Maybe there is? If so I would like to hear about that one too. I might make it East yet this fall. It won't be long before I switch to walleye mode here then I'm busy again tell freeze up.

I thought you may have been talking about the Frog Hop/Stomp so I thought I would respond Rob?

Maybe see ya next year over here then? We plan to keep it rolling as it is a big cat time here and a great time to meet on this section of the red.

Yes there is a Cat Gathering on Sept 13th at Carver.
We will meet at the landing late afternoon for some grilling a talk.There is some good water to fish from shore or boat.

Wait a second. Isn't Aquamans gathering in Anoka on the 13th to? I must've missed something. It changed to Carver now?

[rushing]

I thought I heard of one in Carver, MN in Sept.

I wish I could make it to your frog stomp b-day bash but its just not gonna work out for me this year, but happy early B-Day to you!

Iam done fishing in my stomping grounds. The river has done and got way to low to run. It's only one way trips and I have no one to pick me up at the outher end and run me back to the truck.

But I have to, I need to, I got to, I want to make one last trip, And that looks like the riverat meet. Just let me know when and where. Is sept 13th 100%? If so I can start kissing up to the outher half

Rushing I have a spot for you.

So there's two on the same day. Anoka in the AM and Carver in the PM. Well I'll go to one, but which one? I live right in the middle.

[catfish1]

will the wife and I are going to try and make it to the carver gathing. We will camp at St peter and come over on Saturday afternoon. Will check later on the water level to see if I will bring my boat. Hope more can make it. Had fun last year. Let me know if there is a camping area closer with electric hook up

I'm camping in Dennis's back yard.

Dark's might be even better....now that would be a hoot. Darks smartfire with his awesome family in attendance. Let's not even mention the wildflower fields and huge bee's nests. We could really romp there.

Of course, Dennis has a baitshop tight htere....

[Aquaman01]

Put me on that 'someday' list, Ozzy!

I'm gonna be looking to camp, too. It's gonna be a long day with the Shore Gathering and all and me-n-the boy will need a tent-site, whether it's a sandbar or a field - doesn't matter.

Dennis; I will bring a big pot of catfish chowder for everyone to try. I have taking it to other gathering and everyone likes it. I like to show that there are other ways to fix catfish. See you there.

The river is LOW.You can expect to "bump a stump" in the shallow runs but it is can still be navigated with small jons and vee hulls.If you take the first section above the Carver ramp to the train bridge slowly you shouldn't have much trouble after that.

[Crawlerman]

Does anyone know the conditions of the river/ Carver launch right now? I'm guessing that unless we get some rain here pretty soon boating really won't be much of an option. I know it was pretty low and just barely boatable/launchable a month ago, but was wondering if anyone knows what it's like now/ what we can expect for the launch.

As it stands right now... unless we get some rain I'm not going to want to bring the boat.. altough I would like to.

[Crawlerman]

I won't be able to make it as I am short one tire on my boat trailer (was stuck for 3 hours on hwy 13 today coming back from spring till I could get my spare tire remounted.) and I have another party I have been invited to as well.

Hope you all have fun; maybe I'll see about making it down to the Cabelas meetings or the metro ICE events?
