nsnutter Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Myself and MinnesnowtaWild (Jeff) were just curious if there would be any interest in a Mankato meet-up sometime in May. We were thinking about perhaps meeting up and grilling early in the evening and then fishing once it gets dark out. It would be a great way to meet some of you guys on here, and would be a lot of fun as well. I would like to gauge your interest in something like this, so that I can talk to the Mankato Park Board and let them know if and when we would be doing this ... we would probably meet up at Sibley Park or Land of Memories park, as these parks would allow for a number of fishermen(and women ) to utilize the area in an efficient, non-crowded manner. *I had also given a bit of thought towards maybe a half hour or so where we could go around the park a bit and clean up some of the trash that plagues the park, and I think that the Park Board would be a bit more receptive towards the meet if we offered to give back a bit and help clean before we fish. Any interest fellas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTapper Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I may be interested. Depends on the dates in May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsnutter Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Well the date is still up in the air, as this is just a feeler (to gauge interest ... see if this is going to be a reality or not). Once we figure out if there is an interest, we can start tossing dates and times around.*off topic but you're a mankato-an as well? You fish around here much?

MinnesnowtaWild Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 But at 10 PM they close the gates so I was just wondering if they would maybe let us stay there a little while after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry FlatCaster Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Rob Rushing..... I would have never pegged you as a Justin Timberlake lover.. You Sally....

rushing Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Stam has been tryin to get me to listen to Timberlake for a couple of years now. He is such a big fan the first thing he did with his new boat is to put a sticker of his beloved JT on it. I just chalked it up to him being an Iowan. I say what ever floats your boat and Timberlake seems to float his! Larry - I have most of May and June off so we'll have to hook up.

DTro Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I tell ya what, Justin is a cool cat. It was nice of him to make it to our gathering a few years ago. I know someone who was having a ball with him: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanson Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I remember that gathering well!!Besides JT, that was the gathering where Harvey Lee's boat almost got crushed by a tree. Thought I heard the tree was still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanson Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Stam34... you getta new boat? I got your text and completely forgot about it. If you still have those Ram holders, I'll be more than willing to take them off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushing Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yeah, Larry hopping on his back and yelling "Justin is bringing sexy back!" as he rode him around the boat landing was definitely a highlight of the gathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
