Official Gulll Lake Gathering 2010

[jts1]

Ok its official date will be Feb 6th 2010 on Gull Lake , Brownlows Landing. Below you will find a map of directions and a list of members who have said they will attend thus far. It will be a pot luck lunch for all attending a food list will be posted in due time. Anyone wishing to bring something please post along with your intentions to attend , I will update attendance and food list from time to time along the way. I believe myself and a few other members are looking to get some accommodations and spend the night with a few cold ones , a few cigars and maybe a game of pokers as well , I am sure there will be a few tall tales about the one that got away. We are looking for a cabin of some sort any information on such would be great. Then we can fish the Sunday as well. Hope to see you all out there.....

Food List

FishermanGuy - Chili
Redneck Posse- Moose Smokies
jts1 - salads , buns , condiments


OK lets all start thinking about what we are going to contribute to the pot luck. I believe WalleyDietz is going to bring his big ass tent , some of you will know it from last years pot luck on Chain. It will serve a s a great place for the meal to be served as well as a gathering place out of the elements with the stove in it. So put on your thinking caps and come up with a meal idea. I will be bringing bunch of fireworks for Sat night , if someone can provide a connection for firewood that would be great. If anyone has some tables for serving food on it sure would help. I thank you all for getting involved with this and am sure it will be a great time.

[redneck posse]

i have a table i can bring and if we get some fire wood i will bring 3 different types of moose smokies

[slingshotz]

Count me in for this as well. I promise I won't wander off too far this time :lol:

I'll do up a batch of my sour cream chocolate cake with marscapone topping for desert, hope no one is on a diet cause this is the opposite of fat free.

[Dougie55]

I have a folding 6 foot table I can bring as well. As soon as we have a menu, I can bring whatever I need to.. Burgers, dogs, buns, canned goods, whatever. Will probably make up 2 or 3 doz of my version of 'Red Lobster' garlic biscuits. They are usually a hit wherever I take them.

[bushman53]

I'll be there and can bring a truck load of firewood and a folding table, not sure yet what to bring for the potluck

[oagie]

I will bring soft drinks and snacks. I also have wood and a table.

[WayneChristie]

:D You guys can stay with me if you like

we will take you up on that offer. cant wait to meet some new people, and some old friends. (notice how I didnt call you old Cathy?) :evilgrin:

[flygirrl]

What!!!! Wayne be nice day, jst1 I will bring soft drinks as well. If you need something else let me know.

[Dougie55]

If wanted i can bring out a couple of boxes of really good burgers, as well. Anyone going to have a big ***** bbq to cook on? Wish I still had my barrel one...:(

[Dougie55]

I will probably go out on the Friday, and try for some perch towards the north side (depending on snow and such), so what would be a good time to meet up on the south end, on Sat? Would be glad to add what assistance I can in setting up stuff there.

[jts1]

Kajijji has one fire pit on one side and bbq on the other 45 gallon drum I think wants 40 bucks for it. Was thinking of buyn it , are they a good set up? And I am sure there will be a BBQ there even if its a little camp one.

[Dougie55]

Sounds like a set up I used to have.. Worked like a charm...Can use wood or charcoal in the bbq side. I too will be bringing my portable propane bbq. I would look at it myself, but have no garage now to store things like that in..:(

[FisherAlex]

I'm in for sure. Will bring firewood, buffalo burgers, table and will work on building a barrel bbq. Let me know if anything else is needed.

Cheers,
Alex

[FisherAlex]

Also, if someone decides to get that bbq of kikiji, I have plenty of room to store it. Just a thought.

Alex

[tonyflyfish]

Jeff if you want me to bring the 3 burner camp chef and the dual bbq box just say so.
will bring more desserts and the brother in law.

t

[Duck Hunt]

Alex the buffalo farm has several of them barrel bbq's if ya want, just ask Cole next time you see him, they have that big ***** grill also we could borrow! just a thought! Gona go fillet that big trout now.

[FisherAlex]

I didn't even think of that. Ill swing by his place tomorrow after work and get one. And that trout was just a baby, you're a monster

[baitfisher83]

If i'm able to go It may just be for the Sunday, assuming someone else is going up there for that day...Havent asked the boss for the Saturday off yet ass she's been a you know what the past couple days...

