And Canepole lost a good one (10+) that shook his minnow on a hook

Plenty of good times and good people at that Meet for sure

Looking ahead to the time I can afford to go there again

I caught about 100 hammer handles that year! And Jbass caught a legal walleye on the Little Bay de Noc!

how's Jbass doing these days, Pete?

This dose not have to be the end to a gwin meet it just means some one else has to pick up the ball .

This dose not have to be the end to a gwin meet it just means some one else has to pick up the ball .

Well Rod Tosser:  It has been a couple of years now., and I don't see anyone volunterring to "pick up he ball"., But considering the location of Gwinn and the lack of decent accomodations I can understand why no one is picking up the ball.

OK, so here goes....I'm about to step into the schit. We had great times in Gwinn, made great friends, miss the friends and the times. It's getting late this year for a fishing "Meet" . Are you up to helping plan a "Meet" for 2013? I live in Mikado, Michigan, that's just about ten miles north west of Oscoda. Next year's, 2013 Michigan's free fishing weekend would be a good time to consider a Michigan Meet.
In the Oscoda area we have fishing on or in; Lake Huron, AuSable river, Foote Dam pond, Cook Dam pond, Loud Dam pond, Van Ettan lake, Hubbard lake, Fletchers pond, and many, many smaller lakes.
I can provide; rustic camping area for tents/trailers or campers, boat trailer parking, even six single beds in three bedrooms in a fully furnished house (for a nominal charge). Even a farm pond for children fishing, stocked with goldfish (carp) perch, trout, and gill.
It's to late to call a meeting for this Sunday August 26th, I will post a Sunday date in September for a meeting at the house for all to see and make plans for the "2013 Meet". Come out, see the property, check out the area, help plan for a Michigan Meet. If I get help and interest..we can have a Michigan Meet once again. Warren

Good luck Warren. Good to hear that you & yours are well!

Here's a link to a Google map of the area...

Way to go Warren. That's taking the bull by the horns. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks, guys. You thinking you might make it Davesett? I realize that it will take time for the word to spread but I believe there's interest. Nobody can guarantee the bite, but hey we got water, even "things to do" not on the water. There's Lumberman's Monument, Canoeist's Monument, Iargo Springs, then there's the Air Museum at the old Wurtsmith Air Force Base and a Motorcycle museum as well. Couple of bait stores in the area and even a few gun stores and shooting ranges. There's trail head for quads and the like. The shore to shore horse trail ends (or starts) just south of Oscoda. Tawas Light house, there's a light house in Harrisville and the Nautical museum in Alpena, about forty five minutes north. Alpena also has the Besser Muesum. Just to name a few attractions.
So....whose up for a Michigan Meet? Lemme know. Warren

sounds good, Warren!

Thanks for the support, I kinda got the idea that there were some interested in a Michigan Meet....guess it's just you and me.
