The South Of the Border (SOB) chapter of Muskies, Inc. will be hosting John Gillespie at our next meeting on December 17th at 7:30 PM. Meetings are held at the Moose Lodge in Antioch, IL (right on 173).

There is a $5 charge for MI members and $7 for non-members. Free food is available as well as a cash bar.

I'm sure John will share some good stories. Join us SOBs for the fun.

If you haven't seen John speak, this is a must see. You will be rolling in the isles. He visited with the FRV chapter a few months ago and it was a riot!

He's alot more calm when not catching fish and is actually a pretty decent guy to listen to.

It's been a few weeks, so I thought I would refresh this as a reminder. Next Wednesday - Holy Cow!

He was at the FRV chapter this year and it was a riot.  Good entertainment.  Ask him to tell you the story about how he got started with his own show.  The risk he took makes for an amazing story.

John was at the Milwaukee Chapter last year and it is worth the trip.

You will laugh till your sides hurt. Maybe we can get a crew to go down to see it.

I plan to be there, but it's a hike. I have heard great things about John that you all echo here.

For those that make it, I'll have on a white Lake-Link baseball cap. I'd offer to introduce you to everyone; however I'm new so really don't know anyone yet.

Johns father(Earl)died last weekend. The wake was Dec16 and his funeral was this morning. Please give your regards when you see him tonight. Earl was quite the man and is highly regarded in the state of Wisconsin.

ToddM - sorry, I never logged on yesterday. John didn't make it due to his fathers death. I never got our guest speaker's last name. His first name was Greg and the presentation was on Mille Lacs.

dpratt, I went up last night, the guy at the door made it sound like there was no speaker so I left. Another guy was there at the same time and left as well. Has I known there was another speaker I would have stayed. No big deal, I will come up when John is able to make it. Food looked good though.

Hey Todd, that was me that came in and left because I thought there was no speaker...I too would have listened to a talk about Mille Lacs. My friend Troy just caught his first 50 incher there this Summer. I guess you will see Todd and me back for John whenever he makes it!
