Wanted - FM'ers to Share Lodging for Slabfest


Recommended Posts

Ok,

Here's the deal. We will be staying at Battle River Lodge. This lodge is located just a few minutes from the south end of Upper Red. It is possible to snowmobile to the lake from our location as a State Trail runs right by the lodge.

We will have room for a total of 8-9 guys. Cost will be $60 per guy for the weekend. You can arrive Friday late afternoon and we will checkout Sunday a.m. This is going to be a great time and you will not want to miss this event. I will take the first 8 for sure and possible one more. This lodge has a full kitchen and I figured if everyone brought just one item per say...for 8 guys we would have food for everyone for the trip. I can coordinate that is it gets closer. For those that wish to join us, confirm here by responding to this thread and then also e-mail me so I have an e-mail address for you.

What kind of "package" are we talking about? Do you have any kind of details yet. If you don't want to commit to anything I understand that you're still putting things together. You can email me at [email protected] if you want to share some ideas. I definately would like to hang out with the FM crew some more this year.

Last year I stayed on the lake in a rental perm from Mort's. It was my buddy and I's first time in a sleeper shack and we loved it. I'm not sure I'd want to stay off the lake at night. We caught lots of fish in the evening and overnight.....fish we can keep this year.

I'm talking about a cabin that a) either sits just off of the lake, or B) sits on the shore of the lake. Either option would allow people to come and go as they please, while doing it in relative comfort and would allow us to do things as a group. I'm currently looking for places that would be close enough that we could sled or wheeler on and off the lake. I'm currently looking for places and trying to put something together so nothing is yet set in stone smile.gif Just trying to gauge interest

I just took a look at the dates and I'm interested in being part of this group. Lodging at that cost and hanging out with fellow FMer's.....PRICELESS!

SlabFest 2006 was a blast and this year should only be better because walleye season will still be open.

Either the craps or eyes should be willing to bite for us!

February 24th is the date of Slabfest on Upper Red Lake.

I haven't made an "official" post or flyer yet but it will be coming. I mean, geez, its only like 4 months away still! blush.gif

Slabfest is about hanging out, meeting some folks, having fun, and hopefully catching some crappies. The more folks that can turn this into a weekend deal, the more fun it'll be! wink.gif

Last winter we had pretty good success on the crappies even though every single truck got stuck multiple times. We just took turns yanking each other out of the snow banks. smile.gif

Stay tuned for more "official" details although it appears lodging options in the area are filling up very, very fast!

I think you and iff sit there and wait for me to post just so you can give me dump.

Silly me; I was thinking a URL get together would be listed in either the URL or Get-together forums.

Go figure. That weekend happens to be the weekend I'm making an honest woman of walleyechar out in Vegas....I wonder if she'ld let me reschedule???? KIDDING, I suppose you two already copied and emailed that comment to her. Anyway, you'll have to pick on someone else that weekend. Maybe you can talk Wiskers into going. Have fun.

the whole smart as a bass angler might be a stretch what do think Walleyejon. It is too bad you won't be able to make Jon. I will catch up with you here in Dec. hopefully I will be up to heaven at least one weekend in Dec.

I got a feeling slabfest is going to be a really good time this year. I know I am already looking foward to it and it is 4 months away. But it will be here soon enough. I can't wait.
