Well, it's that time again! Time to start getting ready for our annual get together! This years get together is being planned for Montour Preserve on Saturday, January 22nd, 2011. Our previous get togethers have been on Beechwood, Lake Jean, Rose Valley and at Sayers Dam. As anyone who has attended can attest, everyone has a real good time. I would like to thank Marshrat for the opportunity to plan the event this year on my home lake. I am also looking forward to seeing many familiar faces this year as well as meeting new members at this years get together. If anyone else is interested in helping out with planning of the event or has any ideas of what you would like to see at the event, please contact me. Montour Preserve should make a good location for the Get Together. It has a pavilion near the launch are where we can set up for lunch, the parking area is plowed right to the edge of the lake for easy access and has plenty of parking available. I will be in touch with the Preserve office and try to get some lake maps to pass out at the Get Together.

Hope there is some good ice there by then.

We should be good to go by then. We are typically on the ice before that date. Fingers crossed, mother nature will provide again this year!

Hey Geo, let me know what all we need, I'm sure I have something we can use. Fish fryer, table, stove, etc.I already had my wife mark her little schedule book, so we'll be there weather 'ice" permitting.

geothefisher · « **Reply #4 on:** Dec 12, 2010, 08:38 PM »

I have my stove, but it doesn't hurt to have two or three. If we use the paviliion, we won't need tables to set up on. If we want to stay out on the ice, a few tables wouldn't hurt. I have two card tables I can bring, we used them last year along with a few others. I think John brought the pop up tent thing last year. That would be nice to have again as well. I will probably do a pot of chili again this year. This time I will bring the bigger pot!

WildOutdoorAddict · « **Reply #5 on:** Dec 13, 2010, 06:02 AM »

I have a pop up canopy also and the chili sounds good right now!

We need some opinions here...Do we want to make use of the pavilion next to the lake or do we want to set up canopies out on the ice again like we did last year?

I have no opinion on the question asked. But I am very excited because that is the only weekend that I do not have prior plans between now and mid-march..........................see you there.

I think that will depend on the ice conditions then also as to how much we can group up because of the weight. all it should be fine by then. I think there is pros and cons for either.

i'd like to stay on the ice if we can
makes it easer for the guy's running tipups.

That is why I picked the weekend I did. I checked out what weekends you had tourneys, and took into consideration what other events were going on. The 22nd just seemed like the only logical choice.

geothefisher · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 13, 2010, 09:10 PM »

I like your thinking about the tipups John. Montour is a good place to run tipups for walleyes.

john t. · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 13, 2010, 09:25 PM »

That's me smart & good looking

geothefisher · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 13, 2010, 09:28 PM »

Yep, you're one of a kind John! LOL

cooljordan · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 14, 2010, 06:32 AM »

I say setup tables up on the ice. Ya cant catch fish if your not on the ice

delfisher · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 14, 2010, 08:12 AM »

Sounds like it could be a good time, If there is room i have never been to that area and would really like to make it up for your get together. i have been ice fishing for a number of years now and just got the wife involved, we will mark our calender, keep that weekend open and hope to see you all on the ice....

geothefisher · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 14, 2010, 11:08 AM »

Be glad to have you delfisher! Definately the more the merrier! Just because you don't call NE/NC PA home does not mean you can't be a part of the get together.

geothefisher · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 14, 2010, 11:18 AM »

I almost forgot... only 39 days until the Get Together! LOL

That's kind of why I said there is pros and cons to either, and catching fish is defiantly a pro, I'd like to stay on the ice also

Hey Guys:

I just signed up to this site (hopped over from the myfishfinder site).

Just wanted to say hello and let you know that even though Im a newbie, I plan on attending your little shindig at Montour Preserve.

I live in White Haven,Pa, and even though Montour is only about 40 miles away I never fished the place before.

I have not ice fished in a few years, but I am in the process of getting all my gear out of the shed and getting ready to punch some holes.

I will keep an eye on this thread and also can bring a pot of stew or chili, and have a portable table and small gas stove that can be used if you decide to set up on the ice.

Looking forward to seeing some nice fish on this site, good reports and meeting a few of you at Montour.

p.s. - I wanted to start a thread about Francis E Walter Resovoir (I live just downstream of it next to the Lehigh River), but I cant start a thread. Is there a threshold of #posts before a new guy can start a thread?

Keep your feet on the ice.

Later

If it fits in my schedule at the time, I'm in........ I know that sounds like bull but when you have 5 kids like I do and involved with both Boyscouts and Cubscouts like I am and your wife is a midwife who can get called at any time which puts me soley in charge of the works at home...... then it's hard to make the firm commitment saying "I'll be there for sure". Does sound like fun.

Byron- you are one busy dude to have it all lined up for every weekend from now til mid-March. Cool to be that much in demand. Don't forget to sit back every once in a while and let the world spin without you trying to twirl it- it's good for the soul to stand back on occasion to regather and take stock in yourself and others and the world.

Drake- Bean is a moderator on this site and the guy you should talk to about posting for new lakes. There may actually be reports on this lake in the archives and it just needs to be activated with fresh posts for this season. I'll PM you and Bean together to get this straightened out.

Happy Holidays All,
jjT

we should set up on the ice because it is called iceshanty get together and i would like to see john run for a tip-up

and that way we all have to bunch up to meet and greet and things are a lot easier if we set up as a group

geothefisher · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 17, 2010, 08:44 PM »

Sounds like we will be setting up out on the ice like last year!

WildOutdoorAddict · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 18, 2010, 07:00 AM »

Sounds good to me! Maybe we should get a list going soon of who's bringing what!?

geothefisher · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 18, 2010, 11:07 AM »

I'll be bringing a pot of chili.