[pecker]

you just said what an ass she's been.:lol::lol::wave:

[baitfisher83]

It was a typo but yes it's fitting..lol

[pecker]

;)It was a typo but yes it's fitting..lol

[Fishingguy001]

What type fish are we hunting. I am told I make a killer chicken noodle soup. I will bring big a** pot.

[WayneChristie]

any regular Gull fisher people care to give us all a heads up on what we can catch, what to use and where? Maybe I should say Gull Lake fisher people, I can catch gulls already. they like smelts :lol:

[go-big-or-go-home]

perch and jacks for sure, oh and ling, mabey lol, and im sure most of you have better luck then i, so mabey sum whites and if ur super lucky you could bring up a walleye. ill probley jus target sum perch and if thats slow ill try to bring up sum stinky jacks lol hahaha

[tchow]

Been kinda slow at Brownlows ( for me anyways). Might have to load up the Quad and venture out to Wilsons. Always been good for me there for Ling, Whites and Burbs..

[michelle]

Hey everyone! Have a great time!

I am working so may be next time, gotta work that weekend.:wave:

[oagie]

Pike, perch and whitefish. If your unlucky you can pick up a ling or two. :sick:

Bring a tipup or two for pike, smelts or whatever you use.

For whitefish you need to site fish for them. A tent is a must. Wireworms are the best in this lake. Bring yellow, oranges, reds. I typically only use yellow.

The perch are funny in this lake. I have never found a school of them in deep water. Only a few cruising in about 8-15' of water. Decent sizes, most I have caught are 8-12 inches. Use your typical perch jig with a maggot or perch eye.

I have never fished brownlows. I find it more crowded then up the west side.

[Hunter Trav]

Sounds like I've got something on the go for that weekend, or so my wife tells me. If I can I'll swing by with the new gator and you guys can try it out...

[Marlin07]

Just got back from 3 days of fishing out at Gull. Managed a wire worm grand slam! walleye, perch, whitefish, ling and a jack all on 4lb test and a yellow wire worm. Fishing was spotty over all but still good to be out.

Hey BBJ some of those worms you are doing yellow? :D have to buy some from you I guess.

[jts1]

I will update the guest and food list on sat night as I am in Moose Jaw Sask right now doing some family stuff. Thinking of doing some fishing down here this weekend Defenbaker Lake or Long Lake I think.

[FishBrain]

Alright, I will do my best, so add me to the list!! I will bring out my daughter (maybe both) with me. I will also bring out some mule deer pepperoni, and try to bring some mulie burgers!!
If anything else is needed of me let me know.
Gonna be a great day of fishing.

[The Fisherman Guy]

I for one am STOKED for this trip!! I will bring my shack, and Twotwelve guy will bring his Ice Cube. Just curious to know how the cabin thing is working out? I will pitch in for a cabin to stay at with some other board members, most certainly going to be a good time!

Jeff, thanks again for getting this together. Please let me know what I can do to help you out for arrangements. I can bring my charcoal BBQ, but it only fits about 12 burgers at a time, some of you might remember it from the PCR gathering. I can also bring my turkey deep fryer, so we should also get a fish fry organized during the day! I will bring the oil, fryer and frying tools - anyone is welcome to bring their homemade batter mixes or whatever else they would like to fry up - it's open for anyone and everyone to use.

I should also be able to build up a firepit here in my shop. I will get to work on it right away, and will keep this thread posted on any further developments.

Thanks again, if I can be of any help to anyone, or if you are interested in sharing a cabin, send me a PM!

I heard a rumour that if you can make it thru the whole day Saturday without running into the back of something, OR falling in a hole, that BBJ will wear both his thong and his tutu on the ice Sunday.

Its been soo nice here in Sask , I have not heard a pink fishing rod or a bad wife joke in over a week. :tongue2: Just remember I dont have to get you body down the hole just hold your face in it with my boot...... Besides you old birds know I make you look good. Hope 2 see you guys out there.

