KOTC get together-Offical thread.

[Shack]

I have cut threw some red tape and I am going.

So, mark KQ#1 and I as going .

[DTro]

That's good to hear Shack.

I'm not worried about the monkey, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about softshell Eddie and his Shenanigans.

This should be a fun time and I'm looking forward to it.

[Papa Grump]

I probably won't be there. We are running the karts this weekend ( they moved it up a week) , plus 3 of them have new engines. Even the Stock Car gets a new heartbeat this week and I can't miss that if there are issues.

[Scott K]

I would like to go, but I will be up in Mille Lacs saturday, if I get home early enough I will try to make it, but I dont forsee me being home during daylight hours.

[harvey lee]

Good Luck Brian. Seems all have been running pretty good as of late. The 23 car has had a good run as of late also.

[wastewaterguru]

I believe the monkey was last seen tied to DTRO's trailer winch.

I am glad to be rid of that thing for a while.

I assume we are planning to have dinner at the park by the launch......

Do we have a grill, etc.??

Just let me know if I need to bring anything.

[DTro]

Well, at least I found a trailer attached to my vehicle

I will be bringing my grill.

Also the landing looked superb last night!

[Sandmannd]

How has the fishing been? Have they picked up after the spawn.

[wastewaterguru]

We went out last night and got 4 fish in the Carver area. I would say that the bite is picking back up as I type.

There have been a few big fish caught in the last week or so.

I would guess that the this weekend is the turning point.

If we get enough guys to cover some spots well, we will catch some fish.

[DTro]

yep, I agree maybe not everyone will catch a big one, but there is a good chance for several with a couple nice ones mixed in.

Also wanted to mention the water level. Looks like it should come down another foot or so by Sat. There are some definate areas of concern, but not impassable. For anyone that might be running a boat in this area for the first time, be sure to ask about these areas of concern and we will point them out.

I found a gravel hump of 1.2ft by accident last night. I was due for a little prop shine anyways

[Sandmannd]

Thanks guys, I'll be running my boat down there for the first time. Aceinthehole with be with me so that should help. We'll have to keep around you so I don't knock anyone out of the boat though. Would be nice to catch some biggin's but just catchin a few is good or even one. I more want my Dad to catch some. If he got into a 10 or 15lb I think that would be his biggest ever. I don't know that he's got much fishing time left in him, but what he's got, I want to get him on fish and meet some of the poeple that are great to hang out with on this site and just have a good time.

Thanks for putting this together. Look forward to meeting you all and seeing others again.

I may know of a few surprise guests.

[aanderud]

Sweet! Turtles and sheepshead!

[harvey lee]

No thanks Eddy. I will have Boilerguy in the boat and I don't think he likes critters.

[DTro]

I don't think he likes critters.

How did you convince him to fish with you?

Looking forward to seeing everyone.......even the critters.

[harvey lee]

This critters has a boat and offered to take him last spring. He may regret that.

[Sandmannd]

How are we set for cooking? I have a small grill I can bring if needed. Thought I would throw that out there.

[Eric Wettschreck]

No thanks Eddy. I will have Boilerguy in the boat and I don't think he likes critters.

Don't know what yous guys consider critters. I know bunny wabbits are darn tastey this time of year.

[DTro]

I may know of a few surprise guests.

Sounds as if Aanderud may have a surprise guest of his own.

I met him once.....very loud and obnoxious

[AceintheHole]

I got one I'll bring also. I think that a few guys are also bring grills.

[aanderud]

Maybe loud, but definitely worth it. We put 20 lbs of potatos through the spudzookas last weekend. I'm pretty stoked because this new one holds about 3x as much air in the accumulator resovoir, PLUS it has a catfish logo on it. You can't go wrong with random catfish stickers on things.

[harvey lee]

Looks like no one will be safe from the Shakopee to Jordan stretch with that cannon.

[wastewaterguru]

Just need to rig it to chuck a 7" bullie and a 5 ounce weight.....

Just need a spool with a little more capacity.

[DTro]

I have a funny feeling you'd be fishing with cut bait at that point

I got a flat on cut bullhead last night.
