about three years ago they changed from hwy 25 to county road #3
I live 1 1/2 miles from the lake and there is a landing on merrifield bay.
you have the right lake just go towards the train bell resort and you'll see the signs for the landing.

Just follow HWY 25 up on the map from Brainerd until you get to Merrifeild. It is the same road that goes up through Becker, Foley, and Pierz.

If anyone wants to carpool with me, that would be fine. I live less than a mile off of US 169 just north of Milaca. I have an X-cab long box pickup, so space for gear should not be an issue. I would be about 30 miles north of Elk River or about 40 miles north of Rogers.

I will start a sign up thread so we can get a better idea of who is coming. I would not expect a crowd. I wouldn't ask the owner of the wagon wheel to put an extra waitress on just for us. $:-\$ . If anyone wants to go, just post yes or maybe on that thread. It will be stickied above this thread in Minnesota general.

they just want us to be taken care of so maybe we will make this a regular thing.
they are very supportive of our group.

Skipper · « **Reply #216 on:** Mar 03, 2008, 07:22 PM »

What time are we going to meet?

Is everyone signed up?

tstegora · « **Reply #217 on:** Mar 03, 2008, 09:42 PM »

I'm open to any time.
I can be on the lake in ten minutes from the time I leave my house, so it's up to you guys just let me know when

Very nice!

At 33 for a high, we wont be wading around in water and sloppy snow.

Hard Ice · « **Reply #223 on:** Mar 14, 2008, 07:52 PM »

Just got back a little bit ago from the lake there wasn't to much water on the ice after last nights freezing temps but when you come off the landing make sure you stay to the left side cause theres a big hole in the center i'm not sure if it goes down all the way i didn't want to drive though it to find out..

also they are still driving on the lake but my quads loaded if you choose not to drive out which can be a very long walk ..

Do i need to stick signs out where you are to turn or not ??

my plan is to leave here around 7 am and hit the lake around 830-900 AM i will check back to see iof anybody replys this..

Skipper · « **Reply #224 on:** Mar 14, 2008, 08:42 PM »

We will be going out on quads for sure...

I will be leaving Milaca around 9:00, so I should be out there by 10:00 to 10:30. If anyone wants to meet up with us early and do some "prefish", call my cell.

(320..

Hey Hardice, do you have a cell? If you dont mind, PM me your number so I can find you when we get there. What part of the lake to you think you will be on?

We will be on two new polaris sportsmans. One is green and one is blue, the blue one is an X2 model. We will be fishing out of or pulling a fish trap voyager.

Hard Ice · « **Reply #225 on:** Mar 14, 2008, 10:57 PM »

I'll be straight out from the landing on a blue Polaris sportsman with a clam yukon..
cell is zapped to avoid spamers if you wish to have it please pm me..

p.s
if i'm sitting out in the open i'll be wearing blue ice armor

Skipper · « **Reply #226 on:** Mar 15, 2008, 08:33 PM »

Thanks for coming out guys!

The fishing was a bit slow, but the weather couldn't be beat! I sunburned my face!

Hard Ice · « **Reply #227 on:** Mar 15, 2008, 10:41 PM »

pleasure meeting you all ..

for the ones who decided to stay at home you missed out !!

Skipper · « **Reply #228 on:** Mar 17, 2008, 06:58 PM »

Stupid me had a camera in my pocket all day and didnt even take a single picture.

We will never be able to prove how many fish we caught!