[SuCraM]

Looks like my contact at Sylvan does not work there anymore so we will have to try and find other lodging arrangements. Hope someone can find us something as I really want to stay over at least one night and fish Saturday and Sunday. As for food I will bring some baked goods cookies and some peanut butter squares. My girlfriends mom is really good with baked goods so if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

[tchow]

If I can book the day off, I make a showing for the day and fish. Likely to take the Quad on so I can explore. With all the nice weather, hopefully we'll get colder conditions so there is a much better Ice base..

Alex K: I'll call when it gets closer. You can catch a ride if you don't want to drive on..

[WayneChristie]

My girlfriends mom is really good with baked goods so if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

not that I could post in a family forum :evilgrin::lol: whats she look like? :innocent:

[jts1]

Into the wine again were we Wayne

[redneck posse]

too bad Geezle cant bring his wife too, between her , yours, and mine we could have some good times betting on fastest times to shore with every crack :evilgrin:

wayne i'm bringing the GF so we can take side bets:evilgrin:

[baitfisher83]

Haha you guys will be stuck with me,,I don't run from ice cracks..

[WayneChristie]

wayne i'm bringing the GF so we can take side bets:evilgrin:

Ice racing, guess we could have 2 heats, one with cleats and one without :evilgrin:

[WayneChristie]

Into the wine again were we Wayne

[DarkAisling]

Ice racing, guess we could have 2 heats, one with cleats and one without :evilgrin:

:lol: Reminds me of a "Mythbusters" episode. :D

Still don't know if I'll be there yet. I might have two teenagers with me if I come. Whatever food I bring if I do come will be whatever looks good in the Safeway deli or bakery on the Friday night.

[kinwahkly]

i will check my schedule if I have that weekend off I would like to come, AL

Hey I never said your wife was bad - reflecting back I think your wife is pretty darn good :evilgrin:
For the pink fishing rod - well..... if the shoe fits buddy... maybe you could catch more fish with it ( it was built for a lady and they seem to be catching all the fish lately - right WAYNE ):lol:
I'm never worried about the holes in the ice - Some 6's mostly 8's , I drill 9's, seen some 10's but my head is wayyyyy to swollen from my ego to fit in any of those :lol:
The real reason you make us look good is because we can catch more fish than you ( pink rod or not ):lol::lol:

By the time you get back the bite should be on again - so hurry the heII up !

I think my ears should keep me safe from any hole under 12 inches:D and yes, Jeff get back here with our fish!!! Men came out ahead this trip, and Shelleys shouldnt count after she got faked out on the first flag :lol:

[oagie]

I should be able to help you out with a ride.

It looks like I might have a full truck now. Momma and the chitlens will probably join me if the weather is nice. We will visit my brother in Rimbey and make a weekend out of it. They are fair weather fishers but I would hate to leave you stranded with little notice.

You might want to find other travel arrangements for now, and if anything changes with their plans I will let you know. Sorry. :ashamed:

[Mudslide]

Unfortunately I have discovered that I have to be at an AGM that day and so I won't be able to make it. I'm pretty bummed about it but there's no way for me to get out of it. Sorry guys/gals, I'll do my best to make the next one.

An annual general meeting on a Saturday is pretty lame.

[oagie]

This sounds like a good time might try make it on sat coming from southeast of calgary. Wheres best place to get a room close to gull?

Lacombe, Bentley, Sylvan, Rimbey, Red Deer. All within 30 minutes.

I have found few places on Gull and close by. Take a look and let me know. Thought we could fish Gull Sat and maybe do Sylvan an Sunday if the cabin works out to be on Sylvan Let me know what you guys think. Some are up to 400 a night but sleeps up to 10 peeps. here are a few links..

Anyone with any other ideas please feel free to post.

[slingshotz]

They all seem to be summer only cabins to me but I couldn't find anything saying otherwise.

I did find one for the winter at http://www.vacationrentals411.com/vacation/25944.html?type=2 in case anyone is interested. We would love to stay overnight but it's harder to find a pet friendly place.

[jts1]

Nope I have called the seond one and they are free for that weekend

[The Fisherman Guy]

WOW! :D I think we should put our heads together and round up a few people and "splurge" on the big one at Sylvan, the last one on Jeffs list. That way we can fish Sylvan on Sunday, and make a little vacation, meeting new friends out of a typical weekend.

