Curlew actually gave up some fish for us this year. Caught some decent crappie, small perch and small bass there. It's not much but it's a start. Gonna give it an honest effort this winter.

I got some nice crappie this summer but I still have not unlocked the lake.

Roubaix Lake is always good for some easy bites for me to take my kids. It helps them stay excited about getting out. All I caught out of Curlew this last spring were Catfish. I want to get out on Jenny's Gulch this winter.

Clean out the sediment.  They have to do it about every 40yrs. The sediment raises the water temp to much.

I have always done well on Stockade for fat perch and bull gills. Try the west side by the dock and the opposite side near the picnic area. I've also caught some nice LMB and my biggest smallie through the ice on this lake.

Got on yesterday for the first time this season. It was pretty slow, but still good to be out.

I will be going out on friday! Roy, will you still sticking to your goal and trying it out? anyone know where the thickest ice is?  I think the 385 area of Sheridan or Stockade will be a good bet.  Either way im going fishing. Good luck everyone!

Hey guys, pretty new to the ice shanty community but I have been ice fishing in the hills and surrounding area for a few years now. I got onto new underwood dam on Monday. Limit of blue gill and six or seven perch. Hope everyone has a good holiday!

Right on! Seems that lake has the best ice and a good Panfish bite as well.

Hey SoDakDick, if you don't mind me asking, where'd you go and how was the ice? If you would rather, PM me. Not looking to swipe your spot or anything.

Sorry muskie9, I tweaked my back a couple of days ago and I've been flat on it since. I couldn't even sit at my pc til now. My big plans for Black Friday are waiting til next Friday. Still Stockade though. Glad everyone is getting out and catching some. I guess this countdown is officially over and now we get to start bragging about our fish!  :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:
