Annadale Forum Get Together

[bassNspear]

FM’ers

I would like to welcome everyone to the 2008 Annandale Forum Get-Together that is going to be held on July 27th, on Clearwater Lake. Its going to be a time for everyone to come out and learn new fishing tactics, and get to have a great time meeting everyone. This is FREE…so I hope that everyone can come and enjoy a day on the water with other FM’ers

How its going to work is we are all going to meet at the Landing by 7:00 am, and we are going to fish until 11:30. Then we are going to meet at a place that we talk about at the landing in the morning, and just hang out and talk about how everyone is fishing, what they have caught, and how they are getting bites. This can be for all different types of fish, just don’t have to be one type, anyone can come and fish whatever.

After that, if you are still in the fishing mood, you can go out and use the new tactics that others have shared on how they have got there fishing and what they were doing to get them, or you can simply go home. Others can go out with others as well if you would like to get to know one another or learn something that you just don’t understand or whatever the case might be.

The best part about it is not getting the most fish, or getting the biggest fish, but going out and meeting everyone from the Annandale area, and having a great time on the lake.

Myself, along with Rockman will be at the landing earlier to meet and talk about where we are going to meet at 11:30. If you any questions, or are interested in coming, please shoot myself a email. I will be on the water from sun up to sun down.

Hope to see you all there!!!!!!!!!!!

Tami - My husband is taking the boat to Canada tomorrow for a week. He won't have it back by Sunday. So I have no boat.

Good to know that I don't need a boat though. Bass N Spear, count me in. I have fished Clearwater, not well at all, about 4-5 times. Always good to learn more about it.

If there are additional details I need to know, shoot me an email. char_hanson at hotmail dot com

[Tippman]

[bassNspear]

[bassNspear]

Do we have enough people to hang out and have a great time out on the water or should we postpond it for a later date. Im not getting alot of people at all. Right now I am showing 4 boats is all.

What does everyone think. I can go, but I didnt know if we wanted more people to show up to all hang out or not.

[bassNspear]

we are going to roll with it. See you all there in the morning.

[harvey lee]

So, who caught the biggest and most fish?

[bassNspear]

the good looking girl in the green little boat with the orange flag!!

[reelemin]

who - me

I ended up with 3 bass (about 12",14',14' ) and 2 northerens ( both about 22" - 24", ) Its darn hard to measure a northern in a yak.

ohh yea and a perch - o - maybe - 3.5 " ( the bait was at least half its size ) .

[bassNspear]

glad you had a great time out on the water Tami.

[reelemin]

it was alot of fun, a great group of people -

[bassNspear]

Yes it was. It is always great to put faces to names. We will have to do it again in the wintertime as well.

Thanks all who showed up!

So...is it too early to start thinking of a Clearwater early ice GTG? 1st-2nd weekend in Dec? I know there's a lot of soft water left, but fall does have a way of slipping by...may I suggest straight out from BJ's 200 yds. Easy walk. Walleyes,northerns, panfish can all be had. Was a good time at the July GTG, but I think one on the ice would be great.

[bassNspear]

dude, where did you pick that fish up at. Thats not a clear water fish is it?

[fishinmajishin]

No, the water was actually stained But I think I had a bigger one on a couple weeks ago out there.

[Patti]

Dang Steve!! When do I get to go?? I'm for any and all get togethers, regardless of group size or water type. If it's hard water, somebody will have to be patient enough to teach me.

Dad and I went out to Spring Lake here in the metro on Sun. Caught a bunch of small white crappies....largest was 8 1/2" and most were around 6". We don't keep anything under 9". But we had a good time. We took his boat out...hadn't had it out since the first week of July.

[fishinmajishin]

Hey, Patti. Don't know what the weekend plans are yet(only Tues!) Might be up north hunting, might be at home fishing. I'll know by Thurs eve. If I stay home, probably go out Sunday am. You are invited to join me. After this coming weekend, it looks like I'm going to be busybusybusy. I'll email you later.

[Patti]

Thanks Steve!! I was only 1/2 serious...hate to invite myself along. Besides, we're going thru process conversion at work this weekend. I normally don't work weekends but we're supposed to this weekend...just don't know which times which days. Stay in touch!

[bassNspear]

hey patti

have you taken the boat out this year at all yet?

[hydro]

Patti- I hope you've had that beautiful old Crestliner out and christened it with a couple of fish!

Hopefully we can get the hard water get-together planned and the group can catch up on what's happened since July!

[bassNspear]

You got that right Hyrdo. We will get that set up after the 1st of the year!

[Patti]

Thanks for asking Hydro and BNS -

The boat made it out a few times after the Annandale GTG....the ladies helped me learn the basics of handling it at the Women's Osakis GTG and I've had it out a few more times since. I went to the Mille Lacs GTG this weekend but it's a bit small for Mille Lacs. Hopefully I'll get it out one more time this year.

An ice GTG?? Depending on the date, count me in...I've never been in my life so it may end up being my first!! I'm trying to make all the GTG's I can....and learn as much as I can.

[bassNspear]

Im sure we will work something out.

Glad to see you got her on the water!

[hydro]

Bass N Spear,

How about setting up a winter GTG for Annandale? I see you have been asking in the Annandale forum about lakes. Let's put it out of BJ's on Clearwater. We can give them some business and it's easy to get to lots of good spots from their road.