If we get a few people together, looks like there is 4 bedrooms and most likely two pullout beds to sleep up to ten people. If we can get ten, it's only 40 bucks for the night, each. A bargain anyway you look at it, for an awesome place like that. Not to mention the poker and pool games in the walkout rec room!

Would be terrific to just walk out onto the ice at Sylvan and fish the next day...

I am in, and I will pay up to $100 to share with other board members. Jeff, let me know man, you arranged it. I think you and your wife should have the master suite, for all your hard work, and putting up with all the accusations of being a pink rod guy :lol:

[jts1]

It would be a great place for sure. As for the master suite I dont need it man the wife ain't going to be along on this one. She has her wedding shower that weekend and her stagette the next. So its a batch thing for me. She dont like not being able to come. Poor her she has got to sit around with the gals , get gifts and drink wine Boo Hoo.... So a bottle of Jamison's and a bed is all I need If I get lonely I got Steve to snuggle with.

All of those interested in spending the night and sharing the cost of cabin could you please PM me

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

Cool Idea of the Cabin , but I think it will be a day trip this time . I dont know if you mind but I also spread the invite to the folks over at Ice Shanty to come check it out . And gave them the link to check things out here . Hope thats cool . I guess its simple if people dont bring grub to share they dont partake in your feast .

[jts1]

You bet.. I will check out your thread on there

[rxxxm22]

hope the stars will align so that i can make it with gramma and the gkids .....trying to bunk up at a friend's in sylvan so the sun sylvan deal would work out well for us ........will be there with chicken wings [not on me....to eat !!]

grampa and the Gkids

[WalleyeDeitz]

Diddnt realize there was a new message going around about this trip. I am still in and can bring the large tent and stove. The stove is great for cooking anything in a pot or frying pan and anyone is welcome to use it. I think I have had around 16 people in there ice fishing before so anyone without a tent is welcome to jam inside.

JEFF - I have never been to this lake and would be more than willing to drive us if you can show me the way.

I would also pitch in for the cabin thing as well...or we could find a way to sleep in the tent but the floor gets a lil wet on the ice with the stove going.

Looking forward to it.

Jeff Deitz

[baitfisher83]

stand out on the high way with your fishing equipment and show a little leg.:evilgrin: hell i bet you have a ride in 10 min. :lol::lol: just dont wear the flames jersey:tongue2:

pick 2 words :P

[WayneChristie]

If they aim their cars like their team shoots, i'll be safe...

[SuCraM]

Well boys and girls I have talked with the wife and I am in for Saturday at Gull for sure fro the day. Will talk more with her to see if I can persuade her to let me stay over a night to fish Sylvan the next day but that will be tough with a new 4 1/2 month old little guy.

[Dougie55]

I am going down on Wed or Thurs, and probably not heading back till Mon, but would be happy to do both the lakes in between. Although only have the one big bed in the back, if someone has a sleeping bag, they could probably bunk with me one night if needed. I keep two in the van, but I like it cool when I sleep, so they are not -50 bags.
Should have all the amenities to survive and eat..haha
Bringing 2 tables actually. 1- 6 footer, and 1- 4 footer.
Will have the little bbq and extra camp stove as well as the one in the trailer.
Will also be bringing 5 gal of bottled water, and 5 gal of Edm tap water, if some is needed.
(Plan on making a short trip to a nice small trout lake that is doing well tight now as well)

[Sandalius]

So a bottle of Jamison's and a bed is all I need If I get lonely I got Steve to snuggle with.

Not too sure about this - I'm thinking NOPE DON"T THINK SO.......... however it did seem to work out pretty good for me and your wife the last time you had a bottle of Jamisons....... too bad she won't be there.

Did your your wife tell you I was good at snuggling ????

I know I know your gonna want to try to put my face in a ice hole or many other bad things blah blah blah..... Pretty funny stuff though

Seriously though I'm just pulling your chain, cause I'm here and your not. I know you really miss all the cheap shots and she has a good laugh watching your face turn red, waiting for your head to pop off.:lol:

I'm thinking about bringing some kind of mystery meat for the pot luck ( seems to do pretty good at these gatherings and haven't had anybody not like it yet )

[jts1]

Smart ass , no comment. Have you been told today?? Anyways this one is booked for that weekend

[hillbillyal]

Crap. The Calgary sportsmen show is on the same weekend.

