MN Gathering Roll Call!!

[hanson]

OK guys. I'm putting together final plans and a final roll call for the Mankato Cat Gathering.

#1- If you plan on attending. Please post on this thread. It would be nice to get a good list of people who are going to be there.

#2- List if you are shorefishing or boat fishing. Maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to hook up some shorebound anglers with some boat anglers.

#3- When are you planning to be there? Day/time or whatever you may know.

So here's the list of those planning to attend:

-Rushing

-icehousebob

-AQUAJOE

-hanson (camping Friday & Saturday nights)

-dragon master

-stam34

-Dennis Steele (Saturday night fishing)

-Dark30 (is bringing the monkey)

-Kurt Paulsen (riding w/ Dennis)

-Papa Grump

-dtro

-harvey lee (Saturday night fishing)

-Fisher Dave & family (tentative)

-Fish 'n Guy

-honky kong

-blacksportsman

-Buzbunni & FishinLogician (Team Buzlogic) Tentative so far

#4- Bait Post here as well with requirements for bait. Most of us are probably covered but if you are not, let us know. I plan on a bullhead mission this week. Mine are really FAT 7" bullheads. I can't believe how FAT and lively they are for 7". Or maybe someone chopped the first 2" off my tape measure off.

Rob- Didn't want to hijack your other thread but figured we need to get final plans and people in one location.

[DTro]

Not officially finalized yet, but prelimary plans puts myself and Harvey Lee in the shuttle. Not sure what the time planned for arriving is, but I wouldn't mind showing up a little early on Sat to shoot the breeze with everyone and maybe round up some grub

[hanson]

I forgot to add...

I'll bring my propane grill with, plenty big to cook lots of stuff. (if needed)

[Dennis Steele]

You can remove the question mark behind my name. I'm there saturday during the day and spending the night on the river.

You'all just had to set this on the same date as the get together on the LOTW. I'd love to do this one as I mentioned some weeks back when the dates were still up in the air, but I'm obligated to the one at LOTW. It's been about twenty years since I have caught a Flatheaded Mudcat and I've yet to fish 'em in MN. Maybe next year I will dare to wander down south of the URL.

Have fun and no sword fights.

Sure first Hijack my fishing spot now my thread!!!

I'll be fishing with dragon fri and sat. Stam will be up on friday too. I know of 4-5 Mankato FMers that will be there on sat as well.

I am bringing brauts and buns and I think Stam said he was gonna be bringing some stuff to throw on the grill too.

[harvey lee]

I have Matts party to hit first for just a bit and then I will be there.What time is it going to start?I may just make it in time to fish and not eat.I will probably make it by 5.

DTRO--Shoot me a e-mail and we can get a plan together.

Is the size limit on bullheads 8"

Should I bring some bigger suckers with?

[Kurt Paulsen]

I can try to bring some bullheads along if people need any. I will also not be there until later in the evening. Probably between 7-9 sometime. I have to go to a wedding, but i am going to ditch out of that ASAP...

[honky kong]

if i can get someone to cover my shift saturday night at work, i'll be there between 6 and 7.

[hanson]

I think we've got a pretty solid list guys.

I've still got question marks by dtro & Papa Grump but Darren is catching bullheads and Tom Hatlestad is riding with them so they must be in for sure now.

Fisher Dave is still tentative so we'll just look for him to show up late on friday and show us where the flatheads are at.

Manny?? blacksportsman?? Were you coming to this?

[blacksportsman]

The future Mrs. Blacksportsman and I are planning on attending, barring any unforseen circumstances. We'll be arriving Saturday afternoon and fishing throughout Saturday evening. As far as I know, we'll be fishing from shore.

Looking forward to see you all there

[harvey lee]

Hanson

Yes,DTRO has bullheads and I am coming and we are in the Grumps shuttle.

[Fish'n guy]

I'll be there somewhere around 6-7pm and fishing throughout the night. Friday I'll be out all night as well. See ya'll there!!

[Papa Grump]

Tom -I'm not sure on when the Shuttle service will be there, most definatly by 6:00 though.I will let Dtro know at work on Friday. The girls are giving me a hard time on missing their races this weekend with all the changes I made to the karts for this week.Dang racing, that's probably why Dark's monkey has been riding around on my back lately .

[harvey lee]

Papa

When you get there then you get there.I can wait a little while,no problem.I understand the racing as you know.

Dtro has bullheads and I'am bringing a dozen along with approx a doxen suckers from 7-11 inches.

[Fish'n guy]

Happy B-Day!

Guess we'll have to "shower" you with gifts this weekend.

[hanson]

I get to go catch bait tonight on my birthday which isn't so bad. Bullhead is a member of the catfish family so I can say I'm going cattin'. Tried to get the bait collecting duty done last night but them buggers weren't cooperating, only got 10 nice ones. Them darn green carp kept stealing my bait. Accidentally caught 6 walleyes fishing for bullheads last night. They were all under 13" but what the heck!

[mplspug]

You get confused looks too when you mumble under your breath and release the walleyes in disgust, while getting all gitty when catching a nice bully?

Happy Birthday.

[rushing]

Happy B-Day man!!!!

[dragon master]

Rob got bad news Was told I have to work overtime this weekend. No and's and if's about it. Sorry man. The only thing that helps the pain is knowing it's 18.00$ hr.

[icehousebob]

Okay, boys and girls. I picked up groceries for Sunday morning breakfast. The menu will include pancakes with cherries, blueberry syrup or pancake syrup, sweet rolls, eggs in several forms, sausage, bacon, or ham (and don't hog the meat ) and my world famous breakfast sandwiches. I dropped about 50 bucks on groceries, but I still have to know how many to expect.

I could use some help by having the first person there claiming a picnic table near the launch for me to set up my canopy and use for cooking. Also, anyone bringing a gas grill that I can put on a cast iron griddle for pancakes would be welcome. And someone will be shanghied to flip pancakes.

RULES: Kissing the cook is not encouraged unless you're female and young. And anyone ordering Eggs Benedict will become one with the river.

Help with the grocery bill would be accepted.
