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. This gathering is not going to be fancy, just a bunch of guys drilling holes and swapping stories.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK guys, here we go again!

I am thinking Saturday, March 14. Mille Lacs Lake.

This year we will get some chow cookin and some fish biting!

Anyone have any input?

I'd be up for that! I know I'm new around here but this sounds like a great opportunity to meet some of you guys from MN.

Welcome Bjorn!

Where are you located in our fine state?

olympiccop2002 · « **Reply #3 on:** Nov 04, 2008, 03:43 PM »

I'm in the Oak Park Heights/Stillwater area. This weather is not really working out for ice fishing is it?

People are riding their motorcycles to go vote! Definitely not an average early Nov day.

I think we should have ample ice for our get together.

Hard Ice · « **Reply #5 on:** Nov 05, 2008, 04:26 PM »

As the gets a little closer i'll try and make plans to drive back from nd for the day or two..

Sounds like fun skipper, my fiance had an idea that we should go on an ice fishin trip instead of getting each other gifts for xmas! Its a real tough decision, since i already put her gift on her finger last week. I have only iced mille once, at dickies, not a good time, but your get together sounds like a good excuse to try it again! Any places that you recomend staying? Thanks ..................Kell y

The Casino and the Econolodge on the west side are good bets if you want a cheaper room. Both have Jacuzzi suites for you and your bride to enjoy. The Casino has good eats and plenty of places to loose your money too.

As this thing gets a little closer, I will call a few resorts and look for some group discounts. Don't count on getting a sleeper fish house, because the resorts have to get them off the lake by the end of February. It would be nice to have this gathering before the houses have to come off, but the weather is way too cold to stand around and b.s. outside. $:-\$

You know, Blue Fleck doesn't ice fish, but I bet I could get him to visit an ice fishing site!

David Barber · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 12, 2008, 01:22 PM »

HAHAHAHA! I am sooo over it.

Everyone is welcome to attend, even those guys from Maine.

It should be as kid friendly as this site. There may be some beer drank, but the Minnesota guys are pretty civilized. We go to fish, share stories, and have a good time. I do not forsee any problems with kids out there.

canoesota · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 18, 2008, 11:38 PM »

Skipper, my son and I will really try and make it this March. Last year the first date washed out, and the March event was a conflict. I hope all that attended had fun!

Skipper · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 19, 2008, 03:32 PM »

washed out my butt! It was a cryogenic freeze out!

two_fish_tommy · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 29, 2008, 01:54 PM »

Ill be there with skipper again mabey we will have snow on the ice this year so skipper can stay on his feet not his butt!!!!!!

Skipper · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 29, 2008, 02:24 PM »

That was tough out there, I forgot my cleats at home. I couldn't even drill holes with Hard Ice's Lazer Mag auger without getting the merry-go-round treatment.

A few days of melt followed by a hard freeze makes for a slippery day on Gull.

Hard Ice · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 29, 2008, 02:37 PM »

Oh so soon you forget we werent on gull ! Try north long or was it round ? Its been so long ago.
