2011 GettoGator on Lake Winnie....December 16th-18th **UPDATED 10/2**

[bassNspear]

were getting close. Hopefully it stays cold.

[fishuhalik]

This should start making some ice. Not as cold as I'd like to see but it's a start. At least we should be able to drive wheelers out. Trucks, not so sure...

I am bringing my fish fryer saucer. I can deep fry fish, potatos, mushrooms, onions or what ever else we have.

I can make chili for Saturday on the ice.

[MJ1657]

I heard from a fairly reliable source that Dixon's is putting some houses out on Thursday. They have three inches of ice out from the landing.

[bassNspear]

MJ, i hope your right, cuz im getting very excited to get up there.

I was going to call them today to find out whats going on as far as ice goes, but thanks for this information.

[bassNspear]

i got the weapon ready for the LORD TROPHY

[bowhunt]

I don't know, I think the Nord Lord Trophy would look really good sitting on the shelf behind my bar. It's time for one of the new guys to take the trophy from these Veterans of the sport, hopefully it will be me.

[Gordie]

all I have to say is you young guns got a chance casue I wont be there. as this is how I came to give up the trophy in the first place good luck to all that try. Dealer has it now..

[bassNspear]

[PGF]

[Laska]

Kinda both normaly get there unpack then get out n set up.

I believe BNS when he say the weapon is ready

Seriously is it time yet time is dragging..... need...to...spear!!!

[hawkeye43]

Laska, bring that perch along when you come to winne.

How in the world you ever sit still in a spear house, worse than a little kid, " Dad, are we there yet"

[MJ1657]

Maybe we should meet up for pizzas and a few beverages at Dixon's Friday night.

sounds good to me!!! i think we are staying there? dont know i wasnt in charge of that trip.

[bassNspear]

Hey everyone,

Here is the tenative plan as far as the weekend goes.

From what i have gathered, most people are going to show up on friday, and get set up, which is what laska and i will be doing, as we will be coming from another lake, that i am sure we will have sore shoulders from!

So with that in mind, lets all meet up on friday night for pizzas. We can pick the biggest cabin that is there, or is someone wants to say we can us there cabin, that is find to. Everyone is in charge of bringin there own pizza so we all make sure we have food.

Saturday.

We will all go out on the lake, and spear all day as we usally do. We will have the big meal like we usally do at 11:30 am. Place will be picked friday night over pizza. Everyone please bring a dish.

Please post here what you are bringing, so people have an idea.

Saturday night

Poker Tournament. Yes, i will be there to win it all again, as i am the champ from last year. Should be a good time. I already have all the poker chips packed up and ready to go. so were good there. Cabin for this will be picked on Friday night

Sunday

Hit the lake again in the morning, and spear till 1 pm. Giveaways and trophy presentation will giving for the new LORD TROPHY. Photos will be taken of the whole group and so on.

Again, if anyone has any questions about the event, please let ME know. Its going to be a fun and excited weekend with all you guys again.

[MJ1657]

What do you think about having pizzas at Dixon's bar/restaurant friday night? Give them a little business

[bassNspear]

im fine with that. if were going to do that, i should give them a call and let me know.

Thoughts everyone??

[fishuhalik]

i'm cheap so i like byob/pizza, but if everyone wants to hit the bar i'll join

[fishuhalik]

bns, have you heard a water clarity report? it can be REAL slow if the water's churned up

[bassNspear]

all i have heard is that they are able to see in 8 fow

[MJ1657]

I'm up for anything. When I booked our cabin I was told 5 would be a fairly tight fit so not sure how big ours is.

[bassNspear]

i like the idea of having them do it, just so we have so much more room, and can talk to everyone.

[MJ1657]

Good plan

[Laska]

Agreed.

[bowhunt]

That sounds good to me. When is everyone planning on getting there on Friday. I don't have a wheeler, so i will need some help getting to where ever we are going to set up at. The GTG can't get here soon enough with the lack of ice around the cities.
