I, along with Tom, have been searching high and low for lodging/camping possibilities for this event. Besides the Cross Lake Corp of Engineer campground (can't have more than 1 truck and 1 boat, and some other reasons to not stay there) there is an option for all of us to camp at the Fifty Lakes Campground which is 7 miles from the town of Cross Lake.

I have spoken to the owner of FFC and so far I have temporarily reserved the last 7 campsites available for us, and we can double up campsites if we run out of space. These sites include water and electric.

We have until Monday, April 25th to give me an answer to them and send in a $20 deposit.

Camping is $20 per night and I am holding for 2 nights, Friday and Saturday nights, June 3-4th. Check out is 2pm but they are willing to extend time for us to return after the event to pack-up, if they do not have any bookings on Sunday.

Please get ahold of me and let me know if you are interested. Then we can send in a deposit to them.

Yes, do it for sure. We can decide later which access to use, but I would say our closest and best choice would be the one on the South end of Cross. The Big Trout access would be closer, but it is limited and can be a pain.

Just let me know how many nights you would like, I just held for 2 nights.

In order to keep it straight for the campground, send $20 to me and I'll try to keep it all in order. Throw me an email for my mailing address.

Everyone signed up for this event should have received an email from me also.

Seriously....

Last year the largest largemouth bass in the tourney Toad and I fish weighed over 7lbs.

An average bag of 5lb largemouth is not out of the question on the chain, and since this is me and Deitz we are talking about here, 6.5 is pretty realistic grin.gif

I just plan on placing by bringing in panfish grin.gif I was just laying out the options for you smile.gif...

I hope we see some 6 pound-plus largies caught, I don't even care if I'm the one who catches them (but, I wouldn't complain if Brian caught a few piggies). I've never fished the chain and I've heard a lot of good things about it, should be a lot of fun!

Good Fishin,

Matt Johnson

I would be very content losing to a limit of 6.5#ers.

Some of those "accident" fish lead to some of the beast times I've had fishing last year. It was fun bieng able to just go with it, small adjustments and add to the catch. Hog Walleyes on spinnerbaits anybody? grin.gif

The Chain is full of options for a Multi event. I like this choice alot. With this much water to think about it would be nice to nail down an access soon. It will play a big part into the strategy planning of a day and where is it worth running to.

Put me down for Saturday night. Prefishing? That's for amatuers. Real fisherman just Know where they'll be. tongue.gif

BTW, If we're allowing Deitz to weigh bass, how many carp can I weigh? They're practicly the same thing. Right? grin.gif

Brian,

The access has been nailed down. It will be the one on the south end of Cross Lake. They expanded it last year and there is a good sized overflow lot now. It is the closest, best access. It's a little tricky to find, but we'll get directions soon. It's also on the "Recreation Finder" option on the DNR HSOforum.

There was a slight miscommunication with the campground. There is a minimum of 2 night stay for reserving a site on a weekend.

I have reserved 4 teams for 2 nights. (Myself, Matt/BDR, Ron/Steve, Paul/Kevin).

There are 3 sites left for us to reserve for Friday and Saturday nights.

If some teams are 100% against staying 2 nights, you may be out of luck for availability.

I am trying to work with the owners to let us double up if necessary for Saturday nights, but it will still cost just about the same if you rent a full site, $18 EXTRA for 4 guys per site with 2 tents, for a total of $38. I haven't received full word on it yet. I apologize for the mishap.

Chuck,

So that's $18 a night?

See if there is another team that we can double up with that is staying both nights. I would take one if worse came to worse, but hate having to drive up separate.

See what you can do....
