Sounds good Gordie. Maybe find out how early they will be open. I've heard some reports that they aren't open very early.

Still not going to listen to wisdom. I think I picked out a couple of great spots already by what I saw.

Gordie,

Where does one find a map for Borden or does everyone meet up and do communal spots? I am still trying to see if my buddy can make it. If not i will have extra spear and room in the Qfish 3.

We usually meet at the landing and pick a spot and head out. When I was up there last weekend I only seen 3 houses on the lake. Just the way I like it.

[mrklean]

hopefully we don't get anymore snow even with all wheel drive my truck stinks in the snow

[hawkeye43]

I can drag it around if needed.

The following day there were a few more than three as I stated one guy was setting 2 perm spearing shacks off of one of the mid lake humps near the plowed road and there were several portys set up on the south end and a couple of them looked like they were spearing.

The guy that was setting up the perms was driving a one ton dully 4wd and wasn't even working at it so I think it should be easy to get around and when I did my turn around out on the lake my truck had no problem driving through the snow. Less snow up that way than down here.

Mwal go on the DNR lake finder and you should be able to pull up a map of it.

[MJ1657]

A little over a week to go. Long range forecast is showing we might be able to have lunch without freezing like usual.

I'll be bringing a BBQ grill and venison brats and polish.

[mrklean]

Ill have my wife make some bars again

[Gordie]

The bait store just north of Princeton, Go North Outdoors will have decoys on hand and He said he would open the doors for us. The decoys he has are really nice and he has some BBQ size iffin we don't spear anything.

I have speared this lake in the past, my favorite spot has not been selected yet. Its a steep drop off, next to a shore, next to 80 ft. of water. In Garison there is, or was, a tackle and bait shop which was stocked very well. It is located when you make the turn off 169. on the right, on the hhwy to Bordon Lake.

How early will he be open? What time are we meeting at the landing?

[MJ1657]

8 o'clock work at the landing? Some guys are coming from further away. Is that to early?

[Gordie]

How early will he be open? What time are we meeting at the landing?

I'm sure riverrat will open early enough, I will try and meet him at the store plenty early enough to help wake him up.

8 am works fine

[MJ1657]

Well who's coming?

I'll have 4 in my truck.

[bowhunt]

I will be there, and I plan to pick up a couple of bags of chips to share.

[mrklean]

Looking like just the dog and myself

[Neighbor_guy]

Well after a very heated argument it seems there has been a scheduling issue in my ex's part with my youngin. So it's back to just 1 from the neighbor_guy camp. I may recruit another, but that will be a last minute addition.

[mwal]

It will be Myself and a partner. What do you want us to bring to share for lunch? I do have a Frying Saucer fryer don't know how it works in the cold and wind. I don't have any fish though. Otherwise let me know what's needed and we will bring it. We do have Venison if someone has a grill. I can marinate in terriyaki based sauce turns out good on the grill. Just let me know what to contribute

Mwal

[MJ1657]

Venison sounds great mwal.I will have a small grill with.

[mwal]

Sounds like a plan I will get my marinade fixins ready. Will check back later in the week to see how many will be going.
