Get together 2013

I'll leave where to launch to people familiar with the lake.  BBQ sounds good.  Burgers and dogs again.  Somewhere with a shelter at least in case the weather is less than kind.

April 27th is the date, who's in?

I'm there.  Regarding the launch.  We have a few options.  Any of the launches can work, then we could go to Metro Beach for the BBQ.  Or, we could launch there to save the hassle, but is is a little more expensive to launch there.  Another option would be to see if there is a picnic area at the point where the 11 Mile launch is located.  I'm not sure.  I know people shore fish out there but not sure about the a picnic area.  I can go ask.  Another option is to launch at the Cutoff Ramp or 11 Mile Ramp and see if we can get in to Memorial Park afterwards.  I'm a resident, so I think I can get people in there without any problems.  Again, I'll ask and find out.

Maybe opening day isn't the best time?

The day after?

I was thinking sometime later in the year, I am actually pretty busy until after school is out :/

Yo, bring your foul weather gear.  LOL.  I hope this crappy weather clears up by next weekend.  I'm still planning on being there even if Ypsi and I are the only ones.     Hey Rick, wanna fish with me or one of the other guys who signed up?  LOL.  Come on guys, I know there are lots of bros and sisters out there who plan to fish the opener on the best Smallie lake in the world, so come join us.  We'll be launching at 11 Mile ramp to make it easy to get on the Mile Roads.  Regarding a BBQ, I'd like to suggest something different since it's looking like a small crowd.  It's a tradition of mine to have lunch after fishing at this little diner right by the ramp called Lake Breeze.  They make good Walleye.  That way I get to eat fish even if I have a lousy day of fishing. (if there is such a thing)  How about we do it the easy way and save the BBQ for the fall when we can get more people to come.  Rick, I'm gonna PM you an idea about that.

WHO'S IN?  Come on Mojo, UAW BD, Bassnkid, BigJC and all you other St. Clair addicts....  Let's make this a fun and memorable opener!

If you want the TL;DR version: I had a great time fishing with Revtro.  Wished we could have got more people together from the CAB, but maybe in the fall we can get more interest.

Keep picking a date and then sticking to it. It may not work perfect or even well but you 2 got out. Everyone is so 'busy, busy.'

Pick a date and then link the post to the calendar too. That makes it a little more noticeable.

This will give me more push to figure out in my new design how I make things easier for everyone.
