FM gathering in Crookston roll call....

[Wiskers]

I am looking for feedback for an FM gathering in Crookston this summer.. I am thinkging July 10th weekend. Fishing the Redlake river or Red River. Pending on water available in the rivers boats and shore fishing will be a great adventure..

If the river is anything like last year we should have a great place to have a gathering below the dam.

Crookston has a great park for camping along the river and several hotels and motels.. for preferred rates just tell them Wiskers sent you.. The Northland Inn and AmericInn are your best deals.

looking for feedback and ideas for this event to get them city slickers out of the metro up to the boondocks.. lol lol.. Small boats and River Pro's welcome if we use the Red Lake River... I will keep posted on water levels... ...

Let me know your thoughts...
Dance is Friday night from 9-1:00.

Room rates are about $62.00 and $89.00 poolside. Good dinner specials and free drink coupons. Northland Inn..218-281-5210.

This list is gettin nice now, come on fellas.. Lets make this a huge day of stressless, fun fishing and visting.....

I am going to put up a list of people that are going to be here so if your name is on here and you will not be attending please let me know.. and if you are going to be here and I missed your name let me know.

Woooo Hoooo!!!!! I'm in, count Shawn in too.
You'll have to get your bar stalked up before then. I suppose you actually have to buy beer now that you aren't working nights.

I'll call you.

[Rick]

As I said ijn the other post,
I'm likely in as well. I'll be the guy riding with Dennis

[Wiskers]

Bar will be stocked, back yard is quite big for tenting if needed.. I even have tennis courts in the back yard..

Flashman.. if I only knew how to put vids on here.. ... .. .Happy B-Day to you... LOL...Maybe I should have Rick post that one from the bar.. LMAO..

This will be a good time!!!!!!!!! Lets see how many RPs we can get in the Dam.. Make news for sure..

Tim... Well we have been hearing so many times now that the dam is being taken out I am starting to think its all a hoax.... Even if they do we will still be able to have a good time down there if the water is anything like last year and have that huge sand bar to play on.. It was awesome fishing there last year in the evenings just ask Flashman.. I had to drag him off there kicking and screaming....

wet nets..................

The Logician owns the boat(we're putting the new trolling motor on tommorrow), but if he's in then I'm in.

He'll be in....

------------------
SERIOUSLY! It was THIS big!

[Wiskers]

Awesome..

Goal is to get more fishermen and boats in the river than ever seen here in history.. as long as the water is cooperating.. otherwise only small boats will be able to get in.. by landing over the dike by had.. got fingers crossed...

Fishing from shore is just as much fun as fishing from a boat up there. Last summer there was a big sand bar we just setup camp on, brought the coolers and lawn chairs down there and caught fish on just about anything you threw in the water...steak, shrimp, cut sucker. It was a blast. I'm thinking catfish fry, Wiskers, you might have to ask Dennis for his secret recipe. My mouth is already watering. I can't wait.

[Wiskers]

A fry it is................ I got a new cooker last summer and have not even used it yet.. mmmmmmmmm now Im hungry..

Dennis uses my secret breading

OK, it isn't mine, but we have two types and they are both darn good in the deep fryer with catfish strips.

You guys are going to have one sweet wing ding planned here if you keep at it

[Boar]

Geeez whiskers I'm like 20 miles away, I don't know....... Maybe if you could help with gas or something....... OK I'm in!!!!! never mind the gas save it for our selkirk trip in june. Being I'm close mabey I could help with some set up or something I have a deep fryer, boat, sounds like a slobberknocker for sure, let me know if I can help and I'll see what I can do. Later boar

[Dennis Steele]

Well I give up the secret!
Its Chef Roberts breading.It is my abosolute favorite.I keep a bag of it in the truck just in case!
A close second is Lost River.I like the cajun style the best.
I'll make sure I bring some along.

It looks like there is going to be a few guys comming.This is going to be fun!!

[Wiskers]

Boy I sure hope that weekend is nice out.. Lets see, shore lunch, big kitties, a ton of FMers, Ton of boats including RPs and more fishing lines in the water than The river has ever seen since it was created. lol.. How can it not be a great time..

Can't wait..

I will be making the trip this time, missed the one this winter but that won't happen again. If needed I can even bring my fish cooker. I might be looking for a place to stay as my motel sank last summer.

Sounds like a good time and I might bring a crew with me.

See everyone there.

[Wiskers]

For those of you that might need a room... Call the Northland Inn. 218-281-5210. They have special rates for the Wiskers crew.

Count me in as well. I'll through the camper I bought from you on my truck and bring my new boat up. Not a RP but it's a heck of a nice duck boat. Had lots of fun with you and your brother last summer.

Ok here goes..
I have a buddy that is a DJ and the Northland Inn will let me use the main banquet room for a bash on Friday night the 9th, and if we get enough fellas that are staying at the Inn she will also give us the hospitaltity room for Sat. night with a bar.

So the big Q. is if enough FMers are going to make it up here I will set it up so we can get great rates for rooms at the Northland Inn, with Restraunt, bar and pool..Dance Fri night and some good beverages then we can fish Sat.

With or with out boats this will be a great weekend of fishing....

I need to get an idea on how many fellas are going to be here for sure on Fri.. Heck we can fish Fri and Sat.. Just let me know what you all think.

Rick>>>>>>>>>>

Let me know if we can get some items like we did on the Shue this winter..I will work on some local stuff also.

Got fingers crossed for good weather that day..

PASS THE WORD............................

I will try to have some sample stuff for you to test out.

[Flashman]

hmmmm? Your very own catfishing bait. I can't even imagine what you'd put in it, is it anything like those wrotten freakin gizzards we tried to use that one year during Cats Incredible? The only thing good about those is that every time you took the lid off someone "chummed" for them.

later man

[Dennis Steele]

Whiskers Best Catbait found at only the best bait establishments!
Thats pretty cool.I hope it goes well.

[Wiskers]

lmao i REMEMBER THAT.. they were bad and did not work worth a darn..

Nope I got an idea to market some baits I have been useing for some time now.. Hope it goes well.. I will be getting you some to distribute down there Ed.. see how it goes over before I go full production on it.

What do you think of the latest post on FM gathering??? that might be a real fun time if enough fellas are going to be here.. I passed on the info to our local Cat League members too.

See if you can make it down here next weekend and we'll go chase some kitties. Cootz is picking his boat up today, so I'll be helping him set that up for river fishing. I already picked out some lights for him; I think we'll get them mounted while we are in Blackduck this weekend when we aren't fishing.

Maybe we could hit the Shoe and see if you can catch a kitty there in the softwater season. Hahahahah