[DarkAisling]

Crap. The Calgary sportsmen show is on the same weekend.

Yup . . . I noticed that too. We were planning to go to the show to drool over boats.

Droolin' over boats trumps Gull for me, as I might actually be able to convince hubby to buy one :D

[rxxxm22]

looking forward to that gettogether.......i will be there ....probably my wife [Mar]will 2 and with luckthe gkids [gavin and Jonah]
will bring a bucketfull of wings

ronxxxmar

[WayneChristie]

I quit going to the sportsman show years ago, same old same old, I can see commercials on tv. or I could if I watched tv :D then they made the trout pond C and r? for hatchery fish? my kids were really dissapointed over that so it was the last straw for me.
Besides, it will be way more entertaining to watch Jeff get outfished by a bunch of little kids, and some of them maybe even with the same pink rod as his!!! :evilgrin:

[Dougie55]

Hey, the way these types of get togethers go, the kids will probably outfish most of the adults...:):)

[jts1]

Ok I am going to try and book this place for Sat night. I have got a confirmation from a couple guys that they will stay the night so less I get a swarm of you telling me you are in also I think it will be big enough

I will wait till Tuesday before I book it just in case.

http://www.cottage-canada-usa.com/listing/1328.htm

[WayneChristie]

cant wait. havent figured out what to bring for the potluck yet, we will think of something before then, if you have any suggestions let me know.

[baitfisher83]

:sick::sick::sick: is that the smell of smelts in my house....:lol::lol:

hahah If I can get up there, I'll be helping him stink up the place with smelts:P

[flygirrl]

Being from the maritimes, and considering my father was a smelt peddaler, and I used to bag 2 tons of frozen smelt into 5lb bags every weekend Im well used to the smell LOL
Wish I had some from the north shore I'd fry us up a feed.

[ericlin0122]

I really wanna join this event, but I'm new to ice fishing.
Is it ok to join for Saturday (Feb6) only?
What things should I bring?
Thanks, Eric

swing on by if u need gear i have a dozen rods and a ton of hooks. plus a extra tent.

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

Correct me if Im Wrong But this is set for The 6th Saturday not the 7th Sunday . ive read but not really interested in reading 5 pages of Most important information . :evilgrin::evilgrin::evilgrin::lol::lol::lol::lol:

[HILLYBILLYBARRY]

Kevin did i read correctly you have a girlfriend?

[baitfisher83]

Kevin did i read correctly you have a girlfriend?

Play nice :P

[Dougie55]

I too will have lots of rods, reels, tip up, hooks, etc if needed to be borrowed.
Just look for the old blue Ford camperized van.

[FishBrain]

It sounds like the whole family is going to go up with me. Amelia (wife) is going to get her licence this weekend, the kids are real excited to go. My brother mentioned he might come up with us, He is not on AO but, I bet he will want to be once Feb 6 is finished

[Springer]

I doubt i will attend but just wanted to put my 2 cents in. Last Thursday we caught Perch,Whites,Burbot and lost a whopper pike there. Fishing in 12 ft of water seemed to produce the best. Have fun all.

[diamonddave]

Momma bear and I will be there on the 7th at Sylvan. What RRd is everyone planning on going down?

[mooseknuckle]

Looks like I'll be there forsure as it looks like a few other's are bring their little ones. The wife says yes as long as I bring the daughter. But as I'm sure you all know sometimes the patience of a 5 year old.. well. But if there are some other kidlets around I think it will be a great time. I thinking the nintendo DS and the dvd player will be in the truck "just in case" see ya all there.:wave:

[mooseknuckle]

Forgot to ask but I was hoping maybe one of you nice folks could poke a hole or two for us? I've heard there are some decent size pike in there and all I have is the ol 6"hand jobber.

[baitfisher83]

Well I have a ride up there it seems...but they wanna leave Saturday night, so i may need a ride back..lol

[FishBrain]

Well I have a ride up there it seems...but they wanna leave Saturday night, so i may need a ride back..lol

Yes we have to leave sat night. Dog at home, cats, and a whole slew of other animals that need to be taken care of.
But at least now you will be able to fish there :)

Oh yes... The DS is a must if you want to stay for the day. I know my kids will have them

[Dougie55]

Moose,
I am sure one of us can poke some holes for you.. hopefully my new IceGator will be in to use there.

