Please come I am a newbie to the Get To Gator but a long time spearer and forum member. It will be fun to meet some fellow members and check out decoys spears and saws. I will have gas auger and saw along and a set of tongs. If its fun as I think it will be I will try to make the early one as well next December.

The tranny went out of my car this morning on the way to school, so with that, My spearing season is over and done.

Have fun guys, I will still make it the to bait store to make sure it is open for you guys, so I may see a few of you.

That sucks Gordie.

Gordy,

I should have an open seat in the truck and room for another set of gear if you want to ride along. I'm going right past you on the way by, so it's no problem. Let me know if your interested.

After all, Borden was your idea, hate to have you miss out.

[Gordie]

Thanks for the offer NG but I have to get this car up and running by Monday so my weekend has been decided for me.

I have an extra car you can use till the end of spearing season if you want to save the last two weekends..... you don't even have to worry about denting or scratching it....

I'm in the same boat (as to not really new to spearing but new to the group.) was thinking the same thing about Meeting fellow members and maybe picking up a new trick or two. My son is really exited to go to different lake. This is his second season spearing he really fell in love with it.

So someone explain please how the pot luck works, and what's left to bring? I would be happy to add whatever is needed. how many people usually show up?

Jaymo

[MJ1657]

Jaymo99,

I'll have a couple kids about your boys age with. As far as the potluck we usually have it by my house at noon. Bring whatever you would like. So far we have, venison, brats, chili, bars, and chips as far as I know. We always have plenty. I think we're at around 15 people by my head count.

We have had close to 30 people for the Winnie gtg.

[Jaymo99]

I could bring a couple cases of assorted soft drinks, and I'll also pick up something to go with the meal. Can either pick up some store bought cookies or something, or if you brat guys want I can pick up a couple dozen buns.

That sounds perfect. We have someone bringing the buns so were good there.

Venison is thawing and will be in marinade tonight. We will bring a 6 ft folding table as well. I will bring some large trash bags. MJ1657 don't forget the grill!!! Has anyone ever speared Borden? I have never been there so will need some guidance. See everyone at the boat landing. Is there only one landing? still 8am?

Grill is in the truck and having that table will be nice. Landing is right on 18 just south of the bar. 8 am will work.

Looking forward to meeting the new guys that are coming up.

[MJ1657]

I'm packing my truck and leaving any extra equipment behind. If anyone needs something let me know and I'll throw it in.

I'll have a bump board for measuring fish.

If anyone is late I'll have an American flag courtesy of Merk flying on the back of my truck. It should be easy to spot us.

[mrklean]

See you guys at 8 tomorrow

[mwal]

Venison is bathing in a marinade. See everyone at 8

[hawkeye43]

[MJ1657]

I hope to be there by 8.

You have a long drive.

[CFD200]

I think I might join you guys whether any of my sons come with me or not. I have wanted to come other times but have been busy. I took my spear house of the lake tonight and I have it in the trailer. I will bring some Cajun Venison Sausage.

[MJ1657]

We are all set up and spearing. Great turn out of 18 people.

[CFD200]

I have never speared in 19 feet before but that is where the truck got stuck. We have see two smaller ones. Waiting for the big one.

[Neighbor_guy]

I ended up in 10-12'

Took a 24" for the pickle jar. But that's the only fish I've seen thus far.

[mrklean]

28"&31" on the ice seen two other small ones

[MJ1657]

The little guy got a little guy.

[Neighbor_guy]

Hey!!! Well done Joe!!!

[MJ1657]

The new Nord Lord!

Hawkeye43 with a fat 30 3/4" pike.

[MJ1657]

Rough crowd!

Lots of fun today. We all ate enough to bust. Venison steaks, Cajun venison sausage, brats, cheese venison brats, summer sausage and sticks, chips, brownies with and without nuts and special k bars, and sodas.

Great to meet the new guys. I have a feeling the Winnie gtg is going to be huge.

[griswolds]

Congrats Hawkeye!

To Bad Kevin turned green behind the gills He was a sweaty mess by the time I got him home. Nice to put faces to screen names congrats on the fish. I hope to make Winnie. Snowed down here off to plow snow now

[CFD200]

Congratulations and thank for pulling me out of the snow drift. Thanks to everyone that got me un-stuck and it was a pleasure meeting you all. My sons asked me why I would want to go meet up with a bunch of people I do not know to go spearing. I told them that most people that spear are good guys and girls. Keegan, the son that came with me stated how nice everyone was. Mike thanks for grilling, you did a great job. I am still full. I will keep an eye on the first week of December for the Winny trip.
