Route U - Northbound!

Well boys (and girls), I held off announcing this until 2015.......and before you all jump me for posting this in the fishing forum, there hasn't been much traffic in the other threads and wanted to get the word out for anyone that cares!

My wife, daughter and I have accepted a relocation offer to the great state of Wisconsin, effective March 1st. This is an extremely positive move for us both professionally and personally (nothing wrong with a little adventure), not to mention there are many, MANY toothy critters up there with my name on them (Speck/Yikess, couple for you too).

Consider this an extended invitation to anyone who would like to travel north in search of trophy walleye, our door will always be open for you.

Happy 2015 from the Mayfield family!

Congrats on your new job Rob, I'm sure you'll do great. I knew you were moving north just wasn't sure when. Today was my last day at work (retired) so between me and Jeff, we'll try to keep the Twain crappie cornered. Was doing alright up southfork till it froze up last week, have to go to T. Hill now. Best wishes to you and your family.:highfive

Great news!!!! Congrats Robbie and good luck. Let me know when you all get settled in and the fish are biting, I'll be north bound!!
Congrats man!!! I'm happy for you all.

Congrats to you too catman!!! I'm so envious!! I figure I only have another 142 more years and I can retire as well!!!:highfive

Congrats on the new job! No lack of fishing lakes up there! Good luck in your new endeavor, or adventure which ever way you look at it!

Congrats Robbie on your new adventure. We know you will be shooting back home at times so you can keep us updated. Love them walleye, I'm jealous.

Becoming a cheesehead eh??????? You'll find the 92 days of summer will provide some of the best fishing there is. Used to live in Minisoda and loved it. You'll also want to buy stock in skeeter repellent makers. And a snowblower.

Maybe you should buy all the snow/ice stuff down here where it's cheaper? A good snowblower and a good ice auger, for sure! Congrats on the big move! Hope it's everything you hoped for and more!

Hope all goes well for you and yours Robbbie. When I tell Mike about this (he is the cheesehead that fishes with us) he will be jealous. Good Luck and tight lines.

Congrats and good luck from Wyatt and I.

Congrats, Rob. Whereabouts in Wisconsin? I grew up there, have family there, and get up there quite regularly. Love it!

Now you can raise that little girl up to be a Packer Fan! Man....Dad of the Year, right there!!

Good Luck to you all!

Thanks for all the kind words guys....... it's definitely going to be something new but we're very excited.

Catman - Now I'm jealous! Retired! I knew it was coming but didn't realize it was that close, congrats! Please give my Dad shout at anytime..... the bathroom is finished at the cabin and it's ready for friends! We're planning on getting the wood burner put in this month yet as there's nothing else to do with this cold.

Speck - You know there's always a spot for you wherever the Mayfield's may be....... especially for a guy who has yet to catch a walleye!

Barry - Thanks and you're right..... the area we're looking in, there's probably 5-6 lakes within a 20 minute drive and a couple major lakes within an hour.

LSL, Vic, Mike - Suppose you can call me a cheesehead (love me some curds) but LSL is right, it'll be about a 4.5 hour drive back so I'll never be too far from Twain....already have plans to get back for a week in May for our annual fishin week at the cabin.

Ripn - If Mike has any advice, I'm all ears!

Poler - Appreciate the note.......just do me a favor and keep Wyatt down there with you. I've seen what he does to fish!

Joedog - My wife and I will both be working in Milwaukee but are targeting the Mukwonago/New Berlin area as a place to escape and retreat to.....really like the area as it's still small town USA, good people, etc. Where ya from? Not sure about the Packers yet (Steelers fan) but I'm more focused on the fish!

I'll be here in Illinois through February and then back/forth a few times while we get settled, so hopefully I run into a few of you on the water!

Be Good,

U

U Mikes only advice would be around cattle.:biggrin If it is fish well you are in for a treat those toothy critters will get your attention. But do not forget the crappie there are lots of them up there also.

Congrats, Robbie! hope it all works out well for you and the family. be sure to keep us posted on possible return trips to twain and watch for a spring camp thread. I suppose I could drink a coldie with a cheese head!
