MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Invitation is open to you as well TCF. I'll try to overlook the fact you are probably a Vikings...
We could do a SE WI Shanty outing at McKinley? Mid Jan?
Hey WalleyeBird,Originally from Stevens Point and fish through the ice on Dubay and surrounding areas often each winter as well. Give a shout if you're down!
@ WalleyeBird: Know a guy that has frontage on North Lake but I haven't seen or talked to him him in years. FWIW I fish the St. Germain and Eagle River/Three Lakes area frequently as
Moved up to Oconomowoc about 3 years ago from Illinois (AND NO I'm not a Bears Fans).Would love to hook up with you guys whenever you go out.Started fishing in "Lake Country" and have had mixed results.Keep me posted if you need another guy to go out with.
Yeah it’s just the in laws that are down there so I haven’t exactly fished down there much either. Ever stop short around tomahawk/minocqua? Unless I get my sleeper done I’d say St Germain is a bit of a hike for me. Hoping to keep my shack out at the Willow flowage quite a bit too
I know everyone is anxious but it is not going to get that cold until Friday night. I think there won't be any safe ice this weekend. I'm hoping for around Thanksgiving. No need to get wet. There will still be plenty of lakes you can take a boat out on.
He seems pretty confident that there will be. Haha. Wouldn’t be till Sunday night that I’d even be able to go. He’s gonna check where it’s at Saturday. I don’t really expect it to work out either.
As the McKinley/Summerfest Lagoon brown bite has become more popular, the fishing has gotten much worse. I haven't even tried the past few years due to all the pressure - especially on the weekends. But it's still kind of a bucket list destination, so I get the enthusiasm behind it. I always did fine on small to medium shiners under tip ups and then jigging a white road runner jig or a small rippin rap. They both have their time and place! I would try to get out there very early to stake out your spots and then use your extra tip ups/autos to define "your area". You'll still have guys coming out and popping holes and everything mid morning... people don't understand that browns aren't like pike - you gotta keep from spooking them! If you guys do pick a date for such a trip, I'll see if I can sneak away from the Mrs. and newborn. I've wanted to ice fish with Chad for years!
