Hey all,
I'm tentatively planning a meeting for the 2002 summer league for Friday November 30th at 7pm at my place here in Sauk Rapids.
I would like to discuss league format, dates, decide what lakes we will be fishing, hold an election for league officials, scoring systems, and just discuss what worked and did not work last year. Everyone who took part in the league last year is welcome as is anyone who might want to be involved next year. Please post your thoughts and weather or not you could make this meeting.
Thanks,
Tom

If there is food involved I will be there.Something about really good buffalo wings?

If my schedule allows I will be there

Paul

Can I bring some of the extra food home this time?

Yes, I plan on doing the wing thing again. How about having everyone who attends bring a food item such as a bag of chips or something? Wouldn't be mandatory, but you could if you want.

Hi Gullguide,
I don't know if I can make the meeting,
but I am interested in doing some of the tournaments next summer. I am not
fishing the MWC any more and I now have
the time to get involved. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help,
I suddenly have lots of free time on my hands.

Hey Guideman,
One thing that was brought up was holding maybe a 2 day tourney up on the big V. Any thoughts on this one?

Oooooh! Now were talking!!!
I might even have a chance on this lake!!

Gullguide, Let me know what you would like me to bring. Being that I work in a restaurant just about anything is doable.

Paul

Gullguide,
That would be cool, it never hurts to have the home field advantage.
There are several campgrounds that are
available or you guys could camp at my place.
How soon will you have a schedule for the events? I don't want to book that date with a client.......Please keep me informed, I'll help anyway I can.

I'd like to have all decisions made the night of the meeting. The sooner people could plan, the better. How difficult would it be for you to fish other events Guideman? The way it sounded during conversations last year, most of the lakes will be north of Brainerd with the Alex area potentially having one event. This is going to be a once a month deal for the league with 1, possibly 2 larger events planned.

I'd love to see you guys throw one up on L.O.W - june out of warroad, the fishing should be hot....maybe ice-out pike fishing the end of april, first part of may. thought I'd throw it out there so you guys don't forget us northerners!

Gullguide,
I should be able to let you know more after the schedule is out. I have taken
a few reservations for next season...so it will depend what I have on my schedule. I would like to fish them all
if I can, I like the idea of having a few more up north.

Guideman, can you send a list of preferred weekends to have one on the Big V to GullGuide just prior to our meeting so we can be sure to pick the right date for it?

We really want it to work out well for you Cliff, and Dave if possible.

GullGuide, maybe you can work out a Date with Guideman, Cliff, and Dave before the meeting?

Just a thought. I'd hate to leave it up to chance at the meeting.

I would love to be there, but we have other plans on 11/30, so I can't make it. Here is my 2 cents worth:
1) A great part of the fun is making friends and learning from others. So keep or add things to support that, such as the mid-day break. How about an evening fish fry once or twice?
2) Longer trips that encourage a campover are good for #1 because we share stories around the campfires.
3) I love fishing the big northern lakes. Vermillion would be fun; I like Kabetogama also.
4) if you consider Lake of the Woods, maybe schedule when the fishing is good in the river in case the wind shuts us out of the big bay?
5) We could extend the season on the front end on the Mississippi River(pool 3 or 4) in late April or early May.
6) How about a full moon trip to Mille Lacs on 9/20 (3:00pm to midnight?). Maybe just a group event and not bother with a tournament because of the slots.
7) I can't make the weekend either side of July 4.
