It was good turnout and great to see you all there.

A Big Thanks to all of you and our sponsors along with Denny's Resort for being a great host for the Event and the Fish Fry afterwards. It was sooo good.

[walleyejon]

My thanks as well for everyone's hard work. I really enjoyed seeing a bunch of familiar faces, along with getting to meet quite a few more folks that I've only known through these FM pages. See ya at the Lake of the Woods event----I can't wait.

[Matt Johnson]

Without a doubt, an excellent time up there this past weekend! I got the chance to meet a lot of new people, of which we've already planned a few more fishing outings I also got to chat with a lot of past friends and fishing partners.

Fishing was a little tough, but a lot of fish were still caught none the less. Bryan Sathre (beef) landed a nice pike to add to Jones' and his 1st place finish...

Nice fish beef!

The fish fry was again outstanding! The people at Denny's sure know how to put on a feast! Thanks Pat and Rhonda for all the hard work this past weekend, it's always interesting putting up with the IceLeaders crew

I would also like to thank everyone who helped out and attended the event. What a great way to kick-off the 2006 IceLeaders season!

[Captain B.R.K]

A HUGE thank you to all our sponsor's who help put this show on the ice!

Though the fish didn't bite as well as I had hoped, getting a chance to chat and meet a lot of new faces was fun.

I have a couple questions. First off, How much is the lodging while we are up there? Second is how much does it cost to rent a shack from the resort if I don't find one by then?

[Rick]

It depends on where you get lodging at.

Here is the Resort Locator with Lake of the Woods resorts Included - CLICK HERE.

[hanson1287]

Thanks Rick I got all the information I needed.

[Dennis Steele]

There is only a few days left for online registrations. If you haven't registered yet....git-er-done!

LOTW should be a good event and we always have a good time.

Come on up and try and compete for fun and some extra $$$$.

[goin fishin]

My question is if Zippel's bay resort is located deep within the bay. I bought the lakemaster LOW which only includes one big reef (flat) coming out of the LOW. I want to plot some spots before hand to fish on, but if the resort is located deep within the bay, it was not done by lakemaster. I guess my question is "where exactly is zippel bay resort located at?" By the Matt, Ya hey der, myself, and minnesotafishinguy will be there for the event.

Chow for now,

GF

[fiskyknut]

Hey der, yes the resort is within the bay, a mile or so from the mainlake on the east branch.

Dan,

This should be a fun weekend. It will be nice to see all of you again. I saw John this past weekend, but it's been months since the rest of us got together. Stop by Zippel Bay Resort friday night if you're not busy. Several of us will be there and we can catch up a little...

[LaZyDayZ]

Hey all,

I am going to be on LOW 3/9-3/12 not really prepared on this trip for working the fish for a tourny. Bringing up my shack and travel with it on the lake will be difficult and minnimal.

I will be going out of Zippel early Friday morning.

If you see a Blue 8x16 Grand Lodge with a Red F150 stop by and say hi I will keep a pot of coffee on for any visitors.

I will also try to get into the resort and meet a few of you Friday or Saturday night.

If we can navigate the lake with the house and the rest of my party agrees we will come up and register at the door.

Good Luck!

PS. If your on the lake with a CB I keep mine on channel 15, give me a shout.

[marine_man]

All right everyone.. this event is only 3 days away... who's coming? Where are you staying?

I'll be coming up sometime late Friday afternoon and don't plan on getting to the lake early enough to do some fishing before hand... IFFWALLEYES and I will be staying at the Patch in Warroad... but could be convinced to meet some FM'ers at a bar in the area on Friday night... as long as things didn't get too out of hand

If only these next couple of days would fly by...

[Paul Waldowski]

Dude,

The lodge at Zipple Bay will be where it's at

[metrojoe]

Unfortunately I'm going to miss this one. Have fun guys and I'm looking forward to reading the reports.

It's not all bad though, I'll still be out fishing. It will just be from a boat.

[JohnMickish]

We will be staying in Baudette, but will probably hit Zipple resort to have a few beers with you "pros". Maybe get you to hung over to fish!! Marine Man, try to find me sometime this weekend because I used to live in Lisbon and am curious about a few things.

[marine_man]

Sounds good mnfishingguy... We'll try and make it to Zipple Bay on Friday night...

marine_man

[JohnMickish]
