How long is everyone planning on staying?? With the big game going on??

Bassman-

I plan on leaving about 2pm or so. Unless you're planning on putting on a trick riding demo later in the afternoon. That avataor pic is sweet.

[bassNspear]

do you have any idea what that would look like with him?

[merkman]

I could set up a temporary webcam at the event (in my truck, looking though the windshield) if anyone who can't make it is interested in peeking in?

Let me know if there is interest.

If there is I will post the details of how to get to the webcam on the site here.

[Dabignorski]

that would be pretty interesting

[bassNspear]

that would be kinda cool

[merkman]

I will hook it all up before sunday morn but I think (if everything goes good) it will be located here.

LOL thanks!!! Check out the snowmobile forum for the rest of them pictures. The sled wont be coming with me this weekend!!! Maybe another time.

[Gordie]

As far as I know I will be there and I will birng my Ice saw as well and there should be some room in the shack that I'll be using if anyone needs it. should be a great time.

[merkman]

If I can work out the technical difficulties I may have a second web cam set up.

That one will be wireless with pan, tilt, and a microphone.

That would be a good one to set up in someones house.

I am not going to spend a huge amount of time on it, but if it falls into place I will bring it with. I will know more by Sat night.

[bassNspear]

I wouldnt worry about that one to much. I am getting excited to get out there and see some fish, along with meeting all the people that come. Should be a great time. Remember, if anyone has any questions at all, i can help out with that as well.

[bassNspear]

does anyone know if there is a bait shop close by the lake, where i would be able to stop there on our way up to the lake for decoys

[merkman]

Check the yellow pages.

[merkman]

I will have an extra house, chair, spear, and decoy at the get to gator.

Anyone who wants to try spearing for their first time can bring their own fishing licence, spearing licence, and heater and they are good to go.

First come first served.

[bassNspear]

thats awesome man. Hopefully we have a few people coming out and will fill that house up.

[Gordie]

BassnSpear there is a bait store in Elk River east on hwy 10 off of 101 its about 2 miles or so east of 101 its called Ebners bait and there is a bait store in Monticello on hwy 75 east of hwy 25, not quite a block off 25 north befor the river. hope this helps

[Scott M]

Ebners has some dynamite suckers.

[glenn57]

[shamalex72]

Coleslaw, Dessert, or Donuts for the morning would work.

[Gordie]

just got off the phone with a buddy of mine that is on Big Lake spearing and he didnt even have the hole cleaned out and saw a pike swim thru man thats got me stoked!!!

[bassNspear]

what time do they open, my plan was to be at the lake by 730 as well

[havefunlightenup]

Ebners is open pretty early, from what I remember. It will take about 15-20 minutes to get to the landing, depending on the lights! Sounds like you guys will have a blast! Good luck to all of you! I live in the area, but will be running all over for work, but when I go by, I'll honk!

[bassNspear]

Is anyone else going to stop and get some live decoys. If so let me know, and i will just pay you for them, that way we dont have so many guys stopping to them

I will check back about 10pm tonight as well to see whats going down.