[jts1]

Guest and food list are getting a little large , I think you all know if you are going or not. And as for food just bring what you will.
I have one concern.. Does anyone know of the location on Brownlows that we should set up at ? I myself have never fished that side of the lake. If some one could send me a location on google or gps #'s that would be great. The cabin will be booked tomorrow as well , It was a two night min so we will have it for Friday night and Sat. I will be going up Friday after work I think WalleyDietz is going to travel with me as well. I can get a lil Burb fishing in on Fri night And save myself the drive early in the AM

So far these members have got a spot in the cabin

please post the map when you get it. we will be up Friday night also, maybe I can talk flygirrl into some burb fishing, who knows . dont think she will run for shore at every crack of the ice when its dark. if she does it should be even more entertaining :evilgrin: I hear she might be tying you some pretty pink wireworms to match your favorite rod Jeff!!! How lucky is that!!!!!

[flygirrl]

:evilgrin: I dont run I dance:tongue2:, I still cant figure out what good that does:lol: Would love to go burb fishing, still havnt done that yet. Oh by the way, they will be lucky pink wire worms jst1......:evilgrin::evilgrin:

[Dougie55]

Yes, please post where we should meet. Was going to be there on Thurs, but looks like I can't make it until that night or Fri morn, and would like to get my little site on the ice set up..:)
For some of the ladies and kids, if they need it, I will have my porta potty along. It isn't really big as I am sure you all know what size they are, but will be there if needed. Will probably need to run to shore to dump it from time to time though...;)
Doug

[mooseknuckle]

Moose,

Cool appreciate it.

[Sandalius]

:evilgrin: I dont run I dance:tongue2:,

Dancing a jig is only gonna scare the fish away :lol::lol:


It's looking like about 40-50 people ( maybe more ) coming to this AO gathering at Gull lake :cool:

That's gonna take up quite a bit of real estate, I certainly hope there's enough space for everybody and nobody gets crowded upon or pushed out of a good spot :lol::lol::lol:

[diamonddave]

So is Sunday a go at Sylvan, or is it just Saturday at Gull?

[flygirrl]

:D OOPS, I always thought a rain dance brought rain and dancing a jig brought fish.:lol::lol::lol: So now I know why I dont have much luck ice fishing, will have to change my tactics.........

[Sandalius]

So is Sunday a go at Sylvan, or is it just Saturday at Gull?

The big gathering will be at Gull on Sat, but I think a few people are gonna want to do Sylvan on Sun just because it there - just not sure how many or where yet ??

[diamonddave]

I wish I could make it to gull but I have to work, so any that stay over for Sunday, that want to have a another day, it would be great to meet some of you.

[Hunter Trav]

Does anyone know of the location on Brownlows that we should set up at ? I myself have never fished that side of the lake. If some one could send me a location on google or gps #'s that would be great.

I think if you just go out and setup in the middle of the bay @ Brownlows, that would be the best option. People can branch out from there if they want to. Should be enough room for everyone if you do that... :)

[LACOMBE JACKSON]

Another area that might be nice is the point just a bit North of the Brownlow bay. This way you'd be away from all the crowds but close enough that it wouldn't be a hassle if someone wanted to fish with the crowd. the point has some great Jackin too. Just a thought

[baitfisher83]

[ericlin0122]

Hi:
Me (Eric) and my buddy (Dave) will join you guys.
We will leave from Calgary, we can take 2 more people if anyone needs a ride.
We plan to come Saturday morning and leave later that day.
For food, we will bring two plates of ginger beef. Or if there is anything extra needed, we are very welcome to bring.
See you guys there.

[Hunter Trav]

That would work too, but if people arent willing to drive on, its a long haul over there. I know there is a way to drive around closer to it, but its alot easier to find the bay.

[LACOMBE JACKSON]

Whatever works best for you all. The Bay is mostly always packed with people and vehicles so get there early and stake your claim. Wayne Christie, are you from Lacombe?

