Where is everyone going to hit for their first outing?

harpenter · « **Reply #1 on:** Sep 09, 2011, 01:35 PM »

I'm thinking about starting at Mickelson's this year.

hoghammer · « **Reply #2 on:** Sep 09, 2011, 01:51 PM »

where ever the ice is fishable

IAEYE · « **Reply #3 on:** Sep 17, 2011, 07:25 AM »

Clear Lake. The fish have started to bite already. Work shallow!

graybeard · « **Reply #4 on:** Sep 17, 2011, 08:42 AM »

Well, usually I start on good old Union Grove. However, if the ice doesn't co-operate, I wouldn't be opposed to driving north a ways if needed. As soon as the first shotgun deer season is over, I'll be ready, if not sooner.

Upper Gar or West Okoboji

He may want to get some nice 20" fish.

Handy · « **Reply #9 on:** Sep 20, 2011, 07:40 PM »

Wherever I find safe ice! I live near my fave fishin hole so that will likely be the first place.

lost lake

BojiHawk · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 21, 2011, 02:48 PM »

I'm sorry....the correct answer was Spirit Lake, IA....Anglers Bay. Thanks for playing though! LOL.

I'm getting pumped up. Went to Waubay for my last long summer trip and FINALLY hammered the fish there. On Bitter actually. I hope Spirit can continue to spit out perch and walleye. Been a good past 3 years...but I spose all good things come to an end. This winter is going to be a full-on drill killer. I'm not stopping til I get mildly tired or sorta hungry. I'm that committed.

A co-worker was at Bitter last weekend and had really good luck too. My first ice spot was impacted by the ole Army Corp flooding experiment this summer. I think that I will head to Spirit this year. Was there last year the first weekend in December.

I was ganna hit spirit but heard a little lake by forest city produces excelent results early ice and will most likely freeze up before spirit lake

Zorros shack · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 24, 2011, 08:48 PM »

Gotta change mine. No Smith Cove, i got a better place that i cant even tell you guys not near NH, since a NH guy may see it.

Hard to say what's gonna freeze first but bet your a$$ I'll be checking and poking around till I find something fishable.

Seems weird...but 3 years ago my brother and I fished the grade on Big Spirit on Thanksgiving weekend and I drove my quad out onto Anglers 2 weekends after that. there was a huge opening in the ice where the canadian geese would overnight off Big Stony.

hotrod · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 31, 2011, 01:34 PM »

Last 2 years I was able to fish a farm pond Thanksgiving weekend. Hope to do that again this year.

Lakes, the first ones I check out are Rock Creek and Union Grove.

doonan · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 02, 2011, 10:20 AM »

Anglers on Spirit or Storm Lake

tricohatch · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 14, 2011, 10:28 AM »
