Cat Gathering Aug 28th

[rushing]

If you missed the last gathering here’s another chance! If interested in hanging out, BSing, and fishing with some folks from the FM board, come to the St Peter Boat Landing on Aug 28th aroun 2pm. There is a camp ground right at the landing $12 a night. Tons of great easy shore fishing, alot of nice fish come right from that area and small park with a pond all right at the landing!

I haven’t decided yet but might stay at the camp ground friday night otherwise I will be there around 2pm.

Come hangout put some faces to names from the board and maybe learn a thing or too from some of the most catwise people around!

The boat landing is on the north end of town where hwy 99 crosses the river.

Sorry, I have a LETS event the 29th and can't make it....Good luck.

Lucky, give me a call about this weekend!!! I foresee some flats in the near future.

[Mr Special]

I'm game,
Hope the river is not too low so I can bring my rig. Putting new rods holders on today.

Dennis,
What no RP at a gathering? Say it ain't so? That's half the reason I go, is for the ride.

Good luck everyone and see ya there

I've been scheduled to be a Boy Scout that night but maybe they would want to camp out there in St. Peter. Would anybody want some nice eggs n bacon with lots of scout pepper (ashes) for breakfast Sunday morning?

Hey! I might actually be able to make this gathering. Still haven't managed to catch a cat, but that's mostly cuz I don't know what I'm doin. Looking forward to learning from some of these faceless names

[Flashman]

Sounds like it would be fun but I'll be moving to North Dakota that weekend. Hope you guys have a great time.

[Lost]

I'd love to be there but can't do a Saturday. Sorry guys. Gonna hafta pass another one.

Geek, work treating you better these days?

[catfish1]

Going to try and make the gathering but up in the air about bring the camper I can not get off friday and so the sites will probably be takin by the time I get to St Peters on Saturday. Or maybe I can camp in Mankato. Just thought of that. And one of my granddaughters is coming to the get gather with me. She has become quit the catfishermen. Will any how will see you all on the 28th... Later

Rats! Or should I say cats. I can't make this date work. Being new to Catfishing this would have been most excellent. What is the name of the campground; maybe I can get over there another time.

Nevermind the name, I found it. Is it tough to get into on a weekend?

Nick; Not sure of the name but it is right behind the police department and that is where you pay the camping fee. To get to the camp ground turn on highway 99 and about a block before the brigde turn right go one block turn lift (by water works building) and that will take you to the boat ramp first and then the camp grounds. The police building is about a 1\2 a block past the water works. Nice ground and real peaceful. Later

We went out Sunday afternoon exploring the St. Peter area and there are some fine lookin spots. If you are interested in camping at the landing I suggest getting there early. You would be rewared with great shore fishing! There is also a bar/grill/bait store right down the road. GIANT suckers for $1.88 a piece.

See ya the 28th

[Mr Special]

rushing,

Will you have directions and maps availble? I think I know where it's at but not 100% How early is early should we be down there for a good shore spot?

Thanks

[LuckyFish]

Hey Mr Special. I'll be bringing my boat you can fill that empty seat if you care.

Comming into St. Peter, you can find the campground/public access very easy. From 169 N or S, you would head east on 99, to Cleveland....On your right hand side, you will see a big historical gate, two blocks, the camp ground is on your right.

The access almost under that 99 bridge.

If you continue on 99 for about .25 mile, the bait shop-Hermies is on right side.....They do have small to massive suckers, on/off sale, and great burgers...

As far as shore spots, I think that people tend to fish that area pretty regularly-day and night.....but there is several good spots. Additionally, I would venture that if people are heading out by boat, there are several good spots you could be dropped off...

I will probably head over, but not sure if I will be taking my boat out. I am not really to thrilled with this strech via boat as it can get a hairy.....

If anyone needs headlamps, let me know. I picked up some extras at bargin price yesterday, LED (blue only)-will bring or send with Rob, $8 with three triple A batteries...have four I think.

[Mr Special]

Luckyfish,
Thanks for the offer and I would love to take you up on it but might have a couple of buds with and can't leave rookies alone. But if they pansy out like most planned trips then I'm game.
Those Kitties are in some serious trouble now. I just picked up a new spool of 12/50PP

[LuckyFish]

Uh-oh Mr Special you sound serious! No problem I may just sit on the bank too! Looks like that is the pattern going here so far. There are also some good shore spots between kato and st peter. I might give those a try if it's too crowded on the sandbar.

[Mr Special]

Luckyfish,
Regardless of where we fish, let's meet up and go from there.

[LuckyFish]

Ok see ya there.