[Dougie55]

Just wondering if there are any of the peeps that are going to be at the get together that might want to give me a hand videoing some of the going-ons..
I have a Sony HandyCam that is super easy to use, and although I plan on using it a bunch, would like to be able to fish some as well, and would love it if a person or two would be willing to use it as well. Don't care too much about content...hmmm well, clean stuff anyway..haha but would like to cover a lot of the people, food, fish, etc, as I can. Was going to bring the underwater cover, but will pass on that this time.
Thanks a bunch..
Doug

[WayneChristie]

Well I have a ride up there it seems...but they wanna leave Saturday night, so i may need a ride back..lol

I picked up some glow in the dark paint, you could do your thumb and stand on the highway?

[WayneChristie]

depends, do I win anything if I am? :D Nope Im from Pike and Sturgeon country,

[jts1]

Ok Walleyedeitz , myself and maybe Steve will be there Fri night. We will just be out in front of Brownlows early Sat morn We will have Walleyedeitz's BIG ass tent set up so no one will get lost I am sure. Everyone be sure to stop off at the tent when you get on the ice.

And a big thank you to you Mr Fishermenguy. I was at work and he was able to book the cabin on his credit card. Thank you much my friend

[baitfisher83]

I picked up some glow in the dark paint, you could do your thumb and stand on the highway?

I will probably stay on the ice on Friday, so will find you guys when there, and help out in any way I can.

[WayneChristie]

I'm gonna shove you down a hole.

shhh my wife will hear :evilgrin::lol:

[#1Magpie]

I'm sorry I don't think I can make it down, but I was wondering I did see a post about a Flag or a stiker too find A.O> members. Did that ever get sorted out? if so how could I get in on it?:huh:

[DarkAisling]

What is the best time to be there in the morning? Is 9am okay, or would we want to be there earlier to get a decent spot? Is there a map to Brownlows yet? I'm a little confused about where it is.

It looks like hubby and I will be there. We'll probably tear down and head back to Calgary around 3:30-4:00 or so.

I'll also be bringing a portable toilet and a privacy shelter to put it in. This toilet doesn't flush . . . it is basically a fancy bucket.

[fluxcore]

did the gathering end up happening yesterday?

might want to check your dates again :D

Hope to see you all out there it should be a great day. I would just like to say thank you to everyone who is bringing tables , fire wood food ect ect. We will have a fire pit out there thanks to Fishermanguy for that one. A huge tent thanks to Walleyedeitz. Way too many for me to type you all know who you are.
We are thinking of fishing Sylvan on Sunday I think. Anyone is more than welcome to come along. I am sure I will be "fishing" for information on Sylvan on Sat from anyone that will listen.

[oagie]

My status is iffy now. My truck was in for service yesterday and Toyota pulled it off the road because of this gas petal buisness. Anyways, Im without a 4x4 until its fixed.

lol....answers to that ? should be interesting

[The Fisherman Guy]

Hello Ron,

No need to worry about getting access to the ice, if you can't make it on in your focus, I will pick you up at shore and drive you out in my truck, if it is too far to walk.

Wings sound great! Just a thought; I will have my deep fryer out there, so if you would like to cook them on the ice, you are certainly welcome to.

PM me if you would like to make some plans!

[FishBrain]

I plan on driving my minivan out onto the ice, I think as long as you drive "normally" you shouldn't have an issue

[Warren77]

Myself and my girlfriend will be attending.

[baitfisher83]

Is anyone from Calgary coming back Sunday that has an extra seat??I have a way up there but no way back...

[mooseknuckle]

I'll be Leaving (edm) sat morn 7-7:30 with a convoy... my neighbor and his daughter, my buddies and there little one and my daughter (7 total) can't wait to meet some of you out there:) Not sure about food yet really really busy so we'll see if not snacks for the kids and beer for the adults!! FYI 2009 dodge ram crew (blue):wave:

[BBJTKLE&FISHINGADVENTURES]

Darn it!!! Might not be able to make it now. One daughter has decided it is time to pop. I told her to keep her legs crossed at least till Monday, but you just can't trust these kids...:(
Keeping my fingers crossed.... I will have an awful lot of biscuits and burgers to eat if I don't make it, not counting my wanting to show off the new auger, and the other things I have loaded to bring. GRRRRR:mad3:

Tony its the South West Corner , Of Gull lake . If you Take the Lacombe Highway you can get right to it , then take the boat Launch access road .

