
Surely I jest, as I do not drink anymore, because the same amount still does it!
Geronimo
gosh Bri!… your a good guy… dont know why I ever said the terrible things I did about you (JK!!)…. *sigh*.. ok.. Ill take em back and wish you a great next year!!.. catch them trophies… take some pix and Ill print em out for ya to hang on the wall!…
and I bought a new lens… that “smudge” was just to ugly to fix!!!
