Dtro,

It sounds like the table thing is cleared up, but let me know if things fall threw. I have 3'x6' folding table we used at last weekends FM Kids event.

Shack, if it's a pain to drag along, leave it. Otherwise if it's not a problem I'm sure we could use another one.

I will throw my tables in the truck as well mine as well use the space back there for somthing no need for an empty load. If you have a time you will be starting to aug some holes I will be staying near Spicer and I have no problems getting up early.

[DTro]

Thanks for the offer YBD. I'm sure I'll be there as the sun is coming up punching holes. You're more than welcome to join me

1. My license says that it expires on Feb 29, so I need to buy a new one I think. I swore I saw something about new rules. Anyways if you need a new license buy one as the CO up there is active (good thing) and may stop by for a visit.

'07 licenses are now good thru April 30th.

I'm still planning on making it to CoolCats, but I'm not 100% sure if I'll be able to. I got big shiners in the bait tank I'd like to cut and use up too. They aren't gonna do me any good down here.

[rockman]

I will be bringing 3 or 4 bags of frozen minnows I picked up earlier this winter from a bait shop in Cold Spring.The table I have is at least 6 feet long, maybe 8 feet.Wouldn't hurt to have another table there,though.

[DTro]

If anyone is looking to maybe ride up with a guy from the Metro area, particularly the east or southeast metro, please post here as I just talked to Shamu and his partner will not be able to make it.

[YourBobersDown]

dtro if you want to give me a time I could meet you at the a gas station in town and follow you out to help set up in the morning otherwise I will plan on being there around 5 or so to help with what I can. Also I will be in Spicer tomorrow around 2 or 3 so if anyone in the area wants to hit the ice let me know!!

[moosedrool]

I stopped at the SA on tuesday and picked up some fatheads. I talked to the employee there that their business should see a pretty good up-swing on Sat.. Hope he took it to heart.

I didn't mark much on the vex but I was probably in the wrong spot.

I'll be out there with the family and a few friends.

5???

I don't think I'll be up there that early

I have at least a 2 hr drive.

I'm going to try to be on the ice by 7.

[Tippman]

Looking forward to meeting many of you. I'm hoping to be on the ice between 6 and 6:30. Probably be by myself so will just bring the clam 2000 with a red Ranger next to it, just ask for help setting up if needed. Hope the cats are cooperating!

[YourBobersDown]

Sleep is over rated, when there are fish to be caught you cant catch them without getting your line wet...... at 5 am

[Papa Grump]

I plan on punching holes by 6:00. Can't wait!

[metrojoe]

How much room does Shamu need for gear. I've got an open seat, but room for a lot of gear could be a problem. How far south?

[DTro]

I think he's looking for someone to ride up with him. He's got plenty of room for gear He'd probably be coming right by you Joe.

[metrojoe]

Oh, I thought he was looking for a ride. It doesn't sound like it would work out. I'm coming up with my 2 older boys so we have a Tahoe loaded full of gear. I was thinking if it was just one guy looking for a ride I could make some room.

[Ketch]

I'll be driving up from Le Sueur with my 8 year old daughter if someone along the way is looking for a ride. I'm probably only bringing the clam since the brother in law wants to use the big house. Hopefully I can bother one of you guys to punch some holes for us since the big auger is in the other house. It will be nice to meet some of the area anglers.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Cant wait to set the hook on my first Cat of the winter... yeee haw!!!!

[nytelyter]

my plans are to be on ice about 5am as welll and i am still bringing big garbage cans ans some bags but like i said i do not want a whole truck load of trash to get rid of. see you there. ... paul

[Shamu]

Yes I am looking for someone to ride up there with me. If you need a ride email me at [email protected] I will contact you tonight about it. Leave me your phone # to call you back. Thinking about leaving about 5 30 or 6.

[gopher_nation]

Anyone know how much snow is on the lake? I'm driving a car out.

See you there!

[HUNTFISH69]

Hey Ketch, if you're from Le Sueur i was wondering if you know the Thelemann family, i'm related to them from my mom's side. I'm sure there will be planty of holes to use. See you on the ice!

[Ketch]

I'm not originally from around here, so I don't know many people. I will have to ask my wife, she is from the area. See ya there.

[DTro]

I’ve confirmed that the RecycledFish group will be there tomorrow. Stop by and grab a free cup of hot coffee, hot chocolate and hand warmer.

One thing that I didn’t get around to doing is securing a Port-a-Potty. Unless I can work something out here in the 11th hour, I would expect that there won’t be one there.

See ya tomorrow everyone.

Let’s catch some cats and have some fun!

[Kylersk]

who are the recycled fish group?

[DTro]

I believe there was mention to them towards the begining of the post by Matt Johnson. They are basically a non-profit group that is promoting the benefits of protecting the resources of fishing. They are on a "Ice Tour" and have selected our Cool Cats gathering as a "major" event they would like to be at.
