i fish this area in bass tourny and have caught a few bowfins...anyone ever catch any of these through the ice? judging by their fight on a rod and reel, i can only imagine bringing one in on a tipup

Looks like there is a public fishing pier on the west side and the boat launch looks to be on the east side? do we park in those areas or do you park on the bridge?

nitzer · « **Reply #122 on:** Feb 06, 2012, 12:30 PM »

i plan on parking in the boat launch, if i get there early enough lol

There's parking at the pier and boat launch. We'll be an easy walk from either parking area.
Be prepared for toothy critters, bass, and panfish.

how do they fight on a tip-up?

combsey · « **Reply #126 on:** Feb 06, 2012, 02:55 PM »

Like a bull

What are we talking for FOW and structure?

combsey · « **Reply #128 on:** Feb 06, 2012, 05:31 PM »

No more then 12 feet. Mostly I the 3 to 7 foot range. Weed beds and some clay bottom. Pike bass pickerel perch. Crappies and a chance at an eye

....maybe a cat, bowfin, heck, even saw an eel come through a hole there once. It's a grab bag.

For anyone new to this thread and interested in joining us,
I updated my first post to include all of the information for our gathering.
Soon I'll get a food list together and put that under the first post.

step2jimi · « **Reply #137 on:** Feb 09, 2012, 06:05 PM »

dont know how i missed this one but as slayer said im in. im there every weekend pretty much anyway. around the bridge is fine with me keeps guys away from my secret spot. ot sure what i can bring as far as food and stuff because i never know what the money situation is going to be that far out. but if i can swing it ill bring some stuff. camping out sounds fun and i just got a new 6 man so iv been thinkin about it anyway. ill deffinetly be there for sunday and will chime in next week about the camp out. sounds like a good gathering. jamie you have to fish, i gotta take all the jiggin tips you tought me last year and use them against you. never got a chance to get out with you last year. maybe a little personal challenge?

You can't miss us. We all look like we're from West Virginia

Seriously, you can't miss the fishing area we will be in, right next to the bridge on route 22, just a couple miles north of the village of Whitehall. I'm not sure if we will be on just one side of the bridge, or both, but no matter everyone will be close anyway.

If all else fails, just speak up to the first guy you see on the ice and say, " we're here to meet the iceshanty guys "

prchslyr · « **Reply #140 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 07:38 AM »

Guys,
I plan to set up within a couple hundred yards straight off the boat launch. We will end up being one of the closest crews to the boat launch just to make us easiest to find. I have a black Eastman Ice Cube that will have a banner on it. I know at least 3 of us have hub style shanty's.
Last week they were driving trucks out. The shoreline got too soft to get trucks on for a few days, but the quads were still out. By the time the 26th comes they may be driving on it again. We all know how that goes though. I made sure we planned to set up close enough so that driving a truck on will be unnecessary. If conditions are right, I will drive on. To be safe I would not drive a truck on without talking to one of us that fish there regularly.
I'll be fishing for sure. Just doubt I'll be fishing too hard that day.

well not sure about you but I have all my teeth

but yes I think most of us look like some upstate backwoods boys. I don't think you will be able to miss us. And if you do you started drinking to early lol

combsey · « **Reply #142 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 12:23 PM »

I'll be there Saturday afternoon and staying over.

adkRoy · « **Reply #148 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 06:07 PM »

I have to laugh. I was getting bait this afternoon and the fisherman in front of me was talking about how south bay is all open water.

adkRoy · « **Reply #149 on:** Feb 10, 2012, 06:10 PM »

If everyone bought one of these by the get together, it'd be much easier to identify each other:

Only $10 on the iceshanty pro shop
