We want all Iceshanty.com members to attend this gathering regardless of where they are from or how long they have been a member. Feel free to bring a friend with because Iceshanty.com always welcomes new members. If you don't have transportation on the ice you can "carpool" with a guy with a 4x4. If you lack the current fancy gear, you will fit right in.

Please make sure you have a current fishing licence with you and you understand Minnesota fishing laws. This is not a derby or a contest. No admission fee will be collected by Iceshanty.com. All we expect of you is to come and have a good time. Food and drink will not be provided, so please plan accordingly. This gathering is not going to be fancy, just a bunch of guys drilling holes and swapping stories. 8)

Here are the details so far....

Date: Saturday, January 19th

Lake: Mille Lacs, Mille Lacs County

Place: Appledoorns Sunset Bay Resort

Time: 10am we meet on land at the resort.

Hey guys getting to be that time of year.. I would be game for a Mille Lacs trip!!! So count me in

You guys have a favorite resort? I know a few of us liked using Rocky Reef's road system, but there are some big changes happening up there. I think they still own the bar, but I don't know if they are going to do sleeper shacks and roads this year.

I could call up there, unless you guys have a better idea. There are quite a few other resorts on that lake.....

More the merrier, plenty of fish for everyone! Bring good beer.... none of that old mil or Schmidt's!

Aren't there a bunch of PA guys who come out here every year in Feb?

Looks like they have some nice shacks! 10x20 8hole!

That gives ya some room to move around.

Hard Ice · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 12, 2007, 10:01 PM »

maybe this would help i'm planing on fishing a lot this winter out of Lyback's resort now that Rocky Reef has sold much of there parking lot area..

Skipper · « **Reply #12 on:** Sep 13, 2007, 06:07 PM »

How much parking do they have left?

corny13 · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 13, 2007, 08:45 PM »

Hey, I happen to like Old Mil! Esp when ice fishing

Are nodak's also welcome? Its suppose to snow tonight in Northern ND... ice will be coming!

corny13 · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 13, 2007, 08:50 PM »

Oh I forgot to write my other suggestion and that is to have a get together at Eelpout festival and have a IceShanty team for total tonage of Eelpout! Yes I know most of Eelpout is just for drinking and partying, but there are a few fools out there just trying to catch Big Pout! ( BTW I was not that successful with only 3 eelpout last winter)

Nodaks are welcome, but they can keep their old mill to themselves!!!!!

Why don't we simplify?

Iceshanty.com is having a get together in Minnesota and all members are welcome! The best part of Minnesota is there is plenty of ice for everyone!

It is the big blue thumbprint in the dead center of the map!

Mille Lacs is 132,000 acres, its pretty hard to miss.

Welcome to the site Paul! I am glad to finally see someone from my area on Iceshanty.com. Has that lake come up at all with this rain? I sure hope so. $:-\$

Hard Ice · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 09, 2007, 08:32 PM »

Hey Skipper maybe we should try to met at Appeldoorn's some weekend to talk about this..?

Skipper · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 09, 2007, 09:04 PM »

Why not?

HawkEyeman · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 10, 2007, 11:32 AM »

Hey fellas, just moved up to the Cities last summer from Iowa City. I'd definately be interested in getting together weither it be the iceshanty.com get together or a get together for just this forum.

I've got plenty of paid time off saved up for some trips out on the ice this year. Just let me know when and where!

p.s. Glad to finally be off that Iowan ice!

Skipper · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 10, 2007, 04:21 PM »

We need to whittle out a date here....

The last Saturday in Jan is out for me. We should count out super bowl weekend too.

Do we want to do this on a Saturday or Sunday?

I think we should try to keep it in mid January though, if we wait too long the fishing will crap out. We can head out to the flats in February, but that is quite a hike from anywhere.

Paul Waldowski · « **Reply #26 on:** Oct 10, 2007, 07:15 PM »

Skipper,

Thanks for the welcome.

Meet at Appeldoorn's? Make sure that you bring the rods as the fall trolling bite is on

Fredster · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 11, 2007, 09:07 AM »

Last weekend is out for me too, as I'm heading to the jaycee's tournie on Gull. But I'm open to most any other weekend. 2nd or 3rd weekend in jan seems best for me.

Since i'm hauling up from the TC, I'll probably make it a weekend, so either day works for me as well...

Fredster

HawkEyeman · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 11, 2007, 10:07 AM »

I'm with Fredster on the 2nd or 3rd weekend would be best for me. Also, I'd prefer Saturday but Sunday wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

Skipper · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 11, 2007, 04:33 PM »

I work most saturdays, so I second having it on saturday!

Work stinks, lets play hookie!!!!!!!!!!
