[/align]WHEN:
OK, here we go. A shoot on the Kaskaskia May 31, 2008 7:00 am - noonish

WHERE:
We will launch out of Becks Landing (1 mile past the entrance to Baldwin Lake) This will allow bigger boats to go out on the river if they wish, small boats and canoes can stay in the slough, and there is some opportunities to shoot from the bank if that is your thing.

WHO:
This will be a fairly informal shoot, with opportunities for those who may just want to try it to come out and shoot some fish, and diehards to have fun too.

We will have a big fish pot if you want to get in on that.

There are plenty of gar, silver (the jumpers), bighead, and commons to whack with the occasional grinnel/dogfish too.

Afterwards we can all go someplace for a beer/lunch like we did for last years bass outing.

I probably forgot some stuff, but we'll get it ironed out. I'm open to suggestions here as well.

Thanks to Christine for helping out.

Kendall how close is this to the kaskaskia spillway below carlyle lake.....

[robow7]

KBI, it's southwest of Carlyle by a bunch, almost due west of Rend

[HNI_Christine]

Billy, it's about 45 miles from Carlyle but it's an hour drive because there's no straight route from Carlyle to New Athens.

[KBI-PREZ]

Thank you was just wondering how much more of a drive it was its doable cool cool....

[carpsniper]

Yep. Very doable. I was looking at the satelite map and it looks like a very nice backwater on both sides of the river there.

Hey Kendall, what's the nearest town to it, so I can look at aerial maps for it too?

[carpsniper]

New Athens. Look south to Baldwin Lake. I think the ramp Bob's talking about is about a mile south of Baldwin.

[bowman15]

Got it. Thanks.

That's a bit of a cruise for me. It really sucks because I have the time since I'm off work, but being off work, I don't have the money.
Still, I'll try very hard.

Kendall, What is the site for getting the aerial maps? thanks I suppose robow would have it as well. I still live in the dark ages.
