Michigan Muskie Alliance

I am unable to attend the outing, and Scott is in need of a gas grill
to cook lunch on, (he only loves me for my grill)

Does anyone have a grass grill they can bring along to help
out with?

if so post here or let Scott know.

thanks

No, I don't. I only have one of those enormous stainless ones.

But, there's a second pavillion at the beach now, and it has a big (5-6-foot-long) charcoal grill right next to it...

I'll be sticking to 2 small portable propane grills and hope to be able to push out food fast enough.

If you need help with setting up and cooking, let me know. I do all the cooking chez moi.

There's a BIG difference between cooking and grilling! You gotta have some big stones to grill for a bunch of muskie nuts! You up for the challunge?

Are you kidding? We could probably serve up stone-cold hog swill and it'd still get gobbled up by our crew. Myself included!

As long as it's free.

Tom, are you bringing chemicals from the lab for secret sauce?

Shhhhh!

I have one of those round charcoal grills I could bring if it would help. It's nothing fancy but should be able to do the trick. I'd be more than happy to help cook up some dogs as well or whatever else may be needed to keep things rolling smoothly.

For some reason Scotts anti charcoal, he wants propane!!

Hemi, I'm sure Scott would appreciate the help, thanks!

If I can fit my Weber in the backseat of my work truck so I can lock it up, I'll bring it.

Some info on the lake, for those who are coming:

The weeds are pretty fabulous this year, in sharp contrast to the devastation that happened in July/August last year. There aren't a lot of emergent weeds, but the submerged weeds are a lot more extensive then they've been recently. I've been finding fish at the submerged edges fairly regularly. These occur at ~10-11' almost everywhere. 95% of the weeds are eurasian milfoil; the rest is coontail, but that's fairly spread out.

There's a decent algae bloom going on right now; lots of floating green powder on the surface yesterday, and a greenish tint to the water. Water was in the low 60s, with about 3-4' visibility, mostly from the usual tea-staining but also some moderate turbidity, varying from place to place. Follows are not easy to see, at least for me. When the sun is shining, you can make out the nearly-emergent edges fairly easily; not so much when it's overcast.

The new launch is 100% complete, and except for having a larger parking lot and different parking layout, it's almost unchanged from before. It's still a one-way flow-through launch, with prep and tie-up lanes in the same place as before. The new access road to it is on Price Road about 300 feet east of the Shepherdsville Road intersection.

There is a large L-shaped dock at the beach now, and hopefully the "drawbridge" to it will still be down on Saturday. It was still down yesterday... That'll make it more amenable to pulling up for lunch!

See you all there, hopefully.

It was good to see everyone at the outing. Would have been nice if the weather and fish would have cooperated. Great burgers and dogs thanks to Betty Crocker, I mean Scott. And especially to Doc Schultz for the weather reports.

I agree! The food was great and the price even better. It was nice to meet some more people.

I stayed till around five and was able to move 1 fish once some of the weather cleared. Just a tease with no love to report.
