Nice! where ya fishin?
on the dry side of the ice!
Glad my post humored ya. Yep...guess a code of secrecy not worth disclosing/sharing on dem 10" perch's public water locale fer sure!! lol sorry i asked...
I am long overdue for a swim...maybe tomorrow when its in the 40s and I'm out in a t-shirt probably cuz Byron has read my posts for several years now and knows I usually don't post where I'm fishing....this year especially with the lack of ice I'm not giving out a ton of info because if I do everyone and there mother will be there the next day add on mid 40s and 10-20mph winds tomm and who knows if I'll end up swimming off since the ice wasn't even 4" and was already starting to get lots of bubbles in it
300+ views already...how many do you guys think were from guys who never even bothered to sign up for an account? or did yet have never posted any info? Everyone seems to forget for every 10 people on this forum theres maybe 1 or 2 who contribute and the rest just lurk looking for info but its OK because i guess my gas is so much cheaper than theres and my time so much less valuable that I was able to leave the couch to go and find ice when everyone is screaming there isn't any. That right there is my reason for starting this thread in the first place, to show there IS ice out there and there IS fish being caught through it by guys who take the time to go out and find it rather than expecting the internet to tell them where it is Guess since everyone would rather believe there is no ice I'll stop posting from now on since that's what everyone here seems to want
I post here and there on here, but I'm by no reason an expert on Ice fishing. I heard rumors of fishable ice, so my buddies and I did what you did Ski hunter. WE WENT OUT AND FISHED. We checked the ice, found out we were safe and good to go, and we had a ball last weekend on PUBLIC WATER! I laugh all the time when I get on here at all the people looking for a handout. I'm on a few other hunting and fishing forums, and the guys looking for a handout all get treated the same. Go out and find the information for yourself! The guys that take the time to find out for themselves will keep reaping all the benefits, so turn the TV off, get off the couch, and go fishing.
ski hunter, if you don't mind, please allow me to respond to those that ask "WHERE" and HOW MUCH ICEYou need to drive to a lake, check the ice, and then find out if you can fish it, there are no instant answers.Those of us that make the effort do not care to tell jack and jill where the golden pile of gold is, figure it out and stop asking such stupid questions. If I sound rude, it's because I am, I spend my time, gas money and effort to check for MY OWN ICE there is no instant answer, especially this year, it is here today and "maybe" tomorrow. This site is so full of these lurkers it is ridiculous.Grow up and get a life, get a car, get a ride, go check for yourself, drill a hole, then answer your own questions.And those that are gonna question me, lol, ha ha, you've already quoted me on Lake Jean ice, and seen my photos so **censored**??
Well.. now thats 3 on my ignor list. Looking for a handout, being lazy, lurking etc. Give me a break. My nearest likely fishable ice is approx 150 miles from my home so i rely on fellow sportsmen sharing conditions out there. Not looking to hog in on your little "honey holes" as you so eluded & are so afraid of. You guys are definitly little league at best & a disgrace to us sportsmen. Sorta like grade school "show & tell" except your afraid to tell!! Bout time some grow-up and get a life...the Big Bad Boggie Man ain't gonna getsha lol
I’m not sure how I feel about how this threat has turned out. I hook a pile of quality crappies every year, I share specific locations with very few people. Does this make me a slob? I work hard for those locations. I’m not interested in having a location I worked hard for blown out. I can post picture of 12 to 16 inch crappies all day long. No I would not give a specific location but I would have no problem on telling you what body of water I’m fishing. And no if I had a trophy buck I would not let you know where it is at. But I think there is a difference between that and sharing general information. Like posting a body of water, especially when it is a public body of water, there no hidden secret there. The vast majority of the threads I post are to help others, to save them a trip. As I regularly share how the bite is, on what every body of water I’m fishing. I have zero problems telling you what I’m using or how I hook the fish I do. For years I have regularly taken my time to drive by and post how the ice is coming along early in the season and how it is doing at the end to save guys a trip. Again my digits from my G.P.S. not going to happen, but general information is what these sites are all about. The people who live in and around that area will be fishing those areas either anyway. Those who do not more than likely will not take a 3 hour drive and if they do they more than likely will not be on you honey hole. Cool picks, thanks for sharing. I agree with not giving out specific locations, but the general stuff is where you lose me at. Take care, Be safe,Snapper

Don't worry Loggy... what Ski Hunter didn't factor in, is that anything that is "swirled" in Photoshop to protect a location, can just as easily be UN-swirled to reveal the original photo.I haven't quite nailed it down... but it might be Minsi Lake judging by that tree line.
