You would be able to put the trailer at buckboard with some hook ups and ride over to where we are on the wheeler. Not that far away. I wouldn't take it down rd8. The road was pretty beat in and iced over. Wouldn't want the mothership sliding off the road. Definitely worth watching the roads up for sure with new snow. Im only seeing a small chance on Wednesday and Thursday

For Gale and whomever else finds this handy on their travels to the gorge north end. This is all the WYDOT cams from Evanston to past Rock springs on the NWS website. Once on there you can change it by Interstate, state route ect....for other places in the state. Good stuff

Thanks Matt ! Good advice, as I remember it is a short ride across the ice. See everyone there!

Drive safe Joe. I am still up in the air on whether or not I will make it down for a day. I'm kind of tired of driving after the last few days but we will see.

Thanks guys. Just leaving Green River. Wind making me feel lazy. Will report what I find in a few hours.

Hey Joe, great video on the lure making... Hope they work well for you while you're on the gorge... They looked like good ones.. Wish I could have joined the crew for this weekend, but didn't work out for me... Have fun... J

What a great trip this year, just wish the catching would have been half as good as the company. I would have to say this was the worst catching weekend I've ever had at the gorge. I did manage 2 cuts, which was a 1st for me there & 2 pups. The ice conditions were pretty nasty when at got there but it firmed up good by today with only a few slush pockets around. I'll get some pics up soon atleast the few I took

fishonone · « **Reply #43 on:** Jan 28, 2019, 05:02 AM »

What a great trip and it was great to see everyone. Fishing for me was ok as I got 6 burb and 2 lakers.

My new sleeper tent was fantastic.

massNtrash · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 28, 2019, 09:37 AM »

Sounds like you guys had some fun, sorry I wasn't able to make it down that way the ice conditions scared me away. Hopefully when you all come up to Joe's neck of the woods I will be able to join. This year has been crazy with the baby but I am starting to be able to sneak away a bit more now.

POk3s · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 28, 2019, 03:47 PM »

Sounds like a fun trip! I tried to find you guys Saturday morning but I didn’t see an obvious shanty camp with all the people that were around!!! After driving around south buckboard for a bit I left to go find some big fish as I had buddies heading out. I’m glad I did because I tied into the biggest ice laker of my life! Next time we need to get you boys on these guys! Once I knew I could get out to this spot safely I couldn’t think of doing anything else lol.

That's a great video, I'm really kicking myself in the but for not going with you trent. That 2nd day looked to be more productive for fish on the ice but no comparison to the hog on the 1st day for you for sure. Good job

Great fish, Trent, and nice job on the video as well!

liv2hunt · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 06:29 AM »

Trent great video! Those fish are defiantly earned, i have had plenty of days fishing. It is nice when you have a catching day. I love to hate those big lakers. I am Sorry I did not go last weekend, that is all i thought all weekend. Glad all of the shanty members had a good time.

prospector · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 08:28 AM »

I was very happy to know that nobody got hurt the other day! Damon put a scare into me pretty good. Here is a couple clips of the ATV that fell through the ice.

muskyon46 · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 12:52 PM »

Thae footage of that sideXside is crazy. I thought it was the red 4 seater that was parked on the shore but thats definitley a different machine. Here's some shots i took thru the weekend. Nothing to fancy but I spent so much time working those fish on my finder and not getting them to bite I didnt get time for much else. This is how our parking ened up along with the other 4 trucks inour group that showed up later. Plenty of snow on the ground for sure. The road we wanted to take was blocked by a toyota truck that parked right in the middle of the road, I just dont understand what people are thinking some times.

This is a few of the new sleeper, had some good sushi the 1st night and steaks after that, YUMMY! The rod holder works great attached to the pole also

The night scenery was spectacular. The full oon made for some great shots also. Just wish the focus could have been better. Lots of lights from the top of the hill above us and i Tried getting a full panoramic of the bay out into the main channel

And of course the friends and fish!

Great times fellas thanks for including me on these adventures

I knew when I passed that camp
Saturday morning that that was you guys!!! But with so many Utah plates around I didn’t want to just start banging on doors! Anyway, sorry again I missed you guys. Next year it’s out for big fish!!!!

What's the story there? Spring? Expansion Crack? Vehicle too heavy for ice thickness? Seems like a lot of ATV use in all the pics...

Geezer_ · « **Reply #57 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 07:54 PM »

Had a great time with the gang at the Gorge! Joe you should have seen the one that broke off at the hole on your lure! Darn the bad luck ! What a trip....... lost a bag of poles, had skid marks (not mine) on my sheets at the super 8 and had to move, had a warning light come on on my truck and had to have it checked out, and had the big one break off at the hole. All and all still a great trip ! Ready to plan the next one, who wants to go to Cascade ?

Definitely to heavy to be going on the ice at that spot. There was open water just to the west of where they went in. You can see it in the video

Oh man I thought you had a bad enough weekend and now your telling me you lost the big one at the hole too. Geez Gale the fish gods are going to be really shining on you on your next trip for sure.

muskyon46 · « **Reply #59 on:** Jan 29, 2019, 09:27 PM »

Here's a short clip I took up on the hill on the 1st trip up there. You can see Joe's 1,000,000 candle watt lights on his poles for sure. The wall tent looks like a japanese lantern and it was just as warm.
