This is a meet that is always on my "get-to" list but things haven't worked out yet to allow me to attend. However, a member of my family has made it to LaCrosse. My son Brett (Da Young Bushwacker) was in LaCrosse yesterday to play baseball against Western Technical College. LaCrosse was good to him as he pitched 4 innings of shut-out baseball against the Cavaliers. Sure wish I could have made the trip! Here's hoping something works out soon where I can get to the meet...or just get there to meet some of the members. I remain optimistic! Good luck with planning the meet and look forward to the pics.

Hope your plans change for you and you can make it we've been chatting back and forth for years here on the BB sure would be great to get together ..

take care

No kidding RT. Too much chatting and not enough fishing together, eh? LOL!

Apparently my message on 5/2 never got printed. Received my SSI Disability and back payments. I will be coming to the 2011 La Crosse meet . Should get there Tuesday 7/19/2011 sometime.
Hoping Walleye Wayne and Pete and any others riding the fence CAN get to the meet as well.

If anyone has any certain fishing item requests Rods/ reels / tackle [that I may have] let me know and I will try to bring it with me.
Got to make my reservations with the Welch motel ASAP

Did we miss the meet. I thought we had an awfully short but hot summer last week. 3 days in the upper 80's with 1 getting to 90 in Chicago than back into the refrigerator. The fish don't know what to do.

Hope the water is down by July, the temperature warms up and the storms stay away this year.

Ken
I"m with you.... clear weather and temps in the low 80* during the day and mid 60* at night would be ideal... LOL ...those of us that attended the first LC meet know all to well that mother nature doesn't alway see it our way LOL our first ever meet was held the second week in August temps were in the mid 70* sunshine and no clouds... a cold front moved in over night and the temps droped to 30* with frost on the tents ... LOL


take care

i will posting the pie eating contest details in about two weeks - right now I have a very full plate with continued illness/cancer related issues and moving to wisconsin rapids in a week. everyone who has been in the contest in the past will already be signed up (as you already know). i will be going by the teams we had last year and if changes need to be made - we will deal with that in a couple weeks. the idea is to do cream pies again. anyone who hasn't played in the past and wants to play know - let me know.

just a couple months away my friends....can't wait

Ohhh it's getting closer  before ya know it, it will be time to head for goose Island!!!!!

Cheri

I don't think my original partner will be able to do the pie contest .... so I'll be needing a partner again this year... I can alway go solo if that will help .... that way the rest of you will have a better chance at winning LOL

I have it down on the menu for Thurday night...

I will be posting the breakfast & dinner menu next week ...

Take care every one wont be long now

don't worry jerry - i'll help you find a new partner...i think i have a couple others looking as well

The time for the Meet is fast approaching!!!!!!!

PTO is approved so should be there. So dose this mean I have to tye more flys ? I think the birds got blown away or have drowned and Deb says the blankets are keeping use warm .

Reservations have been made at The Welch Motel !!!!!!!     Should arrive afternoon or early evening of the 19th and be there evenings of July 19-23 and leave the morning of the 24th. Really looking forward to this yrs meet. Hope everyone who can will try to be there.

I'll take number 28 for our drawing if we are having one this year.

Anyone who may want some kind of fishing stuff let me know. I am bringing some extra stuff with me, but if anyone wants special items I may have, I need to have a request so I can look if I have it.

May everyone have safe travel to the La Crosse meet. !!  I hope to see you there.
