The Demise of MS Outings

We try to keep them up at the sag bay every year. But I do remember. Lee back when I first joined.

 

Yes those were some good times. I can still remember the very first one at Tippy Dam. I would say about 25-30 people showed up, did some fishing, eating, and mostly bsing. Still remember grilling burgers and offering a burger to the CO's who came by. That was a great time as was the Manistee Labor Day outing and the Muskegon outings. Really should find a way to get them going again, it's interesting meeting people who are only just names before that, and not their real names at that.

Anyone remember the Muskegon ice outing? It was pretty cool how the mayor came in a gave a thank you for coming speech.

 

Darkhouse forum guys have several per year. Seems like only the smaller groups have them because of logistical issues.

 

Wish I could attend, but it isn't that easy anymore. I will be up there Oct 27 til the 3rd or something, maybe there can be one then.

 

Crayfish outing gets bigger and better every year .

 

Probably fewer because once everyone has a few pops in them someone has to bring up APR, QDMA, DNR or zander and all hell breaks out!!!

The outing with the mayor and key to the city was on White Lake. I think that was the second year there. I think Whit1 got us all kicked out of the bowling alley that night before. That was the same outing a certain someone lost their brand new (never used by them) ice saw from Sailor, along with high $$ camera & lenses down the hole. We thought he was in the drink, for a little while.

The outing on Muskegon lake was a week or two before or after the last White Lake outing.

Labor Day in Manistee was always a hoot. Brown Blast we used to do every spring, down off St Joe.

We actually had a pike spearing outing last weekend on Cadillac. Third annual ... only 11 of us there (course the temps had been brutal).

 

That's right ... I could picture him and think of his real first name, just couldn't recall the screen name.

And you are right, the camera case partially floated and someone nabbed it from the hole before going to Davey Jones Locker. But I think I remember Splitshot telling me later that something or another in the case never worked out right again. Still remember Stienfishski and KarlDykema trying to fish out the gear with an aqua view and a jigging spoon with a good treble hook.
