Just got done emailing back and forth with Gabe VanWormer from Michigan Out of Doors. Some of you know that he and I have been talking for a couple of years now about taping a show on crappie fishing. He has tried to make it to one of our camps, but has had scheduling issues thus far. He's now aware of the date/place for this spring so we'll see how that shakes out.
That sounds awesome, been watching their show for years. Be very cool to be able to be apart of it too. Got my fingers crossed.
Just might be a good thing for mcdc, just might pull in more good membersQuote:

So it's probably mostly my CDO (same as OCD, except all the letters are in order :biggrin) but I moved the last posts on filleting to the "random posts and thoughts" thread. Let's try to keep the camp thread on focus please. Thx.
If anyone is interested in helping collect some prize donations, send me a PM and I'll get you a couple flyers and a sample letter to send out!
Spoke with Kim @ Newaygo Parks today. If you are thinking about renting a dock, you cannot do that until May 1st. Just FYI.
Is this still the weekend of June 6 and 7th. Didn't read through all 12 pages, just the first couple. Might try and make it over.
Yes, the weekend of June 6th and 7th is the date. Most of us will arive on Friday (some days before). We have a get together on Friday evening around the campfire. The main festivities will be held on Saturday with a friendly tournament to start around 7am. Weigh in will be later in the day with the raffle and potluck to follow.
I have a flyer that will be posted later in the spring detailing all of the event times but the above information will help you get planning. If you would like to make reservations, the information can be located in one of the previous posts. We all hope to see you there.
I found this report today by Newaygo Co. Parks that lays out the future development for Sandy Beach Park. Looks like quite a transformation. The two pictures are not quite at the same scale, but you can see the boat launch is about as much as they show in the current layout. The beach and day use areas are just off the picture towards the dam.
On the new picture, the boat launch is now a double lane with a 50 space truck/trailer lot, general store, and fuel dock (orange highlighted area). It looks like they plan to add five more cabins where the two existing ones are, along with adding 100 more improved campsites and a new dump station (green highlighted areas). They will also be improving the day use area with parking lot, improved beach and restrooms with additional camping cabins (yellow highlighted areas). Each of the different colored areas represent another phase in their 5yr. plan of improving. They even have a houseboat marina in the works.
At any rate, according to Kim they are going to be working on the first phase (orange) this spring and hope to have it completed by the time we get there. Not sure how that all factors in, as it looks like that phase uproots the primitive sites and both the aspen and oak cabins??? I guess that couldn't be, or they wouldn't be booking those, eh?!!
Well I thought ya'll might like to see this at any rate.
