Definately ready here lippy

Yep, I'm ready! Starting to check in more frequently. Still some great fly-fishing on the rivers and some jigging on the reservoirs to be enjoyed the rest of the fall.

Too much fall to get ready for the ice some of the best boat fishing of the year, plus hunting.

I have been dreaming since Febuary 20th. The last day I was on the ice.

Since, I bought two 4'9" heavy action ugly sticks and two line counter equipted Daiwa smaller sized trolling reels. They are spooled with #10 P-line.
I also bought a Cabelas super-dooper self inflating life vest. Aannnddd...a Navionics program for my Iphone. We are loaded for bear this time around.

Hopefully, I will get off to a better season than last years cold and flu season that lasted most of the early and middle season for me.

Anyone have any ideas on putting a couple of 2" golden willow blades as attractors a foot above a 3/8's oz white or luminescent 4"tube jig?

It’s hunting season and I’m thinking about the ice. The fever never goes away for me!

latremorej · « **Reply #11 on:** Oct 18, 2017, 11:17 PM »

Yes, the bow opener in NY was Sept 27. As I sat there sweating in 80 degree heat, I was thinking the exact same thing! Bring on the cold!

Thinking a little about icing but tomorrow will be 83F in Denver Ill in my boat blading for walleyes!

olefish · « **Reply #13 on:** Oct 25, 2017, 05:45 PM »

The boat fishing is good so I have mixed feelings. 2 walleyes over 7lbs (released), some nice eaters, big perch, carp and a real nice rock.

Mohawk Garage · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 25, 2017, 08:30 PM »

Cannot wait for hard water, looking to try some new lakes this year! Anyone know the average size of perch in Rock lake?

appleye · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 27, 2017, 08:12 PM »

There was ice covering the small Burlington Lake this morning. Water looks to be less that 1'. Started building a ice fishing rod, finished elk hunting. Starting to get in the mood!

Houligan · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 30, 2017, 10:02 AM »

No rush, you have another 4-6 weeks before any ice to speak of. By the way I have 3 ice rods built, 3 more to wrap.

appleye · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 30, 2017, 11:02 AM »

Finished my ice rod. Stripping down a couple more rods. List starting to grow. Saw Ice fishing pics from Colorado makes me think a recon trip to the Bighorns might be in order!

massNtrash · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 30, 2017, 03:05 PM »

I saw the same pics now I am thinking of putting my hand auger on the pack frame and heading into the winds this weekend for something to do.

Naw, it's too cold!

fishslap · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 30, 2017, 04:58 PM »

You guys have had good fishable ice for over a week now. Go get it!

That was my Colorado report by the way. Most years I can get on in October without too much work.

Doz601 · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 06, 2017, 04:21 PM »

I just got word that meadowlark is nearly frozen... has a wet spot in the middle but I'm sure it won't be long.

Jason Stafford · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 07, 2017, 11:17 AM »

A few smaller lakes froze over last night. It is supposed to be close to 50 degrees Friday though.

So looking forward to it!

I did have my best year Kokanee fishing on the soft stuff this year though, Gorge treated me good.

cbooth5 · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 06, 2017, 04:14 PM »
