Roy Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 OK so this is the story. As quickly as I could after the 2008 G2G I got hold of the 2009 fishing regs and determined that the 27th of June would be the best date for the main weekend because bass opens that weekend. I know that a bunch of folks will be there the week before and certainly a few will be there the week after. Now it seems as though Kevin and Leslie might be booked up for that weekend because it's a long weekend. (July 1st, Canada day in the following Wednesday) So, the date will remain the 27th so book now folks. What Lakair can't handle, we can book at any of the surrounding lodges...lots of them. Let me know what you're doing.
irishfield Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Bass? They taste just as good before or after opener!
solopaddler Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Bass? They taste just as good before or after opener! Yep, yep. The only seasons y'all need to worry about are salt and pepper!
Roy Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Posted February 11, 2009 I think I'm booked too, I just talked to him.
lew Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 What Lakair can't handle, we can book at any of the surrounding lodges...lots of them. Unfortunately Roy, if Lakair can't handle our group as always and we have to spread folks around the area to different lodges, it kinda defeats the purpose of the g2g It's 3:35 AM right now, I wonder if Kevins awake yet so I can book my spot while there's still a few available
ccmtcanada Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Bly and I will be there...going to book soon!
John Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I tried to book on Monday and got an e-mail yesterday AM that they had booked me for Jun 18 - 22 even though I asked for Jun 25 - 29!!!!! Tried to get in touch since and haven't heard back. Will call them again today.. Seems as though Leslie wants us to change the weekend based on the tone of the e-mail I received!

John Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Just got off the phone with Kevin. Got a place booked from Jun 25-29. He says that Bass season opener is always the weekend after our traditional G2G. He has another large group that book every year for the opener. I think that if you plan on going book now or you may be disappointed.
lew Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) OK, I just got off the phone with Kevin a few minutes ago myself and he asked me to pass this information on to everyone that's coming to the g2g. As mentioned by John, Kevin has a group of guys that come up every year for the bass opener, which is the weekend of the 27 & 28 this year and they've already pre-booked their cabins for that weekend. All Kevin has for the weekend of the 27 & 28 is a couple of the small 1 bedroom cabins and he says they'll probably get booked soon too, so if you want one of them, you better call him ASAP. Most of the campsites are still available for the 27 & 28th though The weekend of the 20 & 21st is pretty well wide open for cabins & campsites so far, which is the weekend we normally go up. I just booked my regular campsite for the entire week from June 22nd --29th to be sure I get in a full week of musky fishing which opens on the 20th. Only 4 more months to go and I'll be in my home away from home. Edited February 11, 2009 by lew

Ah ... more Pennsylvanians .... sweet. The good ol'e boys south of the Mason-Dixon line better watch out. I just got off the phone with Leslie and since we had booked early, we were able to move the dates and will be arriving on Wed. 24th and leaving the following Wednesday. Cabin 11 eh ? It's a loooong walk from our Cabin 5. but for a cold one, we'll make the sacrifice. Edited February 12, 2009 by Rich Clemens
