2014 Late season Get-to-Gator

[Gordie]

Place: Borden Lake, west of Garrison Mn

Date & Time: Saturday February 15th, Meet at the access 8 am or meet on the lake.

What to bring: Spearing stuff and positive attitude, and a open mind to having a great time on the ice.

We can figure out as time goes by if we want to do a BBQ on the ice and some sort of pot luck type thing.

See ya on the Ice

I could bring a grill but what about a boil of some kind? Im not a food prep guy but would something like that work? I have a turkey fryer that I could bring.

Just a thought....

[Gordie]

We could do like we have done at the cattin on the chain GTG and have a fish fry. We could clean some fish that we get along with bring some to the lake. just a thought.

Is this event open to everyone?

[Gordie]

Is this event open to everyone?

YES the more the more fun!

[rockman]

Sounds good. Being a spearing rookie, I could learn a thing, or two, from attending this event. My work schedule needs to get worked out first.

[hawkeye43]

I pretty sure I could be there. As we get closer I will know more. I could make a pot of chili, if you got a cooker to heat it up.

[MJ1657]

Has anyone heard any reports on clarity or travel conditions on the ice? I might be able to make a day trip up there and check it out.

[Gordie]

Last I heard the ice was great and the water clarity is good I also would like to get up that way and with any luck next week I will hopefully make the trip.

[Gordie]

I will be up that way for a family get together on the dead sea next weekend and will go check it out and report kick out a few reports.

I have this weekend off how are we plaining this all bring separate houses or try to get as many people in couple houses. I have a clam base camp and can do one big hole or 2 smaller ones and fish 4~6 guys out of

[Gordie]

Typically each brings there own, but you can always plan it out with others to make it work.

this is for anyone, even those who don't spear and would like to check it out.

[hillbilly...]

[MJ1657]

If you need some gear let us know. I have enough for a couple extra people and I know other guys that will be there will have extra stuff. I have a spare house as well for anyone to use if they need.

[hillbilly...]

Wow cool...i let you guys know. Who is from that area that the lake is by im just wondering how it was chosen

[MJ1657]

We should probably get someone out there to check travel conditions. According to Garrison Sports they didn't think anyone was driving out because of the slush and deep snow. I never take them reports real serious until I see or hear something first hand. I'm stuck down south but I know Gordie said he was maybe going to try and get out there this weekend.

[MJ1657]

Wow cool...i let you guys know. Who is from that area that the lake is by im just wondering how it was chosen

We used to do a poll with I believe 3 different lakes and you could vote on it. Problem with that was a zillion people voted (I believe a lot were for the wrong reasons)and a lot of them had no intention of showing up. The last couple years we all just kind of discussed what lake and chose one.

Each year we have a gtg the first weekend in December on Third River Flowage(Winnie)at Dixon Lake Resort.

[hillbilly...]

Father inlaw has cabin up by perham and he said slush is keeping them off the lake.

[Gordie]

I am going to be up that way on Saturday and I'm going to the lake to check it out if its no good we can choose another lake.
