Merritt's tourney is usually the last week of Jan. Don't have the 2010 schedule yet.

You guys pick the date. Where we live here, it's easier for us to make it.

I have extra equipment. Traps, flasher, cleats, augers, etc. Give me a shout closer to ice time.

Will be setting the date according to what the fish camp has open. Right now it's looking about 95% it's going to be the 22-24, just waiting to hear from the fish camp!

I realize you can't please everyone but, the 29-31 would work better for me.

The owners called me yesterday, I was at work & out of cell service...didn't get cell service again until late last night. Out of the cabins they have available, all that is left are 3 cabins with 1 double bed.

Prices again:

1 double bed $35/night - 3 open
2 double bed $50/night - full
4 double bed $85/night - full

I am calling him today to find out what weekend they have the most available. As of right now from the feedback I've been getting, it's looking like the 22-24th. I will update and hopefully get a sticky going tonight after work.

Called again, no answer. Left him a message & anxiously awaiting a reply!

Anyone else interested?

We've still got 3 one bed cabins available!

Are these for rooms at the Fish Camp? And if so are we booking rooms through you?

it would have been a lot funnier if we didn't wake up and think you were dead out on the ice

Yes, I'm talking about the cabins at the Big Alkali Fish Camp. It'd be a lot less confusing if you book them through me. That way we only have one person calling them and everybody is on the same page as far as how many are left. I'd hate to not know someone booked a cabin and say one's available only to call them and find out that no more are available.

If you want a cabin, just let me know, I'm going to call Andy again this afternoon and hopefully get a finalized date and all that from him this evening.

Can I assume the "FULL" are taken by NEFGA.ORG members?

Looks like things are coming together nicely!!!

So far this week I got a new gas cap for the StrikeMaster auger and a few BaitPucks ordered... Maybe in a few weeks I will get a couple more ice fishing poles lined up and start getting the Fireline Ice Crystal put on... ><((();>-------------------------------------------
