Thread: 2016 MICDC spring crappie camp

Sparty..the wife and I went to our first camp last fall..enjoyed it very much..I fish and wife, well lets just say she does NOT like to be on the water..she had a great time and we hope to make spring camp as well..you will have a good time and meet some of the BEST folk's around..I don't think you will be disappointed, quite the opposite I am sure..BTW, my wife is from Lansing and proudly wears GREEN and WHITE..good times!...........5

I am not sure if I am going to be able to make it now. One of my best friends just sent me a save the date card for his wedding and I am going to have to travel for it. I am already going to be pressed for vacation time this year.

Well we sure will miss you, but it's real swell of you to lend us your boat for the weekend.

I will probably still come up for Saturday. Just wont be camping.

I hope to be able to make 'camp' also..of course, i will have to run it by the CFO..will it be thawed out by then? LOL AZ is growing on me! stay warm.......bill

I spit sweat tea all over my desk! Ride the goat around the campsite!! Do you think MICDC can purchase a goat? Who gets to keep it between camps? My vote is for Don. He is newly retired and currently doesn't have a dog. Maybe a toy goat. I wonder if Abbey (the dog) would get along with the goat?

So, Spartannation... I assume you would be close to Lansing? Not many of us from this area. Welcome to the site. I work in Lansing and live between Lansing and Jackson (East of Mason out by Dansville).

These camps are always a good time. Members of this site get together, share good stories, good food, and tons of laughs. We make lasting friendships that continue after the camps are over. We connect on more than just Crappie fishing. Many of us simply share a love for the outdoors. Never have I been a member of another site or forum that shares as much camaraderie and information as the people on this site do. Not just in the state of Michigan, but around the U.S.

You won't see the negative comments you see in other locations. Don't be afraid to post pictures. I know of some sites that people seem to give people a hard time. Here, it is like back in the old days when friends congratulated others on a nice catch, a fine deer harvested, or so on.

Our camps are family friendly. Many of us bring our children, grand children, family friends, kids friends, and so on. You will see kids fishing, riding bikes, playing on the swing sets, and having a good time. You will see members sitting around camp fires, walking in an out of other sites, and sharing a common bond. At times it is hard to tell who's campsite is who's. You will not be disappointed if you attend.

My wife's aunt has goats...
I'm sure we can borrow one... Or 6. Make a race out of it.

Im glad we don't worry about catching fish at crappie camp...
I've been to three camps and can count my fish on one hand.
