Moose I've made some hook setting tipups that work pretty well they are similar to a slammer.If you would like I'll tell you or show you how to make them. I use old or broken open water rods that i modify for them as rod length to trigger is fairly important.

Forecast is for a low of 7 degrees on next Tuesday night here in R S.   I think if we're lucky in the SW part of WY that we may be on SOME ice the Saturday after the turkey comes and goes.   Not to count chickens but the water is in condition now and a few days of good cold should do it.

Were looking at a low of -3 for Tuesday at Worland that should put an ice cap on a few places.

Fishsmith, I use styrofoam as bait in my minnow traps. Sounds weird but it really works. It floats and brings the fish in. I usually buy 250 meal worms from a mail order dealer and raise them from there. Havent tried to do it from scratch yet. But its all good. When the fish are biting and the bait is hard to find I have my own stash.

Fishsmith- I will send you the info by the end of the weekend for mealworm distributer and any other info you might need. I am going hunting this morning trying to fill the last tags of the season and start to get serious on the ice fishing. Didnt get to go last year as I was stuck in Oklahoma for a year. So I have a lot of making up to do. Like every day on the ice YES.

with the cold temps set for next week i'm sure hoping to see some ice fishing pictures real soon or take a few myself....whoot whoot.
Bring on the Ice Ice Baby.

By the way has anyone heard the song "Ice Fish Baby"  A remake of Vanilla Ice's song.  If you haven't heres the link, its pretty funny:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sqddHrf9n4

Fishing is not about life or death, it is much more important than that! And all I have to say is FISH ON baby.

Now I am really ready!!!   I found a free ice auger on craigslist a little over a week ago...surprisingly was able to find a new diaphragm for the carb on ebay (and only $3) -

Got it today...put it back together - and it ROARS!  We will see how it does under a load, but it feels strong. Hopefully when the ice gets really thick I can use it and have more freedom to move around - I don't move very often once I get my holes drilled with the hand auger!


Bring on the cold!

Just woke up this morning to 4-5 inches of fresh powder snow. The wind didn't blow at all with it so we should be building some good ice by the weekend!!!!!! ;D

 The fishing lake in gillette was 99% frozen yesterday. By the end of the week the lake should be close to safe for fishing.

Greetings fellow Gilletian. I don't know how much ice in vegas you'll be finding.
So many fish, so little time.
