brujharr · « **Reply #3 on:** May 03, 2007, 09:23 PM »

Your probally 100% right, RLWagner! I'm just trying too plan ahead.

I'm a company man from April 1st to December 21st. January, February and March, it's my time. That just happens to be, ICE FISHING TIME!!!

I'm in!! I like the idea of the district jamboree's maybe starting early ice and then a statewide jamboree toward the end of the season. This will allow some friendships to form early on and people may be less apprehensive to go to a statewide jamboree. You know, travel in packs with new friends.

CrappieGuy · « **Reply #6 on:** May 17, 2007, 09:05 PM »

I agree with esox, several local ones to start the season and then a state wide one. If the state wide one was located more central it would also bring in more people. Say some where along the Hwy 64 or 29 line across the state. I have not been to one yet but paln on making it this year come he!! or high water.

brujharr · « **Reply #7 on:** May 17, 2007, 10:11 PM »

One, can only imagine, what this event could be, with a little planning!! Great idea, esox13!! CrappieGuy, has one good area picked, for something statewide!!

brujharr · « **Reply #8 on:** May 23, 2007, 09:56 PM »

District's, or area's! Or both! Let's have some fun, this winter, for a contest! In WI.

dabber-doo · « **Reply #9 on:** Jun 01, 2007, 07:52 PM »

I'm in, just don't forget the northeast part of wi.

brujharr · « **Reply #10 on:** Jun 01, 2007, 09:39 PM »

Let's start! Lake Poygan, could be one local?

HIMO · « **Reply #11 on:** Jun 02, 2007, 12:30 PM »

Poygan is part of the Winnebago chain. Remember they just discovered VHS in that chain a few weeks ago?

HIMO

brujharr · « **Reply #12 on:** Jun 07, 2007, 09:46 PM »

VHS! Most likely, every where else, already? One can't contain it, after, the (PANDORA'S BOX) is opened!

Buck1985 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jun 13, 2007, 01:19 PM »

I really like the idea of local ones then a statewide one, or set some up in areas and guys can travel to whichever ones they want, that wuld probably help out with the statewide

brujharr · « **Reply #14 on:** Jul 24, 2007, 09:24 PM »

Great, to hear from you Buck! Truly sorry, about your knee, and not returning the message!

Computers are EVIL!!

Where's a good place in your area!!

Buck1985 · « **Reply #15 on:** Jul 24, 2007, 10:55 PM »

I'm thinkin for West Central Wisconsin, Lake Altoona (Crappie Guy's home turf), Lake Eau Claire, not big named lakes, but for guys in the area they know them, if anyone else around here has ideas throw'em up, I'm open to ideas. Thanks, it's actually doin really well I was about 4.5 weeks ahead on rehab when I went to see the doc last time.

brujharr · « **Reply #16 on:** Aug 17, 2007, 09:37 PM »

Instead of areas! How about water systems?

River or lake?

Buck1985's, idea.

I'd be game for lake altoona (live in Chippewa Falls)

gaudetskie · « **Reply #18 on:** Aug 18, 2007, 10:34 AM »

The other lake that could be pretty good is Wissota. Although early season ice can be sketchy.
brujharr, what lakes were you thinking for a "main event" location? Silver lake in Wautoma, is about in the middle of the state (geographically) I'm game for about anything though.

brujharr · « **Reply #19 on:** Aug 18, 2007, 09:56 PM »

Nice choice's, gaudetskie! I'm thinking, some where on the "WISCONSIN RIVER" for the main event!

gaudetskie · « **Reply #20 on:** Aug 19, 2007, 09:02 AM »

how is the WI for ice? I've never fished it in the winter, sounds like it could be fun

esox13 · « **Reply #21 on:** Aug 19, 2007, 02:02 PM »

gaudetskie - I fish the Petenwell quite often in the winter and do well on perch, crappies, walleye and pike. It can be a bit spooky at times, but if you know where the river channel is (marked well on the HotSpot map) you will be ok. There is usually no guessing where the fish are - shanty town follows them pretty tight. We also head up to Nakoosa for pike and usually do good there as well.

As far as a mutli species body of water the Wisconsin River (namely the Petenwell) is as good as any in the state.

brujharr · « **Reply #22 on:** Aug 19, 2007, 07:15 PM »

So,some local event's and a main event?

That is what I am figuring from the responses - sounds like it is going to be a blast.

District's would draw a more "local crowd", that being, IS members in a close geographical area. Might be kinda cool to fish with your "neighbors".
On the other hand water systems might be a better deal for the "main event". We could get a feel for what system guy's (and gals) want to fish, but maybe just haven't the "proper motivation".
Just a few thoughts, when all is said and done though, I'll go pretty much any where

brujharr · « **Reply #26 on:** Aug 21, 2007, 08:03 PM »

I agree, gaudetskie! Good Idea! Local tournaments, by district's.

jr_the_dj · « **Reply #27 on:** Aug 31, 2007, 02:47 PM »

Hey, this looks like a fun idea.

So I am willing to set up an event for southeast WI. let me know what I can do to help.

-JR-

esox13 · « **Reply #28 on:** Aug 31, 2007, 04:42 PM »

jr_the_dj -- what lakes do you generally fish in SE WI?

I live in Fort Atkinson, but fish from Okauchee and Pewaukee up to Fox and Beaver Dam and out to Rock and Ripley and pretty much everything in between when I am in the area

Whatever everyone thinks for the outing . We have been putting our permanent shack on Lake Beulah for the past 10 years, but I think we are going to relocate it. The fishing just isn't close to what it once was.

Whatever everyone thinks is a good location for the outing is fine with me.

jr_the_dj · « **Reply #29 on:** Aug 31, 2007, 05:18 PM »

Well I normally travel north a bit to fish but because I live in Sheboygan I figure doing something around southeast WI would be better off. But I was just looking at a map and some old fishing reports off "LL" and I was thinking we could do Big Cedar somewhere around the mid to late Jan.

I guess I picked that lake cause it seems to be about the middle of SE WI. If someone thinks differently let me know.

Last year the ice depth was about 6" by the 23rd of Jan. So we can hope for a cooler winter a little sooner and we could hit it by mid Jan.

Any thoughts?
