Burntside bash

[Wade Joseph]

I seem to remember a spot STF was at two years ago all by himself and ice a real dandy and one other if memory serves me...mayeb I will poke around that area this year.

[ripstick]

steve I know you can find that spot agian heck I can and I was sober. Tom has to look for the smelt on the ice.

[SKIPPERS KID]

Here it is I hope I have deb on this trip and I will be with frank and JR on this years outing. But we will be building a new house to help deb out so I will be there as well. I might need some help with the house for us to go . I am not asking you to give up on fishing just to lend a hand so we can go and meat you and have fun /

[Wade Joseph]

I am available usually on weekends Tom but might be able to lend a hand during a weeknight evening if you need it. Let us know when you get it started.

[LoonASea]

Im going to do my best to make the bash again this season ,,,I just have to stay away from the Wabbit or find a room thats closer ,,that stumble inn errr paddle inn is just too long of a walk ,,,,,,or maybe I just had a bad hair day

Randoid

[Tom Linderholm]

What hotel/motel is closer other than the GEL?

[Steve Foss]

Westgate is the closest, if memory serves. About three blocks.

[harvey lee]

I would suggest that all that are planning on attending should look into their rooms before they are gone. I reserved two doubles at the Paddle Inn in Ely and they are filling.

last year I needed to go to Tower and thats a few miles.

[Steve Foss]

The big snowmobile fun run also is that Saturday, and that's why Ely motel rooms fill fast. Get yours TODAY!

[Wanderer]

Steve,

Near as I can remember from Chunky's fairly accurate description of the "spot", its just around the corner from where I caught my first 3 lakers on Bside last year.

I'll try to stay off it!

You are so right though about so many spots to try. This summer I was only out there twice but I paid alot of attention to the graph and kept trolling. We missed some good stuff last year by just a little bit.

Justin,

All I can say is: We better back the smack up!

Oh dude!!! You know who will be out there for 2 solid weeks scouting before the Bash, right?? We will be stacking 'em up like cord wood, man!

Justin

[Steve Foss]

Well, not exactly, Wanderer. A guy's gotta introduce a bit of misdirection now and then. A man who won't lie to protect his fishing spot doesn't care much about his fishing spot.

[Wanderer]

OH! So I can fish that whole area guilt free!!!

I really liked 3 or 4 spots there. It was interesting to pick it apart. We wanted to try some of it last year but stayed with known spots instead.

I went over where I did catch my fish and it turned out to be one very small hard spot with no significant depth change from the surrounding water. I still marked activity on it this summer. My two buddies didn't even mark anything as close as 50 feet from me last ice season.

Basically the spot seems like its worth an hour maybe, but a worthwhile try any time I'm near it.

Sweet! It will make it even better when the Duluth guys come up and outfish the locals.

[Northlander]

Again?

[Tom Linderholm]

, paddle inn this year Steve?

[Northlander]

Ya I guess so Cheffrey. I just called and got the big corner room with 3 beds and the room BD110 and Skipperskid had last year. #4 and #6 I guess.

I would call asap and get rooms there. Sounds like FMers are already filling him up.

[Kallista]

This thread was good that it started now cause there would be no rooms left if it waited till next month

[Lisa Almquist]

I know! I just booked a room right now! So now it's official-count Lisa and her man in!

Lisa

[Tom Linderholm]

Wife and I are booked at the paddle. The official "Wanderer" will be staying in our room as well.

[Steve Foss]

Geez, they're going to have to rename the Paddle Inn just due to all the Bside Basher Crashers.

[Kallista]

Yep The Bside Crashers Inn

[Surface Tension]

Yikes, See what'chas started. I better get my reservation in before their booked.

[ripstick]

I think by 1/25 this should have 50 pages.

[Northlander]

Cheffrey we will need to put GPS Chips on Quick and Loonasea this year. Wouldnt it be funny to watch over a few beverages?

[ripstick]

Now now now. We must be civilized. Put it on the big screen 70"

[Wanderer]

Cheffrey,

Yep, nothing like the originals....

[Quickstrike]

that's too funny steve. i think i got it out of my system last year though. I'll be at the paddle with Cheffrey and his better half. I'll have my sled and otter with this year, so I should be a little more productive out on the ice.

[ripstick]

hey kent do you think fm has all the rooms this year.

I'm sure they have room for the one and only Chuck Norris school of life.

Sorry Wanderer, Quickstrike was dubbed that name last year at the bash after we found him in the middle of the park hugging ice sculptures.

No offense he was only 6 days before you registered.
