Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Hi all, just wanted to drop a post here to thank John Laimon and Kevin for doing this. How cool is this for all of us to stop by and get pumped for the morning opener. Great food, beer, one of the best tackle shops around and great people all together for the pre opener.
Please feel free to show up and eat, drink and be friendly. Ask questions and maybe learn something. Remember the food was not free, the smoker is top of the line costs someone something.
My point is, PLEASE don't just take advantage of this situation. A few bucks will go a long way. Kevin is such a cool guy for doing this. Where else can you eat like a king and enjoy a few beverages for under $20. I plan to eat big time and wash that prime pork down with some Wisconsin brewski's. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying everyone should buck up $20, just pointing out how good of a deal this whole package is. I would bet $10 would add up very nice by the end of the night.
I am sooooo ready for May 4th to get here................ |

| This is the true spirit of the Opener ...
I'm planning on being there -
Local news / sports media should get notice to be there.
would make a cool sports story for the opening of fishing season.
Anybody looking for cheap lodging - there is also a Motel 6 ($39) on Bluemound and Barker.
In Oconomowoc the La Belle Motel is very reasonable. (262) 567 - 8133

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Kevin- Sounds like one great BBQ you guys are putting together. Unfortunately, I'll be in Mpls MN picking up my 2 new KT Professional Edge rods from Keith & taking the wife & grand kids to MOA (Mall of America). Yeah I know it's the southern opener & all that. But Keith's out chasing turkeys every weekend beween now & then. Besides I'm getting major future "get of jail free" cards from the Mrs. Warner.
Have fun!
Al

Location: Brookfield, WI | Gerard, glad to hear it. I was hoping a few Madison guys might come down. I'd like to think 6:00, but more likely 7:00. We'll want to make sure the meats are nice and smokey. You can't rush real BBQ. That gives guys coming from a distance or working that day time to get there, too.
Please let me know if you're coming for sure. We have a couple weeks and I'll do a roll call before hand.
Kevin
Dry rubbed and slow smoked. |

Location: Yahara River Chain | Kevin, still waiting to hear from Industries for the Blind - Milw about going there during the day for some training.
If it is a go, I will contact you about bringing something to eat as well. I hate to come empty handed.
BTW - I was in TN a few weeks back and went to one of those slow cooked BBQ places. Was that ever good!!!!!!! We here in the north think of BBQ as cooking something up fast and throwing some sauce on it. Not the case. We ate at a place in Oakridge called Capt Tom's BBQ (who's a guide as well) and he sat down with us and talked a bunch of fishing (mostly muskie). It was great. You know if I ever get back there, I will be stopping in again.
Will be in touch

| Dang...this sounds like a good time. I don't live far from Pewaukee, (and don't really know any of you guys) although I'll be up at the cabin getting my "bait" fishing out of the way for the season. We'll be spanking some walleyes, but I'm jonesing for toothy critters!
Good luck and have fun............. |

| Bob, don't worry about it. If I wind up coming up it will be last minute, so give the room to anyone who wants it. I can always sleep in the truck! |

| Just saying -- if someone wants the room don't hold it for me. If I wind up coming up and the room's empty, though I will gladly pay for half of it! |

Location: Brookfield, WI | Can't deliver, unfortunately, because a starving young college pup like you could probably use some smoked meats in his system.
Please consider attending our humble BBQ. Thought I'd bring this up for a reminder.
Kevin
Let's eat, then fish. |
