    Bring all the gear you can !! Any extra shacks may come in handy for the people that don’t have one…also if you have extea rods please bring some along..this is a Get Together and not a fishing contest..so we don’t have to worry about entrance fees and all that…I’ll have the Weber Grill and coals There will be about 6 dozen brats,buns there and will be cooked up around noon…

    For most of you, BYOB (bring your own beverage) except for MWCheifs he’s bringing me my Michelob Golden Draft Light

    I don’t know if I can make it yet or not. I’ll know by the end of the weekend. Are their any rooms left at the Americinn? Are most of you guys heading down Friday night or heading down Saturday then staying till Sunday morning?

    Dave,

    Are we gonna be wearing name tags or anything w/our Online Handles??. jk I’m not sure i’d recognize anyone from their mug shots on here.
    What type of fish will we be primarily fishing for? pans? Can we drive out on the ice?

    I can make you a name tag if you want.

    Judging by the map and the area we will be in, I’ll go out on a limb and say most of the fish will be sunfish, crappies, and an occasional perch thrown in the mix.

    I would suggest not driving on the ice. There is a spring creek that flows out just up from the landing and has been known to create thin ice. It looks as though there will be plenty of 4-wheelers and even a mention of a picker boat for transportation. With all this cold weather we’ve had and what’s predicted for next week, the ice should be good to go.

    Marion live bait called me at work yesterday and left me a message confirming that they are ordering a tub of 1000 eurolarvae to be in late next week. They should be in Thursday or Friday, but the place they order them from won’t ship if the temperatures are holding steady below zero because UPS does not insulate their trucks.

    Dave has dibs on half the critters, Herb on a bunch, and I’m sure there will be leftovers. Let’s all hope for decent weather, because if they don’t come until Monday, I’m stuck with them.

    John, herb will take the half that Dave don’t. If they don’t get here till after the GTG, I’ll take them all and Dave can pick sh&& with the chickens. That’ll teach him to muscle in on my maggots.

    I’m comming up with a friend, Hope there is more active fish under the ice up there then down here. It will be great to put a face to some of the handles on the site. Hopefully we can get a tow to the Hot Spots and the grill!

    FYI! I’ve got some tubs of waxies and spikes on order for everyone’s use. Now I’m in need of tobacco tins for containers. To anyone that chews, please save the tins! They will come in handy for this weekend!

    I’ll be there, along with two friends, sometime in the morning. I think it’s about 3 hours from Red Wing. Sound about right? Also, I’ll have my 4-wheeler and a trailer for anyone who’s wondering about transportation on the ice.

    Tom, will the plastic containers that electrical tape comes in work for you? I’ve got tons of them I can bring.

    I’ll be there, rooming with DeeZee for the night, and plan to have a buddy and his two grandbabies (7 & 9 ) in tow. The fishing is going to be a blast and the party later in the evening should be memorable to say the least!

    I’ll assist with moving people from the landing to the fishing grounds if there’s a need. Or cooking. Dave, do we need more brats or buns of anything like that? Let me know.
