Fishing with the GIRLS

[walleyechick]

Hey there! My name is Kelly, I enjoy to fish, but only get to go with the guys. I dont have any friends that like to fish. Anyone around the south metro/south cental MN area that would like to go fishing sometime?

[Lisa Almquist]

Hi Kelly! I noticed that you had a great trip to the UP last month. That is one nice perch you had there. It was a fun trip wasn't it?

First off, welcome to our Women's Forum! I didn't have any girl friends to fish with either until I met some gals on here. I sure wish we lived closer though because it'd be quite a hike to meet up and hit a lake, wouldn't it?

Hey Kelly, welcome to the Women's forum. I am originally from Gaylord - not too far from you. Now I live in the north metro, but would drive south to fish.

The 2nd Womens GTG is in June at Mille Lacs. Check your schedule and see if you can make it. If you have a boat that's great, but if not, there will be a few boats there.

I second what Fishnovice101 said about joining us at Mille Lacs. I made 6 great fishing friends at last years GTG and we have had many fun times since. We are pretty scattered around Minnesota but somehow we managed to get together every once and a while. I would love to see more women posting here and getting involved with fishing. We are kind of the silent minority. Anytime you are going to be in the Grand Rapids area give me a shout, I live for fishing and have a boat.

Thanks everyone, I will check my schedule in June, and see if that will work for me. It sounds like a BLAST. I really don't feel comfortable bring our boat......I have had time on the water, but not in the drivers seat..........

[Lisa Almquist]

You sound like me walleyechick. We have one boat and even if I did run it, June is big time walleye month for my husband. I heard talk of doing the launch on Mille Lacs and we had a great pontoon last year with a most wonderful driver!

[Iambjm]

We may have 3 boats there this year if Shelly comes. Speaking of pontoons, I am going to being taking a Captains course this spring with the Let's Go Fishing With Seniors group. I am so psyched about this coming summer and volunteering for them. Maybe now I will learn how not to beach my boat.

Yea - a driver that gives good showers -

Welcome - walleyechick

the womens GTG is awesome - we really do have a lot of fun and really do catch a lot of fish and really do eat well and really do drink well and really do smell bad by the end of the weekend -

[WI Women Fish]

Oh Rats, The GTG weekend is the same weekend as WI Women Fish is having a barge fishing trip out of Alma. It seems like my whole life there were two parties on the same day and I had to miss one. Rats. I guess I should talk to you MN gals further in advance. Tami get on that will ya......geeze.....lol Do you gals have dates planned for the fall because I'm picking the date for the Fall Fish Camp this week so someone please let me know. Next winters dates too if you know them.

We are trying to plan a GTG at Stony Point on Leech Lake sometime late summer or early fall, but don't have a date set yet. First weekend in Oct., I may be at the Fall Frenzy at Appeldoorns on Mille Lacs, won't know the date until Paul sets it later this summer. I became the secretary today for Let's Go Fishing With Seniors and will be going on a lot of their excursions this summer. Hopefully I will have a chance to be the captain on some of them.

[Lisa Almquist]

Were your ears burning Barb Carey? We were just talking about you on here! You WI gals really DO know how to fish some great water! Where do you hold Fall Fish Camp?

[WI Women Fish]

Fall Fish Camp is held on the Petenwell Flowage in central Wisconsin. Great walleye crappie and catfish fishing. WE grew out of our last spot so the location is going to change this year. I will be sure to keep you posted.

[reelemin]

Lisa I definitly will be at the Fall Fish Camp - it sounds like alot of fun - who wants to go ?

[Lisa Almquist]

I think it sounds fun!

I've got to admit Tami, I took a gander at your facebook pics from last weekend (I hope you don't mind! ) and you gals had quite the shanty town! Where did you girls stay?

[reelemin]

Definitly check it all out - we stayed a motel in town, only 36 bucks a night but nice - a bit bigger version of the Paddle Inn. We also all went out to eat together Fri night for a fish fry. It was really a great weekend. Made alot of new friends, even though they are from WI, I still like em' -

[reelemin]

Can't wait to tell you all about the one that got away! not me but another gal, what a story --

[Lisa Almquist]

WI Women know how to fish-huh!? Who would've guessed it? I thought us Minnesota Gals only knew how fun fishing was!! I'm not a competive chick anyways but there's always been some sort of border battle! I'll have to check it out.
