Fishing mn Markers

[WalleyeSnob]

i wanted to purpose the idea of having some kind of marker that we fishing mn'ers can put on our houses while ice fishing that way we can stop by and say hi and exchange some reports or ideas
especially out on the big lakes like lake of the woods or mille lacs
i ran into scoots today on LOW and we were just talking and i asked him about fishing mn so we put two and two together
and what do you know another fishing mn resident
does anyone else think this is a good idea because i feel that there are literally thousands of us who pay attention and are apart of these message boards it would really be nice to put some names with faces

tell me what you think or any ideas of what kind of marking we could use to tell eachother apart from any other angler

let's get a count of how many people would be up for this

I am in!

Good idea. Maybe a bumpersticker or something similar that would say FishingMinnesota.com boldly with a spot we could write our username in with permanent marker?? It is fun to run into a FMer out there, i have done it myself.

I thinks its a good idea, I'd definitly pay a few bucks for a bumper sticker (or a marker like it!)

How about a small banner or flag? Something in a bright orange so it can be seen from a ways? Also how about having a designated 2 way radio channel? Maybe 6/13? 6 for F and 13 for M ? This way at all the Ice Leaders and other get togethers we know where everyones at on the radios.

One of my "jobs" this week is to find a flag that will designate I.C.E. Series participants for the tournaments. I am looking for sonething bright that can be seen at a distance... that I can put FishingMinnesota.com / I.C.E. Leaders on.
I'll post you on my results.

I've got the 'Fishing Minnesota' bumper sticker on my fishhouse (on Ottertail as of yesterday). I s'pose I could add one of the 'Ice Leaders' stickers, too...

Stop in and visit...

i think a flag is a really good idea
that way we can see it from a long distance
i dont think to many people would mind paying a few bucks for something like this

i wonder what rick thinks of the idea?

[korn_fish]

I like the idea of the flag too....that way when I run out of the frosties, I can go pester other FM'ers for a bevvy, or if they run out they can pester me

Korn_fish,
Where do you fish? I should try to follow you around as I run out frequently

I think the flag is a great idea. I'd prefer that over a bumber sticker and wouldn't mind paying for it.

OR what about just haveing a sticker or paint on your house "FM" or "FM'er" or like someone said "Fishing Minnesota". Id be up for that!
I like the flag idea too.

Fish ON!

You see those flags with pro football team logos on them that hook on vehicle windows, that would also be a cool thing for a FM logo, maybe in bright chartruse?

Coach Dog - I used to fish the south central lakes around the mankato area. But I found that there are so many lakes around the metro area that I am going to go out and try my luck around here, especially since I live here

so needless to say I am a rookie to the metro waters. But will be out often. Will be going up to Mille Lacs a few times and may venture up to LOTW.

I have been looking at getting some sort of reflective paint to paint something on my shak so people know its me.

[Posty]

I'm game for the flag idea. Would be a great thing to put on our shacks, little easier to remove, if needed, than a sticker

I put one of the fm bumperstickers on the window of my fishouse .
