See you all there. I think the meetings have been more fun than the fishing.

Not sure about "more" fun but they are a good time.

Count me in.

[dsm95]

I think I'll give this a try, I caught the catfish bug last season and would like to gain some knowledge this season as a rider.

[wastewaterguru]

I'll be there.

I am ready for another fun season.

[aanderud]

How many dates this year and how can I join as a rider?

I'd like to join this in a few years when my daughter is older and I have less conflicts...if you'll have me.

We fish 6 nights throughout the summer, 2 in June, 1 in late July ( early July is spawn time) , 2 in August and, back by popular demand, one all nighter in September. We are limiting this to 18-20 people who can firmly commit to the nights we lay out at the first meeting. The first meeting next Friday at the Borough Bowl in Belle Plaine is when the actual dates are decided upon, and preliminary rider and captain rosters are set. There will be a second meeting late May with entry money due and roster lineups are set. I have to agree with Ed, the meetings are usually more fun than the fishing itself.

Hey Grump, Is the inflatable monkey going to be added to the festivities? Have you inflated that ugly thing yet to see what it looks like in its full glory?? Enjoy.

[Shamu]

See you guys there.

[Slowhand]

Pictures and smiles, looks like good camradere; unfortunate my schedule makes it impossible to consider. Papa G. is the Sept all-niter date exclusive to participants or can wanna-be's share in the laughs?

[hanson]

The All-Nighter is our last league event of the year so it is open to just League members. Couple years ago, we took Hooper's RiverPro on the "midnight ride" which started in Jordan and took us all the way to HWY 169 bridge and back again. Looooonnnnngggg night!

If you are interested in one or two events, you might want to consider signing up as a substitute rider. Seams like there is always someone in the league who has a conflict that comes up, finding a rider to sub at the last minute is tough at times. The bigger pool of potential subs we have, the easier it is to fill that spot.

I don't think anyone wanted to fish with me last year as I ended up with 'Shamu' (our dedicated sub) in my boat 3 league nights in a row last year. I think he brought the monkey in the boat too as those were 3 tough fishing nights.

[ec30_06]

Susbstitute captains are used too. Usually a surplus of people that want to be riders.

[Blue Kayak]

I'm looking forward to the league this year and seeing you all this Friday. I might be delayed as Saturday is my daughter's prom and may have to help decorate. Hopefully, I won't be drafted by the decoration committee.

[dsm95]

I can't wait.

[DTro]

See ya guys tonight!

[ec30_06]

This weather sure puts a damper on bringing the boat with.

[Papa Grump]

Friendly reminder...

Friday, May 23rd @ 7:30pm - Final Meeting @ Borough Bowl in Belle Plaine.

If you cannot make the meeting, please get in touch with myself.

For those who owe money, please pay up. Friday will be a good opportunity.

Captain/Riders will be paired up for the League Dates on Friday. Currently its looking like 6 Captains & 6 Riders with 6 League nights which means everyone will get to fish with everyone.

Meeting will hopefully be short as there is fishing that needs to be done.

[ec30_06]

Should I be brining the roughneck and bullies?
