I have an idea

[Jim Panfish Uran]

For a get together!!!

For those that are into camping and don't mind spending a night back in the "brush"

I've got a few lakes that I fish that have decent campgrounds on them. Great fishing too, from sunnies and crappies to pike and walleyes!

Just trying to gauge if there is anyone interested in doing something like this. I actually go back and camp quite a bit during the summer, there are a ton of lakes along the Height of the land road and the strawberry mountain road that have quality fishing in them and those lakes can be explored during the day, but there are only a few that have camping available

Sometime in May would be the best, or heck even June. I tend to slow my camping down when the bugs start bombarding me

If anyone would be game for something like this, let us know!!!!!!!!

Jim:

Count me in, any weekend but Memorial. Even that campground on Long is not too far out of the way especially for "secret" lake that we hammered them end of day this winter; and that is a nice campground that they probably spray for bugs too. Not "back in the brush" but just a thought.

[Jim Panfish Uran]

Yeah that's an idea too. Otherwise look up Big Rock lake, google earth it or whatever lol. It's a decent fishing lake surrounded by awesome lakes. And it has a decent campground set up with an old outhouse.... better than hunching over in the brush like a bear HAHAHA!!!

I'd be game Jim

Cool idea, Leechy! Do the lakes you're thinking about have accesses on them? I've got an 18' Skeeter- could I put it in most of these bodies of water? I'm not sure if I could swing it or not, but it'd sure be fun! I'm very interested...

I sure wish I wasnt moving home tommorow to start work. That sounds like alot of fun.

[Jim Panfish Uran]

Yes Scoot they do, I've had my 18 foot Tyee in all the lakes I care to fish back there. There are a few lakes out there that you wouldn't be able to get in to but there are plenty you can access.

Now when we set a date, we will just have to hope and pray for good weather lol.

[Jim Panfish Uran]

Yeah Basswhacker... Just skip out on work and come back up for the weekend

Ok it's going to either be the weekend of May 19th or the Weekend of June 2nd....

[Jim Panfish Uran]

Ok, so apperently I have a group of people coming up from a church in Coon Rapids on the weekend of May 19-21.

So the logical thing to do is just call it a June 2nd deal. So let's get together on June 2nd and catch some fish, cook some good food, drink a few cups of coffee or a couple of adult beverages and talk fishing!!!

[Scoot]

Dang- I'm out. I'll be in the Duluth area fishing a tourney with a buddy. That being said, there was a good chance I wouldn't make it regardless of the date- such is life...

Leechy, after that first weekend in June we need to plan a muskie outting!

[Jim Panfish Uran]

I am game for that Scoot. I've always wanted to chase muskies, just never have had the opportunity!!!

[LengbyPrincess]

that sounds awesome, you men will have a good time! i can't wait to camp memorial weekend!!! i'm anxious to catch some walters and snakes too!
