So far I'd say I'm in.  Haven't looked that far ahead on the wife's calendar at home though!

[Crankinsmallies]

That's the D&R Sports series Classic tournament, pick a different date.

8 votes for 10/4, 5 more than anything else.  Seemed as good as any and no one said anything about any open dates then.

[Slipkey]

I'm in as a boater.

[1javelin]

I will be at the D and R Classic tournament that day, which may possibly be somewhere up there in North country.

There's no way to pick a date that everyone had open. Thanks for picking the best apparent alternative and getting this going. You made me happy. At least several other people so far. I'm sure Randy or whomever is running the circuit won't be too upset with a few of us getting together for a forum fishing hangout day. Thanks!

NBAA is having there fall championship on Hubbard Lake in September.  I will be there for 5 days of smallie fishing. Hope the weather behaves for all of us.

It better dartag. I hate to drive 2 hours to get soaked like last year.

[Mike S.]

I will probably take my boat up for that.

[mikballa]

mikballa in as a non boater.

Oh come on... 2 hours?  More like an hour and 50 minutes!  LOL!   It's a solid 2 hours for me and I can't wait!

[YpsiBass]

Life swallowed me up for a bit. I forgot this was here.  A little over a month away. Do we still want to do this?

[Waterfoul]

Heck yeah!!!

[Mike S.]

I'll drag my boat up there for the day. Put me down as a boater.

[Firefighter Jeff]

   I'm in.  Not sure as a boater or non.  Don't have much experience on Portage.

[YpsiBass]

Bump.

[Slipkey]

I'm still in.

[cameraguy]

  I'm in.  Not sure as a boater or non.  Don't have much experience on Portage.

Really? It's a $5.00 contest that is always short of boaters. Why wouldn't you bring your boat and just go fishing?

[Waterfoul]

Yeah Jeff!!  What Camera Guy said!  Look at the map... I'm sure you can figure out where the fish should be.
