4th Annual Piggy Perchin Party

[Paul Waldowski]

Location: Appeldoorn's Sunset Bay Resort on Lake Mille Lacs

Dates: March 4th, 5th, and 6th 2010

What is this: This is a chance for all FM'ers to get out and do some Piggy Perchin' together. This is not a tournament, just a chance to get together, fish, and have some fun.

We will be set up out on the sand flat, traditionally a hot spot for late season perch. We will also pretty much be fishing as a group, or at least in the same general area. Whether you are a beginner, or a seasoned pro, everyone is welcome. This is going to be a ton of fun, as are all of these gatherings, so you don't want to miss out on this one.

You can check-in anytime after noon on Friday and Check-out is anytime before noon if you’re in a cabin, or 10 a.m. on Sunday for those in a Fishhouse as they will need to be pulled off the lake that day.

Rate is $90 per person, for the weekend based on double occupancy. This includes your lake access, accommodations, and a meal on the ice Saturday of Brats, Burgers, and Chili.

Whether you prefer the comforts of a cabin, or one of our Deluxe Sleepers is up to you.

Don’t Wait! Call now to book your spot. Last Years event filled fast, as did our Fall Trolling Gathering and with some of the perch we are starting to see this one’s gonna be a blast.

I will try and swing this one Paul. Never can beat the accommodations, and people at Appledorns! 5 stars on The Pond!

[Surface Tension]

I'm going to try and make this one too.

I've been to Appledoorns twice in past years for those big perch.

Appledoorns has very nice accommodations on and off the ice.

Paul will take good care of you.

If you have a underwater camera bring it and use it once you get on perch as it is going to really help, not to mention the entertainment of watching those big perch come in.

I missed this one last winter and I will again due to the Catfish get together on the Horseshoe chain.

Darn.

[Big Country]

My son and I will be there. BC

[Paul Waldowski]

Matt and Frank, hope you guys can make it.

Harv - Why would you want to catch one of those stinky, ugly, bottom feeding $%^&^*, when you can nail some big Perch

BC - Glad you can make it.

[harvey lee]

I know Paul, I guess I get into those stinky, slimy, bottom feeders.

Maybe next year I will have to make the trip up to see you and catch some of those perchie's.

[Big Country]

Paul, Frank and I will be there with our two boys. Looking forward to some fresh perch fry. You guys ever get into the tullies in the areas you have the houses at? BC

[DTro]

Watch your mouth Paul.

Looks like my trip tomorrow is snowed out...SO, I am gonna try and make it up there for the weekend, and if not the weekend, at least Saturday.

how many openings do you have left?

[picksbigwagon]

I can't edit my post above, but I am planning on coming up Saturday morning and heading home that evening, what time and where are we all meeting up? Not sure if I will be solo or not........

[Paul Waldowski]

Picks,

Come on up for the day we will fish you As for the event I canceled it due to a lack of interest/commitments.

[picksbigwagon]

Oh, well I am still planning on running up on saturday. We'll see what Mother Nature says about that

[Iambjm]

Sorry I couldn't make it this year, but I have been gone from home the last 5 weekends and the other half is starting to get a little irritated with me. Only because he has to do all his own cooking.

[Matt C]

I am planning on making a day trip on Sunday with the family to pound some piggy perch.

Darn work got in my way of a Friday through Sunday ordeal.

[fishing tech]

Paul, How is the fishing? My son wants to catch some "jumbo" perch. We might head up Monday or Tuesday and spend a night at Appledorn's. If we make it up there is there openings and would some one there be able to kida point us in the right direction as I have not fished Mille Lacs in the winter and only a few times last summer.

Thanks, Keith

[Paul Waldowski]

Keith,

We can certainly point out a few starting points for you. If you are planning on spending the night please give us a shout so that we can set up a reservation for you.

[fishing tech]

Thanks again,

Keith
