2011 GettoGator on Lake Winnie....December 16th-18th **UPDATED 10/2**

[PGF]

Hi MJ, I am still planning on coming up for my first time at the gtg, trying to get my dad and brother in-law to come with. How does it work if we cant stay at the same place as everyone else and can we still be "in" on the get to gator? Is there a spot I could meet you guys on that friday either on the lake or wherever is best? Sorry, I know this is late but I will be there and am looking forward to it! Just need a little more info so i can meet up with everyone as I've never met you guys before. thanks

[bassNspear]

You are welcome to come no matter where you are staying. We all meet on the lake in the morning, and then usally do something for lunch on the water, and then we hang out all night, and have a poker tournament.

MJ, You still have the same cell # as last year? That way we can call you friday. Looks we will be on Cass lake the 4 days before the get-together. Its going to be a great week.

[MJ1657]

I still have the same cell number Hawkeye.

PGF, my number is seven 6 three- seven four four- eight seven one 8.

Give me a call when you get up there and we can all figure out where we will be. My plan is to be on the lake Friday afternoon setting houses.

For everyone coming don't forget too bring you fishing gear you might find some jumbo perch hanging around you decoys.

[hawkeye43]

And the big sunfish, but you guys can leave them for behindthehead and I

[BehindtheHead]

o ya monster sunfish. biggest i have ever seen through the ice.

[Laska]

You guys are forgetting 17-18" crappies!! Good luck getting them to bite tho!

Ill be on cass that week before aswell doing a whole week vaca should be a blast!

[bassNspear]

who you going with laska lol

[bassNspear]

SO i didnt get a cabin, as i didnt find enough people to go in on it.

From talking to alot of guys that are going to be there, sounds like most people are going to get set up on friday afternoon, so they have a full day on saturday and sunday.

As always, meal at noon on sunday at the AMERICAN FLAG. FOr the newbies, you will understand when you see it.

Everyone plese bring a something to pass around for the pot luck at 11:30 on sunday.

We will have items to give away, along with the spearing decoys for 1st, 2nd and 3rd CARVED BY LASKA DECOYS

Now, lets make ice!!

[fishuhalik]

if anyone needs last ninute lodging i still hae 3-4 open beds at my cabin. also bns, i'll be angling, can i still qualify for the prizes? either way really looking forward to it!

[Laska]

BNS I'm going with a wierdo from the st cloud area, he's got the crazy idea that plastic decoys r better than anything else.... isn't that crazy hahaha

[Gordie]

Fishuhalik I have a couple of prizes for the GTG that I will get to you along with your neo-gloves

[hawkeye43]

Laska, Is grandpa Tom coming or other one???

[bassNspear]

fish, how far is your cabin from the resort?

you can join us, no problem at all

[MJ1657]

Forecast for the next ten days looks good for making ice up there.

I am not a cook so I won't be much help making anything but I do have some camp stoves or a Honda generator we could use if someone wanted to make chili or something we could heat up out on the ice.

I'll gladly pitch in some $ if someone is willing to make something like that.

[fishuhalik]

chili? oh, i got that one! i'll make it before i head up so it can marinate. i was hoping you had my gloves elwood!

[fishuhalik]

& bns, it's about 15 miles from 3rd river.

[Laska]

Laska, Is grandpa Tom coming or other one???

Other one. You want me to bring the big perch, it won me 3rd place collectable decoy carver of the year so I'm done with it now, you still have first dibs, whites tackle is second...

[PGF]

Are we there yet?

[bassNspear]

were getting close. Hopefully it stays cold.

[fishuhalik]

This should start making some ice. Not as cold as I'd like to see but it's a start. At least we should be able to drive wheelers out. Trucks, not so sure...

[hawkeye43]

I am bringing my fish fryer saucer. I can deep fry fish, potatos, mushrooms, onions or what ever else we have.

I can make chili for Saturday on the ice.

[MJ1657]

I heard from a fairly reliable source that Dixon's is putting some houses out on Thursday. They have three inches of ice out from the landing.

[bassNspear]

MJ, i hope your right, cuz im getting very excited to get up there.

I was going to call them today to find out whats going on as far as ice goes, but thanks for this information.

[bassNspear]

i got the weapon ready for the LORD TROPHY

[bowhunt]

I don't know, I think the Nord Lord Trophy would look really good sitting on the shelf behind my bar. It's time for one of the new guys to take the trophy from these Veterans of the sport, hopefully it will be me.

[Gordie]

all I have to say is you young guns got a chance casue I wont be there. as this is how I came to give up the trophy in the first place good luck to all that try. Dealer has it now..

[bassNspear]

it will be in my office at work!!

[PGF]
