Update... *The Recap**

[Slyster]

I must back out too... should have asked the wife earlier. Hope it pans out for you all.. and hope to attend more events next summer. Thanks for the hospitality!

[musky hunter]

Well, it's official, I must open the plant this weekend so I can't go. I really wanted to do this Dietz, hope you all have a very nice time and catch a pile of bass.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Bummer that you all cant make it.. for anybody else.. I'll still be out there.

I have a white Triton, if you see me, please stop and say hi... If you do fi[PoorWordUsage].. keep your largest bass or take a good pict of it on a digital camera and get a good weight of it...

[Doufish2]

My plan is to be there. I have never been on the lake, but what the heck. All I need to do is find a white Triton=fish! Will be in a white Ranger. See ya there.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Dou- I'll look forward to meeing you.. For those interested, bring your little hand held radios and turn them on to channel 7.0

Again, Please try to put something Red in your boat.. to mark that you are a FishingMinnesota boat... I'll probably hit the water about 8am? weigh in your biggest fish at 3pm.. Winner will hold the title of FM Big bass Champion.

Hey is that off Olinda trail?

[Deitz Dittrich]

Yes.. take Olinda Trail to 295th St... its only about a block and a half east of Olinda Trl.

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Well I couldnt make it, no one at work could cover my shift.

Looks like you guys have a nice day. Hope their is a good bite for everyone. Cant wait to read the reports.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Its my pleasure to introduce to you, your FishingMinnesota.com Fall Big Bass Gettogether champion for 2006...

Robert E. Lee

Who broght a 1lb 10oz monster to the scales.

uhhhh yep, thats not a typo

Fishing conditions were more than a little tough.. South Center lake had its dreaded fall turn over within the last few days. The high pressure added to said above roll over to produce some of the hardest fishing conditions you could face. I myself caught a hand full of fish, but didn't even bring one to the scale. Robert and I did talk to another boater(not with FM) who said they boated a 5lb fish..I called him a liar.. LOL...

It was a pleasure meeting you Robert... For Mr.Lees prize he recieved thousands of pennies worth of funtabulous gear. he walked away with a brand spanking new Mr.Twister Visior, a couple of packs of Comidas, and a couple of JB Spinnerbaits...

It was also very nice to spend part of the day with Ham and his boat partner Bill(not an FM member, we will cut him some slack because he doesnt have a computer). I did my best to put you guys on some fish... but to no abail... you did get the one good decent bass to take a swipe at your lure...I guess that goes to prove not only can I not bring the bass to the lure, but I cant make it eat either...

And always nice to spend some time with you Chisago Docksitter!

Thanks to all that showed intrest in this.. maybe if I get the gumption up again next year I will have another of these get togethers!

[Ham]

Deitz I could not thank you enough for the fishing tip and great laughs about well you know. Getting two fish in the boat not that bad for the conditions. Drop me e-mail if you ever see any good deals.

Thanks Again!

Ham

[RobertELee]

Once again, thank you Dietz for putting this on and the many prizes awarded. It was great to finally meet and talk with you. Hopefully next year we will be able to find a better weekend where more people could join us, and I can defend my title . Ham and Docksitter, it was unfortunate that you both had to leave early, it would have been nice to meet you also. Oh and we can pretend that the bass in my avatar is the one that won the contest, can't we...

[TurnUpTheFishing]

Lets see pics of that pig!

Sound like fishing wasnt too good but I still wish I could have made it out there. Next year.
