Where art thou Mr.iowaboy?

Mr.Holst has written extensively on that willow bite in past reports and would love to see what that’s all about Bucky

Are you talking about willow cats or some sort of structure?

I spoke with Brad the owner of the Harbor Bar and he would love to have a Get Together out of his harbor.

If you bring in your own cleaned fish, they’ll fry them up in thier beer batter and include your choice of fries, rice or potato and veggies. These plates run about $12.00-$13.00. They would appreciate the fish being cleaned.

I brought in some frozen smelt a few weeks ago and River Rat Randy and I loved them.

Assuming the weather will kick in to more summer like temps then, we could be outside or if weather is a problem, we have the inside option. Either way, we’ll have a very nice river view.

Might well be doable for me. I retire May 1st, and fishing is high on the priority list. Have not been to a GTG since Summer of ’05!!!

Looks like a lot of tuna boats and pleasure craft in that harbor , you sure they allow our kind in there?

I think I could make this work….be good to meet some of you guys. Not sure about overnight but could make a day of it.

Do they let you sleep in the boat overnight?

I believe they’re referring to fishing flooded willow shrubs. Could be wrong, though.

That photo was taken during the ever popular Reggie Fest. Should be open for lots of “our kind of boats”.

Sure you can sleep in your boat. Put some stink bait on a hook and wrap the line around your toe before turning in…heh heh heh…

Walleyes LOVE the willows in high water. Only the folks “in the know” like fishing the willows in high water.

It will be good to see you again Tuck!

Wait! Retire? Well I guess 2005 was 12 years ago.

Rough time of year for fishing but seeing as how it’s in my back yard I otta be able to make it.

Parkway motel is $60 for queen, $65 for double, can book online with card and no deposit for those wanting rooms it’s a nice affordable option.

Just made reservation for Friday and Saturday night. No cancellation charge up until Thursday the 17th…so what the heck, nothing to lose. I’m sure I’ll know by that Thursday if something changes.

I’m going to bet there are plenty of people that wished they would have that policy last weekend considering the snow and ice in Baudette.

Thanks for contacting them Nick!

Chris, wouldn’t you say it will be better then June/July when we’ve had gtg’s in the past? (as long as we don’t have flood waters hanging on I mean).

Might still be able to boat down the back channel without stubbing a prop.

Rough time middle may?, sounds like a good time to go pick apples then…..

These the apples you’re thinking about?

may is awesome fishing on pool 4.!! One of my favorit walleye months. . rrr

Perfect –
When I win the “IDO DREAM TRIP GIVEAWAY” I’m going to see if Mr. Holst will guide me on the river that day.

and I don’t want none of you guys following us around neither.

According to the forecasts, the river will be dropping to a decent level by then.

I know there are some that don’t like high water.

Bringing this back to the top. It will be “fishing time” (finally for at least one of us)…all that are in say “eye”

Despite the “distractions” on this forum, trying to pay attention to relevant fishing reports. Sturgeon Excursion?…never heard boo about that? Curious?, but I’ll let that go.

Some reports coming in from the St Croix opener, not much reporting from the GTG at Shiner’s and today’s fishing slow.

I still enjoy and digest all that is being reported. Good reports from a couple weeks ago.

Nick, hoping your boat is good to go. If not, let me know in the next week. I’ll be heading up to Mille Lacs next weekend for “formalities” and pulling my boat out. If you’re not good to drop your boat in, I can bring mine down. Need to make sure, I have my reservations made at Parkway.

I’ll PM or text you.

What is that red can??

It’s a Bedwetter.

With the crest predicted for wed/Thur of this coming week, the 19th should be perfect barring rain up nort.

Hopefully I’m not letting the “cat” out of the bag, but we don’t have to fish eyes…right??

I’m a no go, Granddaughters 2nd birthday, we will be in Courtenay, on Vancouver Island BC.

Have a good time guys!

Hecks no.

Scales, no scales, its all good.

Just realized this was Diercks weekend. I’ll be on the river, but in the tournament. Might have to meet up after weigh-in. We all know BK puts makeup on his cats, maybe he can dress one up to look like a pig Walleye for weigh-in…

It’s also my anniversary weekend…so shhh, don’t tell the FW I’m fishing…

My schedule is fairly flexible, what if we push it to weekend after? Work better, work worse?

That would be the Saturday of Memorial weekend.

Yup, Memorial day…I’ll be up on Sand (bowstring chain) for the weekend.

Somehow I lost track of these latest posts. Perhaps because I’ve been really busy at work…working.

Nick, nope. Can’t change it up. Reservations have been made. And those that have been looking at the calendar already know that the following weekend is Memorial weekend and I’ll be back up at Mille Lacs.

Gotta pin it and stick with it. Just like the ice fishing GTG at Mille Lacs this past February. Don’t make it a moving target.

Those that can make it will be there. All you can do.

I am planning on May 18-19. Reservations have been made already at Parkway.
