Thread: Spring camp idea?

Is this down near Jackson? East a bit?

The Waterloo Area is just west of Pinckney Rec area, east of Jackson. Six lakes are North of Grand Rapids East of Howard city.

Thanks.
Whenever the location get confirmed, I hope somebody puts up a link to the area.

Pontoon is 20'. It's also a long time till spring. Make the plans for wherever the group would like to go, not around our pontoon. I don't see the difference between a 20' pontoon or a 20' boat?

Well, that kind of changes things. If they have a length restriction, there are a few of us that are out (Kevin, Gary, and myself included). I think Steve's boat is bigger than that.

I also saw the part about the "no credit cards". That one makes it tough as well. Tim sent me a message and said that him and Dar will be heading over to that area this weekend. Maybe a few things will get hashed out. He said he will also look at a few other spots on Hardy as well. When I saw six lakes, I was looking at it as being "centrally located". In putting on the last two hardy events I noticed the participation level was up. Might be a result of us changing from May to June, or it might be the location. I was looking for other areas that were centrally located and came across six lakes.

I have no problems going back to Hardy. Great place, tons of room, lots of places to fish. Let's see what Tim finds out. I am concerned about the overall length issue. When we set these up, we try to make it so that everyone CAN be included. If a certain area has a restriction that would limit one of our group participants, then we simply have to look for another location! How's that for a good answer Larry!!! Basically put, if Larry cannot go because his boat is bigger than allowed, then MICDC can't go! Let's wait and see what Tim has to say. Maybe he finds the place isn't great, maybe the credit card issue is a sticking point, or maybe they will allow Larry's boat.

I guess this is why we start planning early!

Agreed.

I was doing some sleuthing the other day looking at Big Bend and Oxbow CG on Hardy. They are upstream more towards the better crappie areas. They still have boat and vehicle charges, but that seems to be par for the course dealing with small municipality campgrounds. They do allow pets also. I would always fish Hardy again. Just sayin.
