All:
I am definitely going to have it this year in Escanaba, MI. I am thinking late May. Probably May 29-31. This coincides with the opener of the bass season, and the walleye should still be just outside the rivers. I caught numerous big ones last year, including my personal best of 30 inches, and 10.5 pound walleye at this time. Even if you don’t want to fish, it’s still a real pretty time to be in the UP. Lots of trout streams too.
How does this date sound for you all?? I can make adjustments if it helps a lot of you out. Input is welcome. Trying to make it a great event for all of you.

Joe, all I know is PA is above MD, and MI is above PA, would it be doable to swing by and pick you up?
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

RAS-of course I'm interested. The only caveat is I just started a new job. I'll have to talk to my boss and see if I can get time off. I might just be available for the weekend.

Late May works for me. I'll be there. Since I have a wide variety of Savage stuff, any requests for what I might bring?

That time is pretty busy for me, but I might be able to come for a day.

I'm thinking "yes". I'll grab Joe and then have The Other Joe meet us somewhere West of Harrisburg then journey up to the wilds of the UP. (Or talk Pugs into flying us all up there.)

One more thing about Escanaba. The new Marble Arms museum just opened up and it is really neat to see. Everything about Marbles will be there. I am going to work on a private showing just for us. Security will be a local County Sheriff deputy.

May is coming up fast. I'll plan on it. If you work it right, you can cover 3 Great Lakes in the same day. Easily. Huron, Michigan & Superior. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/GGEfkrY.gif)

The dates work for me.
Some fly fishing for trout has caught my attention.
Will there be the possibility of some range time?
I'd be heading up from Florida, through Atlanta, Nashville and Chicago, if anyone needs a lift...

Don't look good for the home team. Currently have health issues digging me into a less than desirable financial situation, so I regretfully probably won't be able to make it. I hunted 10 miles shy of Escanaba for the last 10 years. Beautiful area. I sure it will be quite festive, and attendees should take the time slay a few walleyes while there. Hope all turns out well.

I'm betting if finances are the only thing keeping you from making it, health issues aside, the fellas here might be able to help you out. I would.

It is less than $200 to fly from Detroit Metro to Escanaba with Delta Airlines. It’s less than an hour flight too. Beats the hell out of 7.5 hours of driving.
