Please do, the one from last year was awesome!

[PeterSaloom]

Will,

I had talk from my buddies about possible overnight this year. They really liked getting out there in the dark last year, which surprises me. So who knows, maybe you will have company.

[Yachtzy]

Going to try to make it, can't commit 100% yet though.
May try the overnight if I can too.

Have got a few PMs about doing an overnight. Looks like there could be a few of us this year. Let me know if you are interested.

[BFFlynn51]

I'm in for this.  Looking forward to getting back to Bartons.

Well, we are just two weeks out now and I was wondering what people think of doing the Put and Take Raffle again?

The premise is that every one that can brings a prize for the table.   Something that maybe was the wrong size or color or something you bought and even though it works just fine you don't use it.   We got some really awesome stuff last time and some gear got re-purposed to people that will use it.  I remember an electric auger was given one year along with some other great stuff.  We even raffled off 10" Paula the Pondie one year.  A couple of guys who wanted to participate but didn't have any thing lying around put a bottle of liqud warm up on the table.

What say ye gang?

[stripernut]

I will bring something!

[mr tip up]

ALOHA CAPTAIN....
I'll be there....hopin and prayin it's not as cold as last year

[BaitBucket]

Man that came up fast!! Should be a good time this weekend!

[BFFlynn51]

Fished here yesterday.  12-14" total ice.  2" of solid white ice with another 1" of soft stuff between that and the good stuff.  Missed as many flags as I landed.  Iced 3 Pickerel and jigged up a tiny perch hole-hopping.  Can't wait to get back up there Saturday and continue the hunt for my first pike this year!

**Put and Take Raffle:

**  We are going to hold the put and take raffle again this year.  The way it works is that every one that can brings a prize for the table.   Something that maybe was the wrong size or color or something you bought and even though it works just fine you don't use it.   We got some really awesome stuff last time and some good gear got re-purposed to people that will use it.  I remember an electric auger was given one year, some nice camp chairs along with some other great stuff.  We even raffled off 10" Paula the Pondie one year.  A couple of guys who wanted to participate but didn't have any thing to bring put a bottle of liqud warm up on the table.  Really anything a sportsman might use.  It will be open to the first 52 people that come.  You do not need to bring a prize to participate but it is certainly encouraged.  I will draw the winners at noon (12:00) and you must be present at the draw table to win so every one please come in at noon for the raffle and a group photo

Folks that are coming to the gathering we are going to do some filming if we can just like last year. Would love to get more people in the video. I know being on camera isn't for everyone but if you want to show off your fish, your gear, your celebrity impressions, whatever, just let me know.

[BaitBucket]

Ill have my cam to Pete. Hopefully we have some good overnight action to add.

Sounds good Pete!

Gonna try to make it out but it's up in the air as of now. Not only would I like to get out and fish but would like to meet some fellow shanty members. One question that is of importance to me considering I won't be able to get any bait until Saturday. Is there anywhere I can get bait around 630 or 7 am this is when I would be planning on being there. The local bait shop near me opens at 6 but it's a two hour drive so I'd rather get bait near there. Thanks for the help and I'm hoping to be there.
