Minnesota River Cat Gathering - Carver

[CANOPY SAM]

Canopy + son + (daughter?) + 4 = 6 (maybe 7)

[wastewaterguru]

Canopy's got the idea.....Catfish and wife are included in his total.

Who else is coming??? (Fishhead, Dark30, etc.???)

Who's gonna make the call for a rain out?? Weather forecast is Questionable, but a long way out yet.

------------------
I fish.....Therefore I grovel.

Here....Fisheeeeeeee!!

[Guest]

It does seem a little early but I'm fishing all day and night.
My wife may show up for lunch but I dought she will do any fishing so count me as one.

[wastewaterguru]

(Fishead) = 7 maybe 8

------------------
I fish.....Therefore I grovel.

Here....Fisheeeeeeee!!

[DARK30]

Me, Myself, and I = 3....If my imaginary friend comes...4 (too many for my boat)!

I wasn't planning on fishing right away at noon. Just a little lunch and some small talk. They have some nice horseshoe pits there too..anyone wanna take me on?

------------------
cast,cast,cast,cast......

[catfish1]

wastewaterguru; tryed to add name and wife to your list but it would not work for me. maybe you can do it for me.

Catfish1

[catfish1]

Dark30 I'm not very good but will give it a try. only get to play once or twice a year but do enjoy the game.

Catfish1

[wastewaterguru]

(Dark30) = 8 (maybe 12....canopy's daughter and darks 2 alteregos and his imaginary friend)

Maybe I'll get down there a little earlier....I still haven't gotten confirmation that I'm even gonna have a boat. I'll know by tonight.

[Dan97]

Howdy All...

Just talked to Cindy and she wants me to attend. She made the trip to Illinois just fine and wants me to collect some good "mojo" for her upcoming doctor's appointment.

If the time is still the same, I'll see ya around noon or so.

[DARK30]

Glad to hear you can make it Dan! I'll be there with a grill and Horseshoes around noon.

I wish Cindy could be there and I wish her all the luck....I sure hope things work out for you guys! I do pray...I think I should get back to the "thanks" instead of the "questions" and "I wants".

I think I'll probably fish from shore around the Train Bridge so if anyone is worried about not having a boat you won't get lonely!

WET NETS!

------------------
cast,cast,cast,cast......

[wastewaterguru]

I should be there around 1 or so....

I did get a boat. I'm not gonna get a chance to catch bait for the trip so I will probably just use live or dead suckers.

See y'all out there

Carver meeting - what is an estimated driving time from the Twin-Cities to this gathering? It's a 4 hour +/- drive from LDF to the cities. What I'm trying to decide is if I can leave early-morning drive over Sat. -or- drive Fri. night and stay in the area. Will not be bringing my boat Sounds like cut-bait and suckers are the baits of choice?

Looking forward to the event.

It's only 15 to 20 minutes west of the cities. I'd give ya directions, but I'd get ya lost. Fishhead or Dark30 would be better for directions.

From west bound 494 in Eden Prairie head south on hwy 212(south bound 494 exit on Valley view go east to south 212) through Chaska to south county road 40.When you get to the first stop in Carver turn left on Broadway,go two blocks and turn left on Main.Go under the bridge and over the dike and all the way back to the end of the park.

Bring some food to burn, something to drink, and some tall stories.

[Sarge]

All right guys, all this talk has got me thinking I better try to make it up for this!

[Guest]

Thanks guys for all the info. Sounds like an early morning departure Saturday will do it. I'll search around WI here to see if can find a few brats to burn Looking forward to a goodtime.

[wastewaterguru]

SArge, Bayou Bill, Dan97 = 11 maybe 12.

Fishhead, what are you gonna do for bait?? Are you gonna try to catch some chubs Saturday afternoon?

[DARK30]

Hey thanks Fish! My back is feeling alot better all of a sudden!

I went out Chubbing and got only a couple before the rain came in. I stopped in at 169 Sports in BP and Jason has a tank full of nice Chubs....I think he said $1 each.

[Guest]

Getting my chubs at 169 sports would be a heck of a lot easier.I spent most of yesterday driving around what seemed the whole state for just a few.

[CANOPY SAM]

Fishhead,
Your dedication to this event is nothing short of astounding! Thank you very much for your hard labor on the landing today - hopefully the rain won't wash the mud back in...
I've gotta have dinner with my in-laws tomorrow evenin'(according to the missus) so I'm probably not gonna be free to look for B'heads. Capn'Josh says we've got a few down here by the bait shop in Wac so I'll probably go down there Fri. late eve. or Sat morn.. We'll see ya' at the event!
I've got a brat and a beer for ya' Sat night if yer' interested - payment for your efforts. I'll even let ya' fondle the biggest flathead I catch on Sat night. Think we'll set up at the mouth of the Sand.

[Guest]

I looked and looked and I can't find any chubs north of the river!I did get a few but I think its bullhead time!
By the way I just got done shoveling a path 7feet wide 20 feet long and through 2 feet of river mud.YECHHHH!Its not a wide access but we will be able to launch boats at Carver!My arms are so tired I can barely type!

[wastewaterguru]

Fishhead,

For some reason, I had a feeling you'd be good at shoveling mud. Next time it might be to your benefit to post a request for assistance. Oh, wait.......I was doing my hair that night anyway.

I got to the office at 6 this morning so I should be able to meet you for some BH fishing anytime after 4. Let me know when you want to head out.

Here....Fisheeeeeeee!!

[Capt'nJosh]

The schools of bullhead that I was talking about was not at the baitshop on Waconia, it is at Nancy's landing about 2 blocks down. These are small bullheads 4-5 inches, is that what you were looking for? If so I'd be happy to meet you down there tonight to show you where they are. Just shoot me an email.

QUESTION Can the launches their handle a 17.5' Crestliner ??? 90 HP Yamaha ???? Sounds like maybe the launch is for smaller boats... if so are the fishing areas sandy or mucky.... dont want to bring the boys if they have to wade through swamp...

Thanks !!!
