Sounds good on the tables and an easy up. Thanks guys!!! Now if we can just get the weather to cooperate!!! C'mon old man winter, we want it COLD!!!

geothefisher · « **Reply #61 on:** Jan 09, 2017, 02:51 PM »

Since we are no longer finding out if anyone is interested in getting a get together around for this year, you all apparently are, I changed the heading to include the place and date. The only question left is what time would everyone like to officially start this great event? The lake is open 24/7/365, but would anyone want to start real early and do breakfast on the ice? Or wait until a little later and do a lunch and snack? It's all up to you guys!!! Has anyone come up with any prizes yet? We are only 12 days away!!!

Jaggerhunter · « **Reply #68 on:** Jan 11, 2017, 08:40 AM »

I will be early

geothefisher · « **Reply #69 on:** Jan 11, 2017, 09:00 AM »

So, should we make an official starting time of 7AM? 8AM? I will probably get there between 7 and 8, and be there all day.

cooljordan · « **Reply #70 on:** Jan 11, 2017, 09:07 AM »

That's a good time between 7 and 8 till midnight!

Jaggerhunter · « **Reply #71 on:** Jan 11, 2017, 07:50 PM »

How r prizes given is it raffled or fish or something

geothefisher · « **Reply #72 on:** Jan 12, 2017, 02:17 AM »

Someone brings tickets, and when you come sign in at the tent you are given a prize ticket. That's what we used to do. No one has mentioned any donated prizes yet, so we are playing that by ear for now. I need to make a few phone calls yet.

geothefisher · « **Reply #73 on:** Jan 12, 2017, 02:04 PM »

Colder temps are coming! C'mon weather work with us!!!

wiggly812 · « **Reply #74 on:** Jan 13, 2017, 04:12 AM »

This sounds like a fun time! would be cool to meet everyone..

Jaggerhunter · « **Reply #75 on:** Jan 13, 2017, 08:55 AM »

It's a lot of fun putting faces with names and finding new fishing friends!!!

cooljordan · « **Reply #77 on:** Jan 14, 2017, 08:07 PM »

Maybe we should push the date out a bit? We still have time.

Jaggerhunter · « **Reply #78 on:** Jan 14, 2017, 09:46 PM »

I'm OK with that. Would be nice if there enough ice to do some fishing.

That call needs to be made very soon. I work every other weekend so rescheduling could possibly become an issue with me. As much as I would like to meet everyone, it's not worth possibly burning two vacation days and surrendering 12 hours of pay.

geothefisher · « **Reply #80 on:** Jan 14, 2017, 10:40 PM »

I'm burning a vacation day for this date. If you guys don't think we will have safe ice on Sayers, we could try for a date in February (two dates are already taken for the Panfish League tournaments) or we could keep the 21st and change lakes. Doesn't matter to me, but after the end of January, we get really busy at work and getting a weekend off is almost impossible. I also tried to set a date that wouldn't interfere with the guys who are going out west to fish on the 28th or 29th. Speak your minds, let's get it figured out.

tokyo · « **Reply #81 on:** Jan 14, 2017, 11:26 PM »

I'm not opposed to a venue change. I like the idea of a gathering of ice fisherman and being able to ice fish.

-my vote is keep the date, find an alternate location

Jaggerhunter · « **Reply #82 on:** Jan 15, 2017, 08:16 AM »

Ok where are you guys thinking then

Jaggerhunter · « **Reply #83 on:** Jan 15, 2017, 08:29 AM »

Rose valley has 10" of ice as of yesterday

digger953 · « **Reply #84 on:** Jan 15, 2017, 10:29 AM »

ok with me just need to know by wed if we are changing lakes
temps this week dont look good but there still should be some ice at rv

Jaggerhunter · « **Reply #85 on:** Jan 15, 2017, 10:59 AM »

I'm good with rose valley. How's everyone else with that choice.

subtlehustle76 · « **Reply #86 on:** Jan 15, 2017, 03:53 PM »

South launch

Jaggerhunter · « **Reply #87 on:** Jan 15, 2017, 05:02 PM »

Out from the south launch or between south and east launch

geothefisher · « **Reply #88 on:** Jan 15, 2017, 11:20 PM »

Rose Valley would be great. I actually attended my first get together there. Over a foot of snow on the ice that day. Met Cooljordan, JohnT, Digger, Marshrat and many others there that day!

tokyo · « **Reply #89 on:** Jan 16, 2017, 03:06 PM »

So is this an official change of venue? Rose Valley is fine by me. Is the attendance pretty close to the same, I have been keeping a loose head count so I know how much food to bring.