[jts1]

Sry BBJ I thought I had sent you a PM. That is a great idea with the prize , thank you much. I will post a map again on Friday with directions from both Calgary and Edmonton. Hope you guys can fallow direction better than the Oilers can :tongue2:

[bronco2]

If you come via hwy2 QE2 you will turn west onto hwy 12 toward Gull Lake. Go through the town site of Gull lake then around 2 S bends and you will see a sign that says Brownlows landing on the right hand side of hiway 12 (north side)

[iliketrout]

Can't wait! Hope the bite is on, from the latest posts sounds like it has been slow. It will be fun regardless of how many fish are on the ice though!

[WayneChristie]

cant wait to see how many of the kids and ladies outfish Jeff :evilgrin: ok and me too, Im sure :D

[SuCraM]

Cant wait for Saturday and just got back from the Fishin hole picking up some of those red and chartreuse green wetaskawin specials and some bait. Will be leaving Calgary with my buddy at 6am sharp so should be on the lake by 8am. Will be in a 2006 blue chevy cobalt parked by the big white tent. Cant wait to meet everyone and have a good day of fishing.

[DarkAisling]

Just trying to get everything figured out . . . might just be me, but my eldest son might be coming too.

I'm not planning to drive out on the ice . . . there's someplace to park on the shore, right?

[DarkAisling]

Is this the road in?

http://lh3.ggpht.com/_bKySdrQ8G1M/S2sJlPZDoJI/AAAAAAAABKc/ilvX8NIuoyQ/GullLake.jpg

[Hunter Trav]

Yup, thats the road. Once you turn off of Hwy 12 at the Brownlows Landing sign, you just keep going straight until you hit the lake. There isn't much of a parking spot on shore, but the trail on the lake should be so packed down that you can easily drive on, even if you just park close to shore.

Well, my first impulse is to bail out.

My second impulse is to give it a shot and hope some generous and giving soul will have a tow rope out there: just in case.

I loathe playing the role of "damsel in distress."

[tonyflyfish]

nobody will be left on the ice-lots of big 4x4s will be there.

I will push you again :lol: I was out on lake X yesterday, went out in the fog, couldnt see my ... anything. I drove all the way to the other side of the lake, and when the fog lifted I realized how deep the snow was. didnt have any problem getting back tho, just didnt stop. Kinda nice being the only person on the whole lake! And Im pretty sure the last couple bite I had was a huge burb, thought it was too black for a pike, and it didnt bite the same,

[eyewhomper]

was on the lake last weekend atlest 150 trucks on and around brownlows

Not to worry Shelly, there will be so many people there with all the right stuff ..lol Not sure how far out we'll be, but if you're really that scared and want to park close to the shore, just call me and I will bring my truck over and grab you(s) and your gear.

Umm you'll be surrounded by Rednecks, of course they'll have Winches..lol

I am really happy with the response for this gathering. As I have mentioned this is the 6th one I have had the pleasure of doing and they just keep getting better. But best of all is some of the friendships I have had the honor of developing , and I hope to make a few more on this one.

The food list has gotten a little large for me to keep track of , but I am sure it will be a wonderful feast. There will be BBQ's , fire pits , tables ect ect. I will take care of all the eating utensils so no need to worry about bringing any.

As for the location. We will be at BROWNLOWS LANDING below you will find directions. We will be on the ice and set up by 8 "I hope" Just look for the big tent. We are going to take up a lot of realestate so we will try and set up away from the crowds. Steve thought of a great idea and is bringing name tags cause I know I wont remember everyones names.

"No comments about my sign I aint the most creative fella"

Cant wait to put some faces to the screen names. I am some what of a social butterfly on the ice. There are a few members here that can attest to that. Drop in a few tip ups a nice bottle of Jamison's and Ginger and great company , what more could a guy ask for....;) Everyone drive safe and see you out there.:wave:

P.S. Some of you have been doubting my fishing skills :tongue2: Just for you select few , and you know who you are..... I am Bringing the frickin pink fishing rod.
