What's the first lake you dudes plan on hitting?
« on: Oct 29, 2008, 09:59 AM »
I know we would all love to jet up north at the first word of solid ice but in reality which lake do you think you will hit first?

Since I live in SF I will prob hit something around the Brookings area when I get word of good ice.  Maybe Thompson or Fish Lake.  Maybe Whitewood, I have done very well there the past 2 yrs right away after the freeze.  May get a wild hair and drive further north if they get good ice pretty early.

First Lake will probably me Mitchell, but I usually hit a stock pond first. Its usually fishable a few days before the lake is.

Being new to the area will stay closer to the SF area.  Most likely hit Wall or Alvin first.

Over here in the black hills deerfield will freeze first. If I can, I hold out for another week and hit stockade lake. Are you eastern guys getting ice yet?

Right now I don't care which lake it is, as long as I can get out.
Muskies...All other fish are just bait!

had decent luck there last summer, haven't ice fished it much, but it is kind of "the" place to be with so many lakes having a bad winterkill last year.
