KOTC Get Together

[DTro]

Thanks for the tools Brian, saved me from having to go back again tonight.

You know darn well about the hooksets. That orange monster you tossed in the boat as we were leaving was the culprit.

[Sandmannd]

So without going upstream do we still have options for fishing. I'm pretty experienced with my boat, just not on the MN river. Would you go up that way or go downstream?

[Shack]

No way to pull a Brian K (no pun!

Ya, thanks guys for doing this!

[DTro]

Yes, there are options downstream as well.

If you know your boat well, going upstream shouldn't be a major problem, but in the same breath, should not be shrugged off as no big deal.

[harvey lee]

Thanks guys for opening up isle 4. We also had a hard time with the hook setting last night as our percentage was very low. Tonight may be all the better.

[RAB]

ouch. What if your boat is 8 feet wide?

[DTro]

ouch. What if your boat is 8 feet wide?

no worries RAB

[aanderud]

Tough problem to have, let me tell ya. Maybe they'll go shave another 1-2 inches off the tree trunk for ya RAB.

[Fozell]

I'm game as long as there are plenty of places to fish from shore. I might have another guy with me if things go as planned.

[harvey lee]

We will find a way to get you fishing Glenz. There is a sandbar not that far away that isn't bad for fishing.

I am not familar with this area, is the landing up river from the tresel you guys are talking about or do we have to go through it to get to where the grills are going to be parked?

I will be bring some fire wood up, planning to be there around 6pm if all goes as planned.

[DTro]

We are gathering right at the landing. There is a park area with a bunch of green space.

I guess if people decide they want to transfer to a nearby sandbar or something, then they can do that too.

[AceintheHole]

What time are you people going to start showing up ?

[wastewaterguru]

I will likely be getting there around 4 or 5. Eat and chat for a while then head out at 7 or 8 for fishing.

[Sandmannd]

I want to try to get tehre between four and five as well. I got an email from a friend and they are chopping down a tree tomorrow. If they get it cut up before I leave around three or so, I will bring a boat load (Litterally) of firewood with me. Can't say for sure yet though.

[gooseby10ga]

Is the plan to head up river from the access to a sandbar? if so do we thread the needle through the tressel? my question boils down to is the tressel up or down from the access? Well it is just about time to get out and catch some bait with the kids tonight. It sure is great having a 4 and 5 yr old that want to help me catch bait, now they just want to know when they get to go help use it. LOL I know it will be quite awhile before I have them if the boat on the river. Well I suppose I will be getting everything together tonight wishing I was out on the river like I am sure many of you will be. Good luck to all that make it out tonight.

[DTro]

Yes, the best sandbar is probably located up through the trestle (upstream from landing) However there are sandbars all over the place, not to mention ample shore fishing right at the landing. I'm sure it will all get hashed out over a couple beverages and brats

[gooseby10ga]

Sounds great, see you all there.

[aanderud]

I'm sure it will all get hashed out over a couple beverages and brats

And a few flying potatos...

[wastewaterguru]

How's the aim on that thing.

I think a formal ceremony is in order......

Tie the monkey to a tree, blindfold him, stick a lit cigarette in his mouth and......well you know the rest!!!!

[DTro]

Brian, I was thinking that present that John gave you last night would go well on that spudzilla.

[ec30_06]

I might have room for one in my boat. Depends on what tomorrow morning brings. Any word on if I should bring firewood?

[harvey lee]

Going back with Boilerguy tonight to get a few hopefully.

[AceintheHole]

Don't forget the rain suits. They are talkin rain Sat. night.

[Here-Kitty-Kitty]

ya 60% chance of rain and 100% chance for fun. Is that the landing right off of 41
