Backwater Brawl 2005, NOW - February 19, 2005

[Deitz Dittrich]

Because of the really low forcasted temperatures for Saturday morning.. Crappie Tom and I have decided to Change the date of the Backwater Brawl 2005 from this weekend to its new date Feb 19th, 2005.

Its not that we are wimpy, its just that these get togeathers are about getting to know each other and meet people from the board. This becomes hard when the temperatures are below 0... Also, hopefully more can make it on the 19th of Feb. It will give you more time to practice your hook setting skills between now and then!!

Sounds good Deitz.

I wasn't going to be able to make the Brawl this weekend. Hope it will work out for me in February.

I'm pumped for this event....on Feb 19th.

See you all there.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Ditto Buzz... Them crappies should be shaking in thier fins just knowing were comming for them!

[jeffyo45]

Where is this taking place at? I would assume the backwaters of a river, presumably the Mississippi. I hope I can make it!

[Dan Thiem]

Jeffy-

Just after you cross the bridge from Wabasha to Nelson. That's what we call the dike road. Look for the parking lot on the right.

[HoleHopper]

Ok, I'll bite!

what would it take to be a part of this brawl? or where can I find more info?

[CrappieJohn]

Holehopper...Chech out the thread in the Miss. River forum 4-11 titled "Event Question". All of the low-down on this can be found there. Cost is free, just show up. This has no formal protocol...it is just a few of the pro staff inviting everyone to come down and let us get to know who we are talking to on site....and vice-versa. Instruction on where to locate this event are on that forum/thread. Read up...reply there. Thanks for the interest! Put it on your calendar!

Are we going to be show some decent spots/fishing? OR will we be on our own. I don't mind hanging out and talking, but would rather be fishin'.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Jumbo- We will be working as a team to find the fish.. Some of the people there(like Crappie Tom) will be familiar with the area.. We will deffinatly help point you in the right direction.. I myself have never been there and will need help as well... Do come and join the fun!

[HoleHopper]

Thanks Crappie Tom, OFF TO THE MISS FORUM I GO!

Here are a little more detailed directions...

Backwater Brawl 2005 on Feb 19th, 2005. 8am to whenever at the Pontoon slough.

Directions: Take 61 out of RedWing south to Wabasha. While still a two lane, take the first left exit into Wabasha. Go until you have to stop. It will be a three way stop. Take a left there and cross high bridge and continue to second parking area on right.

It's going to be fun and possibly those 14" slabs are biting if not a big pike or two will be fun.
