Location: Ft. Wayne Indiana | Like Greg said, I am pretty much in.
Lets get together and land some christmas piggies!
So, talk to the wifes, girlfriends, or whoever you have to talk to. Let's see if we can get a few guys around.
KY or IL has my votes.

| I would be in for something if I can work it out with the ex, kids, girlfriend, etc. However, I was planning on being in WI around New Years. It would have to be 12/27, 12/28, 12/29, or 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6. I would drive with someone from Chicago, or meet you down south someplace with all my gear ready to jump on your boat and fish.

MuskyBoy, I live in the Chicago area and would split gas with you if you're going?

| I could possibly make 26th-27th. Have to be back on the 28th to pick up my new Lab puppy. I say Kincaid, as I've never been there. Mizzou is probably too far, but the Cave could be a possible.
NEW LAB PUPPY....That's way cool Shep... Edited by Mark H. 12/10/03 7:47pm

| OK,
I just heard from Sunshine, and he has clearance for the 26th-27th. Two day deal almost eliminates the Cave for us.
Greg and the others, does Kincaid work for you? KLY, we will probably be in a 1900 Lund ProV, and there will be room, unless you hook up with Greg or somebody else.
Koepp, E, Boy, KLY, mikie, MHulbert, tommyv, MarkH, PK? Anybody else? Shall it be Kincaid for the 1st Annual MF X-mas Last Chance Muskie Hunt?

| What about Shelbyville? It's a couple hours closer. Is it ice free at this time of the year? Extreme One, you've been there. What say you? |

Location: Washington, PA | Well, just checked directions, too far for me. If it ends up at the cave, I'm in. |

| You gotta work the day after X-mas? ROFL!
OK, so we should decide between Shelbyville and Kincaid. I guess the shorter distance makes Shelby a better choice for me. Sunshine is up for that, too.
Greg, this is your idea originally. What do you say? ToddM, MHulbert, MarkH, PK, what do you guys think? Musky Fever. Your thoughts? |

Location: Minneapolis,Minnesota | I think I can make it, but my boat is in storage. Anyone got a spot for me? I got gas $$ and coffee....
EEeee, I'll be in Fondy for X-mas so if you wanna ride together that may be a possibility?
My vote is for Shelbyville. |

Location: Eau Claire, WI | Shep/Greg,
I was waiting to see what dates and what water...Then I'll see if I can make it work. I have no preference, have never fished either one.
Anyone have an idea about lodging fees, license fees, etc. or is this more of a "we'll figure it out when we get there" trip..:) I love those they're always fun...

| The only days I can go are the 26-27th. Looks like Shelby is the consensus so far.
DaveJ, what do you think? Can you make this? |

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | With this up comming weather we will need tip-ups not boats. 7 degrees tonight with calm winds=locked up water.
This might be wishfull thinking but I am still pumped for trying to get out.
My boat is winterized but I will break it out for one more run !!! |
|

| Damn cold here in suburban Chicago, so hopefully it warms up by the end of the month. This has the makings of a great annual event. I hope I can make the dates work and join you, and get my money's worth out of this IL license I have for bass fishing! |

Location: Bagley,MN 56621 | ok, I'm back. Sorry about that but was away for three days at training for the upcoming boat shows.
The following dates are for when I can fish, but all you folks can stay longer of course.
I get back from N.Y. sat afternoon Dec.27th, so would travel that night.
I would have to drive back on thurs Jan1, New years day. (we are moving boats into the Rice Lake mall on friday for our show Jan 2-11)
This would give me 3 solid hard-core days to fish, with some "light duty" also.
Shelbyville is fine..never been to Kincaid or Shelbyville.
Which one is the farthest south??
I'll check some stuff out and see what i come up with. |

Route 16 East, Shelbyville, 800.845.0414
Just talked to this guy, he said there is a discount for more than 4 rooms and staying more than 3 days.....vacancy available as of now.
2 full size beds.....$34+tax
2 queen size beds.......$38+tax
(never did ask if it was per person or room, but would think it's per room)
lodging seems cheap enough for me.
looking at weather.com and mapquest.com Shelbyville is about 2 hrs or so further north than Kincaid.
The 10 day weather outlook is a smidge warmer for Kincaid also.
I'll drive 2 more hours for a slob............what lake has the best chances.....Shelbyville or Kincaid??
will have to explore lodging options for Kincaid if we decide to go there.

Location: Alsip, Il | I would suggest Kinkaid, give Al Nutty a call for good up to date infor. If you go to Shelbyville, you may want to leave the boat on the trailer and fish the spillway. Al |
