Jaymo

Your plan would work just fine.

I sent you a pm

[gunner55]

The Hill in Squaw Lake has some rooms that they rent pretty reasonably.Not sure but it might even be closer than GDP

[mwal]

Who is bringing what to the Saturday pot luck? I can bring marinated venison if someone has a grill. It disappeared fast at the Borden lake late season GTG.

Mwal

[MJ1657]

I'll have my grill with. I'll probably bring some venison brats. Dealer is going to bring some bars.

If I remember right all the food at Borden disappeared fast....

[mwal]

ANy Idea how many are coming?

It will be myself and Jake

Mwal

[MJ1657]

As of right now somewhere around 20 people.

[Neighbor_guy]

I will have a small grill and a portable fire pit along as well.

Not sure what to bring for the lunch. If we are driving out I could do chili again. If not, maybe some sort of pasta or potato salad since Kevin is out.

[Neighbor_guy]

As of right now somewhere around 20 people.

I know there will be 3 in my truck: myself, the goose, and wanderer.

[MJ1657]

Dealer got an ice update thought I'd pass it along.

10 inches of ice straight out and 7 down by the Clay Banks. Water clarity is good.

[mwal]

Atv travel is on I assume. I will have a trailer that the atv can pull to help haul stuff. I am thinking of bringing my small perm in the trailer and towing out with atv.

[Neighbor_guy]

Let the countdown begin....

The Neighbor_guy bus is leaving in exactly 7days and 12min (give or take an hr)

[MJ1657]

Hopefully its not quite as cold as last year.

I'm anxiously waiting to head north.

[mwal]

Long range forecast for Deer River predicting lows in the teens mid 20's for highs about perfect for equipment and spearer alike. It's like waiting for Christmas.

[PGF]

Man that was cold last year!

[MJ1657]

Man that was cold last year!

Yes it was. I'm amazed nobody burned their atv up with all of the homemade tents made over them with propane heaters underneath.

[Jaymo99]

Finally found a place to stay. We will bring a pack of brats/buns to add to the mix. also some kind of dessert. and a cooler full of beverages. this time I'll leave it in a central location so everyone can help themselves through-out the weekend.

[MJ1657]

Glad to hear you're going to make it Jaymo.

[bowhunt]

I am planning on bringing a pasta salad like I have the last few years. I dug out my spearing gear yesterday and I can't wait to cut a hole and get the decoys wet. I will be up mid to late morning on Friday.

[Jaymo99]

hi, so I was trying to find a lake map on line this morning, and confused, are Dixon lake and 3rd river flowage the same? it looks like 3rd river flowage attaches to Winnie and Dixon is a couple miles away.

if we are on 3rd river flowage on Winnie, does anyone have a gps address I can punch in my car gps to get to the access Friday afternoon. I was planning on just entering Dixon resort. but now not sure if that's right.

[MJ1657]

Dixon lake and the flowage are separate. They are a few miles apart. I don't know the GPS coordinates but its easy to get there from Dixon's. Give me a call and I'll tell you how to get there.

[Wanderer]

This oughtta be interesting.

Matt extended the invitation and I didn't want to pass it up. I'm looking forward to learning about this sport and experiencing this event with you guys! I love staring down fish holes but never tried spearing before. Well, onto a new addiction!

Look forward to meeting you. It will be a good time.

[Neighbor_guy]

Well based on the weather predictions and the favorable ice reports I am leaning hard towards making chili again. It will be a little tricky, but it should be way better than the burnt turkey frier chilly from last year.

[PGF]

I think rengel is going to make some tuna salad, might bring some lil smokies

[mrklean]

Looks like the weather is going to be 60 degrees warmer this year
