Good seeing you out there today Glenn, it was a great turn out. I'm guessing there were 200 to 300 people that was there in the area around the Ice party and a lot more spread out around the lake. Way to go, getting your kids on some fish.
Thanks for the ride out on the ice.

Thanks to everyone that helped out with the kids. They had a great time, even though the fishing was a bit slow. Couldn't ask for a better day on the hard deck.

Yeah it was nice to meet up with you too WH And DGF . It is always nice to help with the youth. Hopefully they can get hooked on fishing and not on drugs.

It was a great day to be out on the ice. Nice to put more faces to 'handles' and fish with some new friends. Awesome seeing all the kids getting into it. Did get to demo some fishfinders and toys for the kids, plus. Between the Jawjackers, and Mr Jiggers, plus the Vex, F-Finders watching a jig bounce - I think folks were pretty intrugued. Now if only we'd actually seen some FISH - the camera would have been reel entertaining.
Sure a lot of folks on the ice. I think if people were doing the Cisco Disco during the raffle drawing - we mighta had MORE ice-rescues! Some great giveaways, good dogs (both the furry kind, and the ones for buns!), great weather - cold enough to freeze your hole, but sunny and calm all the same.
Nice drive out - neat to see a new lake, good company (thanks for keeping me awake Josh!), I'm thinnin' some summer camp/fishing might be in store! They've got some real nice facilities down there.
I posted photos up to [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=719628;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;page=unread#unread"]WH's page[/url].
There are flags left. If anyone is interest in a vinyl banner/flag with the BFT logo - shoot me a pm.

It was great to meet you and your son Pikeman! I need to thank you both for hauling The Red Leaker and I around and drilling our holes. I think the kids had a great time and it wouldn't have been succesful without your gadgets. Here a few more pics to enjoy.

Once again, thanks to all of you that helped with this. I am confident in saying that the kids had a terrific time. It was awesome when the kids hooked up and were catching a few. Smiles from ear to ear! It was good talkin with you for a bit, Pikeman and I'm sorry I didn't meet more BFTers that helped. Nevertheless, all the help was greatly appreciated and helped immensely in making it an excellent outing for the kids. (The volunteers too!)
Here are some of the pics I took from yesterday.
