Patti -

I had hoped to have the day off as well, but the boss needs that day off as well. Sooooooooo - just a little late in getting up there.

Someone got some fishing in! Where'd you go Patti?

[Debbie K]

PLEASE don't hate me!!

After getting extremely bad news about our boat and trying to juggle $$, I am going to have to back out of the GTG. The motor on the boat went out opening fish weekend, and if we get it fixed now, the mfg. will supply the new power head at no charge, but we have to pay labor. Sorry girls.

[Patti]

Nadine - great news that you've decided to go!!

Sorry you're not gonna make it Debbie. I was

looking forward to meeting you

Lisa - dad and I just went to Spring Lake in Prior Lake.

One of the only 2 lakes I can get him to go to. He's kinda

stuck in his ways - in fact, took forever to talk him into changing to a lure color close to mine (I had caught 4 fish up to that point) - but caught his walleye about 5 min. after he changed it up.

[Gary Crichton]

Hey Patti was just their last nite.

G.C.

[Debbie K]

Patty - not as sorry as I am. I too was looking forward to meeting everyone.

[Patti]

Have any luck Gary? Wondering if the eyes come any bigger than 11 1/2". BTW, dad lives in west richfield..over off 69th & Penn.

[gregg52]

i grew up in savage use to fish on prior some

lucked into some nice walleyes 22-24 inch a couple times bobber fishing out in front of what was then freddies

theres a hump that come up to bout 7-8 ft in the evenings

but not sure bout spring dont think i ever fished on that

[Gary Crichton]

Patti wow small world. I am on the east side, by Frenchmans.

Ya we did real well Monday nite. Took my 21 year old daughter and a neighbor. We lost count at around 75 crappies and 4 sunfish. No walleyes. All fish were C&R. We did this in less than 3 hours. It was a blast. No real size yet, as all the crappies were between 6-9 1/2 inchers.

G.C.

[Patti]

Dad keeps any crappies over 9 1/2" so if we could have caught some of those...

Don't worry about, stuff happens. Maybe the next one, we usually try to get together several times a year. I know how you feel, we just sunk $800 into our truck and now it has something else wrong with it.

[Gary Crichton]

Well there wasn't to many at that size, maybe 5 or 6. Still a lot of fun.

[Debbie K]

There may be hope afterall - the mfg will cover most of the labor cost for the boat repair. We were looking at close to $1,500 in getting the boat fixed - huge weight came off the shoulders.

Providing nothing else breaks down or falls apart between now and the GTG, I think I can swing it.

[Patti]

Very cool Debbie!!

Keep us posted.

[hopeforfish]

I hope you can make it Debbie. I can not wait for this GTG to happen, I need to hang out with the girls and laugh until I hurt and tears are running down my face.

Hope

OK Gals - less than two weeks away!

Musky will be open by then. I got some new cowgirls last year that I haven't tried yet. I will be bringing them along and cast my arms off for the elusive musky.

If anyone has the gear and wants to fish for them, bring it along. I'd love to have the company in the boat.

[muskybait]

I would love to do some musky fishing,as of right now I am having trouble with my boat motor and not sure if it will be fixed by then. Lets keep our fingers crossed. and if you let me in your boat again...lol I still owe you a wash...

[Patti]

Char - I've never been fishing for musky...so at the very least I'd love to learn something about it....
