Some folks from Indiana Angler will be invading the area that weekend to fish and socialize.
I know the BB&B board has some members in the area, so I thought I'd extend the invite to those here as well.
As the date gets closer and more details become available I will post them here.

If any is going to be in the area this weekend there will be a few folks in the Forest.
hilly77p rented cabins two and three near Narrow Lake. I'm guessing there will be some type of camp fire gathering in the evenings.
I'll be in the area Saturday afternoon/evening and again Sunday morning.

Finally made it to base camp yesterday afternoon. I was surprised at the low turnout, but what we lacked in quantity we made up for in quality. It was good to finally meet jimmycrown and HIGHFLAGS and it was good seeing ol' Rico and hilly77p again. Patrick's fiance is a real trooper to hang with a bunch of drunken fisherman all evening. Jimmy, Mark, and Rico caught a fine mess of bluegill, redear, and crappie at Shakamak on Saturday. Jimmy and Mark headed back to the Dugger Unit that evening and Patrick and I launched our boats in Narrow Lake in front of the cabins. We caught a lot of gills, but they seem to be stunted in that lake. I did catch one decent crappie off a downed tree and we saw some decent bass swimming around. When we were all back at camp for the evening I fired up the deep fryer and we ate the days catch. It was a real good time and we are already in the planning stages to make this a much bigger event next year.

I like the sound of that...I'll even supply the wings ! I'm itching to get back down there. With all this baseball going on I haven't even wetted a line this season and my boat hasn't touched water ! I'm so ready to fish.

Next spring we're talking about having it in April and making it a mushroom/fishing event with a possible base camp at Shakamak's duplex or cabins.

Just wanted to give a heads up that the Indiana Angler guys are invading this area again. The dates are April 24 - 26 and this time they'll be staying at the Shakamak cabins. I believe there's still some open spots in the cabins, if you're interested contact hilly. It's a good group of guys and I had a lot of fun visiting them last spring at Greene-Sullivan. It doesn't look like I'll be able to go as someone put in for vacation Friday and Saturday night and I'm the poor sucker that has to cover for them. Thought I'd be able to find someone to work for me but no luck and I'm about out of options. I'm hoping to at least get Saturday night off so I can go out and hear some fish stories. On that note; are any of you guys that are going planning on staying beyond Sunday? Once I get off work Sunday morning I will most likely be off until the next Friday night and would be up for some fishing or shrooming or both. That weekend should be primetime for both fishing and mushroom hunting!

Thanks for throwing that out there, Troy! I didn't want to overstep my bounds here. I sent you a PM on IA, but you just answered it, so disregard that message, lol.
I have three cabins rented at Shakamak for Friday and Saturday nights. Right now we have 8 guys signed up to stay that weekend. It's nothing formal just a chance to meet some folks who we talk fishing with everyday. If we can get 12 guys staying out there it would come to $25/person for the weekend. Just let me know if you're interested.

Sweet. I'm off that weekend. I'll try not to forget about this years. Seeming as I live 20 minutes from Shakamak I doubt I'll stay there.
