I was going to fish Beck early AM this Sat (if my wife doesn't go into labor by then) and thought if any of you would like to join your more than welcome. So far TSevs and Culprit are in. Jason if I can get his ass to wake up early enough. I'm going to walk over around 4 am from my house which is only a few minutes walking distance to get on the pre-dawn bite. Let me know if your interested. Of course you don't have to come that early but if you want to, you guys can park at my house and walk over with me. I usually just take a few things. assortment of senkos, dingers, and a few cranks, topwaters in my vest and something to drink. so i can walk around. hopefully the fish and weather will cooperate.

4am, Augy? :shock: You just gave me horrible flash backs of climbing out of bed half dead only to get skunked while fishing the trout opener at Axehead this year :lol: I don't think I'll be able to make it, but good luck to y'all

Oh, and good luck to Meena with the delivery :wink:

early bird gets worm! or fish in this case. i'm going that early so i'll have a better chance of NOT getting skunked. I WANT THAT 6 lb'er REAL BAD!

Sounds a little early to me too. It is going to be hot on Saturday, so going out early would be a good idea. I'll have to see. I was going to go with one of my patients up to a private pond in Wisconsin that is stocked with bass. Nobody really fishes it except us and we only go several times a year.

I think that was me that Augy initially included (thinking it was Tom) as who is already in. Augy, can you pm me your address? I will try to join you at 4am at your crib.

I thought the lake doesn't open until sunrise? You guys know more about it than me, anyway, count me in. I'll tell my cat to start clawin me if I'm not up by 3 :wink: . Hopefully I can pick up a few pointers from you guys and with any luck land a fish or two. It's been a bad stretch the last few days out, no fish to show for my efforts. I was out at Beck again the last two days after work for 1 1\2 hrs each time and have nothing to show for it. I'd have posted the results but I'm gettin tired of posting skunks. I'll probably figure out pretty quickly who you guys are but if you see a guy wandering around aimlessly on the shoreline looking lost, it's probably me.

Ranking, you are correct. The FP doesn't open until sunrise (which should be about 5:30-6am). However, Augy kindly offered to let us park at his house (which is walking distance) to Beck. That way we can start fishing before the parking lot is opened. PM Augy for his directions if you plan on showing up before sunrise. See you there!

Well... I was planning on going camping Saturday along the Fox River but that might not be until the afternoon. Count me as a definate maybe.

"definately mabye"? sounds kinda like absolutely possible, aka "we'll see if I can wake up". I think it's also the title of the british pop sensation Oasis album.

We got ourselves a nice lil shindig! Not bad for not organizing. Who's bringing the beer? Remember to bring something to drink, sun-block, bug spray, cameras, munchies if you gotta eat breakfast.

Let's see, here's the list so far.

Early birds:
Culprit
edai
Rainking
roleplaya
Augy

Late birds and definate maybes:
JasonN
toothdoc
TSevs

ok boys, get plenty of sleep and no bar hoping tonight!

See less See more

no problem guys. there will be many more chances we can fish together. anybody else who is thinking about it, just show up if you want. lake is big enough for everyone.

ok guys, i'm leaving the office which means no more internet access. hope i sent everyone PM's with my address and cell #. if not, PM someone else who is attending and they should be able to hook you up.

see guys tomorrow.

I will likely not be joining the 4am crowd. I need some much needed sleep - insomnia problems. But if I'm up, i'll try to come out.

I WILL be fishing the Fox River tomorrow afternoon at the Yorkville Dam and camping out overnight. If anyone wants to join it should be a great evening to fish. Send me a PM if interested.
