IDO Gathering This Spring

What kind of fish can you catch from shore up there? What is open In April?

Lots of rough fish. Lots of panfish from that very sand point Mike mentioned. Turns in to awesome sturgeon walleye and bass when legal.

Probably a little early at that point but white bass are around too.

Thanks! I will be bringing a fly rod along, and this helps me decide which fly box to bring.

Had to search for the post lost my calender back to the top

Looks like it will be a good time and turn out, but have a date set for green bay that weekend dang

Just a little over two weeks away! To recap:

Saturday, April 24th at the Osceola Landing.
Plan to meet at Noon

I’ll bring my apple pie drinks and various baked goods from “Sharon’s Bakery”. 😋
I think it would be fun if everyone can bring either a food item or drink to share but definitely not needed to attend! I’ll bring some paper towels, paper cups, and garbage bags.
If you have IDO gear please wear it for a group photo! 📷

I have called the NPS website to reserve the Blue Heron Shelter (the one further from the entrance) and left a message. Hopefully I’ll hear back from them soon.

Kinda gonna be one next weekend also at the gun range.

Got a couple tshirts still from sturgeon gtg, biggest sucker will get one. Person who hands me the most busch lattes probably the other

I just heard back from NPS (National Park Service) and we have confirmed our reservation for the Blue Heron Shelter! ✔️

I’ve gotta work that weekend, seems like I always do for these. I was really hoping to spend a few hours talking about 8efe28aeba5bfd44

Good job Sharon

Great job putting this together Sharon.I wish i were a little closer i would be there for sure.

Any chance of getting some 8EFE28AEBA5BFD44 shirts in time for the GTG?

A little over a week to go!
What’s anyone bringing for some vittles to share? I’m gonna bring some summer sausage, cheese, and crackers. I should have plenty for 20+ guys.
Can’t wait!

I actually thought about making some! But then I thought it would be more fun for a group photo if people wore their IDO gear if they have some.

I’ll be bringing paper plates, chips, and trash bags. And…My wife Ramona (Sharon’s Mom) will be there as well.

Any close camping to be had?

Wouldn’t mind an all night campfire this weekend.

There are a few Nation Park Service sites on the river north and south of the landing. Click around on this map:

Lots of camping north of there as well. All first come first serve

Well sadly I was reminded that it’s my nephews b day on Saturday. I won’t be able to make it to the gtg. But we are camping north of the launch on the river if any one else is later that evening

I am sad to say I won’t be able to make it anymore. I hope everyone has a great time and to see everyone next time.

Well on that note, it’s probably time for a roll call! Please reply here if you haven’t done so already, or shoot me a PM if you are planning to attend and if you’ll be bringing anything to share.

Thinking you don’t want to come because you don’t really know anyone? That’s the PERFECT reason to come say hi! These gatherings are unofficial and just meant to be a fun way for anyone who wants to gather and meet fellow IDOers and say howdy, whether you’re part of IDO Fishing, Hunting, Ice, or all three!

I will certainly try to make it. Would love to meet you guys and hang out. I can’t yet commit to being able to though. If things change and I can be sure I will offer to bring something.

It’s in my backyard so I intend on being there, I do have something going on But I think I can get out of it or cut it short to attend.

I plan on being there its an hour and 40 for me and will have my kids as wife has school work to do. Hopefully I can keep them entertained enough to at least say hi to everyone. Any one else from st cloud coming.

I plan to be out on the river at some point on Saturday, and hope to swing by. My shepherd will be with me for sure, might have my wife and the golden with as well.

Thanks, I wanted a dog that enjoyed fishing and the outdoors as much as I do. Though sometimes its too much of a good thing…

Sharon,
When I saw the date that was selected I knew it was a no go for me.
Our 45th wedding anniversary.

I was thinking of pulling up the boat until I saw the date. Sorry I will not attend. SWMBO does not fish at all.

Y’all have a great time without me!
