[Northlander]

Ya Ok Tom. Your buying all us drillers Breakfast right?

[SKIPPERS KID]

Steve last year the Kiwanis paid we will see??????.

[Agent Andy]

Thanks guys for all volunteering to drill holes again for us. We really only need 10 people to drill holes (same as last year) and we will again give one free ticket to 10 guys and you buy one. Last year one of our members paid for your breakfast bill and I didn't check with him if he is doing that again this year. See all Saturday. Thanks again.

[Northlander]

Thanks for the update Agent Andy. Introduce yourself to me on Sat morning will ya? I would like to put a face to the name.

Sorry Tonyvats looks like your son and yourself arent needed to drill holes this year but thanks for the attempt. I hope you still come and fish with us. See everyone on Saturday.

[hunterlaker]

are we allowed to drive out there? I saw on the pamphlet that says no cars allowed....

[Northlander]

WE have always been allowed to drive out but park outside the boundries. No houses allowed though.

[hunterlaker]

Thats what I thought See you tomorrow for b-fast northlander, peidmont gave me the flag to fly!

[Northlander]

Cool! Lets set up same place as last year. We seemed to catch fish there and Vic lost 1 there that would have won it.

[hunterlaker]

Sounds good, I'll have Tonyvat(my brother) get our spot

[PiedmontAngler]

Sorry I won't be there to defend my "I almost won this dang thing" title. Good luck to all the FM'ers fishing. Hope you have a GREAT day for fishing. Is this one of those need not be present to win contests? I might chance something and buy a ticket if that's the case. You never know what year the prizes won't all be filled.

[Surface Tension]

Have fun and good luck.

[Northlander]

Ok all drillers meet at Eagles Nest at 8am tomorrow. We will have breakfast and discuss our plan of attack as well as getting tickets filled out etc. Then we will head over to the fishing area and pop holes until we run out of room.

Frank get your butt up there and fish man!

Looks like a few from HSO made off with a few of the prizes

Something tells me there will be a few augers at the swap meet this year

[Northlander]

Sold mine 3 seconds after I won it. Probably would have won another one if I would have used my second ticket more wisely. Oh well what would I do with a auger or more fishing gear anyways.

It was fun even though it was very cold.

To any Kiwanis members. I think if its below 10 degrees you should allow shelters. They wouldnt be allowed to be set up until 5 minutes before fishing time. I believe thats why there were so few people yesterday. People werent going to sit out in the open in 10 below weather.

Agent Andy or anyone else who has questions on how to do this can e-mail me. I also have some questions about next years drill team.

[hunterlaker]

A fun COLD time! the area needs to be half the size, and the augers need to be ready.....one thing not to forget is your flasher!Thanks to BD110 for letting me use his spare!

[BD110]

diggerodell,

Thanks for allowing my wife and myself the opportunity to volunteer for the drill team. We know the efforts of the Cloquet Kiwanis will help many people. Congrats also on your first post on HSO I look forward to hearing more from you. We also look forward to being a part of the last chance event next year.

hunterlaker,

Very happy to lend you the use of my spare LX3. I've seen it many times while fishing with the HSO crew. People will bend over backwards to help each other out if we have something to spare.

[Agent Andy]

Sorry for the late response, I left early Sunday am for a week of fishing lake trout in Canada(had great fishing). Thanks to all that helped out drilling holes and to everyone that fished. Thanks for the suggestions for next year, they will go in my notes for the 2012 contest. If anyone wants to call me to discuss how to make the contest better, please feel free to call me at my office. The # is 879-4581.

[Northlander]

Andy did you get my e-mail?
