Gosh I hate Construction for reasons like this I should be fishing not going to work damn government workers😁😁 good luck and be safe
From the pics I've seen I think sleds will be fine. I'll let everyone know for sure tomorrow
Haven't heard from Gale but Damon is in for Friday & Saturday then he has to get back Saturday night. I'll post up what we find in the morning up the there, I'm guessing we'll be back before 9pm.
Man that looks like a lot more fun than my Friday at work!! Glad the recon trip went well.. Thanks Matt it will be a fun one.
Man I’d really like to make this trip but I’m committed elsewhere. I’d say that conditions look to be great for you, nice recon job. Hope to make the next one. Be safe out there and have fun !
Well I think I've got about everything packed and ready to load. Got some bad news today that fishon1 is out. I'll gladly hook some up for you buddy you will be missed on this trip but I think if we play our cards right we may get a few more trips in before we call it for the year. I was stoked to here my soon to be son inlaw is going to make it. Going to be a great experience for him camping on the ice. Good thing he's got a great group to show him how it's done. Just wish we would have had one in our early days, but we figured it out. Man we've came so far since we started making this trip. From sleeping in a chair in my qf3 to a legit comfy cot in the xl6000 Bigfoot or trailer. Hauling 100's of Lbs of gear by hand to pulling everything by sled or wheeler. Old eagle fish finder to the awesome LX7. Homemade jackers to actual jaw jackers. Cleaning out holes every 20 mins to the newest idea of not cleaning them out all night. More to come on that one. Good times. I better stop now or I'm not going to sleep tonight. Come on Friday
Sorry to hear about Fishonone! Take care of your family buddy. I also thought maybe I might get sidetracked with some business crap that needed tending to but was able to get it resolved a few minutes ago. Sitting on the ice will be so nice for me this week. Since I got back from Cascade, I have had to deal with some real idiots! I am officially loaded for bear and will head out tomorrow morning and meet up with Ryan at Ace hardware around noon. Slapthefish should have the fish located and my holes drilled by the time we hit the lake. I decided to bring my four wheeler instead of the snowmobile due to the temperatures down there. I talked to Wyohunter this morning and he will head over tomorrow morning with a friend. He was the guy last year that was Fishing across the pressure ridge from our group. He said his season has been terrible near Cheyenne this year. I sure hope that the ice holds out. My four wheeler doesn’t know how to swim as we found out at Henry’s.Sure appreciate the reporting from your recon trip and local guys!
Thanks Matt I sure wish I could be there but my father in-law is not doing to good. I sure will be thinking of you guys. Good luck and hook them up.
Trailers loaded, now for Friday morning to get here. For those traveling up tomorrow morning drive safe and the rest of us will see you Friday. For those coming later travel safe and we'll see you on the iceGotta do what you gotta do bro. We'll get some hooked up for you but you'll have to wait till I get service to see any pics. Oh ya I'll let joe catch a couple just smaller than mine. Lol
I am glad you was able to get you work order done so you could go 🎏 and there are some special people out there . Good luck Joe and drive safe and also don't let Matt cache all the fish
Don’t make me break out the Photoshop!
