Point well taken Mike Whopper

Congrats to you and your family on the birth of your new son! Whopper

LOL Joey Cliff I feel your pain Whopper

Mike with all due respect I kind of dissagree with you on #1 with the cost of even outpost location "Good" outfitters are trying to fill spots from the people that were used to getting deals before became so costly and have quit going. Face to to face is one way of negotiating extra fees ie; we bring certain amount of people you wave the weight restriction. I'm not saying that all outfitters that do the show thing are good but that's how we found a good one. There is a circuit that does the US during the winter months and it is called the all Canadian Sports Show and there are many there that I have seen ads in mags. and favorable reports from on some of the other message boards (yes I said others outloud I do agree with you on #2 "outpost camps" half the fun is in the planning with our group which usually starts when we collect the deposits in January, generally involves drinking beer and eating chicken wings once a month until we go. Whopper

In my limited experience the answer to that question is NO I've done four (4) fly-ins, three with one outfitter and one with another and would not hesitate to return to either. Both have provide great service with no real problems. First thing you may want when considering an outfitter is references. Check on pricing, pay one price or are there hidden fees? One thing that some people overlook is weight restrictions, some outfitters have low weights and some have higher. Although I have not had to deal with weight restriction I hear they can be costly (trip charge plus so much a pound). All my experiences have with outfitters has been good, if you want any further info pm me. Just for the record the "Bad Report" wasn't a fly-in but it was a remote location via boat and portage if I understand correctly. Good Luck Whopper

Thanks Dustin Whopper

Good Luck Lew and everyone else chasing the toothy critters. Just got unpacked and started two piles, USED (needed) & UNUSED (don't pack no more) took some notes for future trips. Whopper

Ya need a dock boy Wayne?

Well done Roy good report. Last week I caught my first sauger and told the guy I was with "this fish looks like the saugeye that I catch back home except no white spot on the tail" and later that night someone brought a couple in to eat and showed me the difference. Hope you enjoyed your dinner! Whopper
