3 stages of ice, 4 inches, thin crust, open water.

same lake, my FAVORITE lake around! Big gills, lots of em, and not a cottage on the whole lake! Reminds me of being in canada

Sliding on the ice at the launch!!!!

I did find some fishable ice tho, heading out either tomarrow or tuesday for the first trip of the year. Good luck guys, ice season is upon us! May your lines be tight and rods bent! BRING IT ON!

Mr.Vexilar · « **Reply #3 on:** Dec 07, 2008, 09:12 PM »

We're close initforfun! If we could just get some cold weather without snow we'd be golden! The part i wanna fish of that lake is froze, just no way to get to it........ Maybe i could through the woods tho... GOnna have to try it!

Fishhead, when it locks up and gets good and solid i'll take ya! You wont beleive it, its an awesome lake. I fish 2 lakes that are just like that. No cottages, surrounded by woods, reminds me of canada!!

Do i haveta take the ice gear to ur place next wk, or wont you have fishable ice yet?

I dont go ice fishing to get cold, i go to catch fish (right RC??) Plus i dont want everybody know how we're doing, and they cant see inside the shanty. Our freezer is done filled right up with venison. I got 4 deer in there, dad has 1, and sister has 1, i'll try and kill 1 maybe 2 more does and call it a year for the deer.

I dont hunt state woods Hollywood. I thought about it this year, did some scouting in Allegan state woods and found some real good acorn ridges and thick bedding areas with lots of buck sign. Just never made it around to hunting them at all. I hunt all private property. I have 2 seperate farms up north i lease totalling 100 acres, and 4 good permission spots around home. I dont gun hunt past opening day, maybe 1 or 2 times after that to kill a doe, then the bow comes back out, this is the first year in 5 yrs i've killed more than 1 deer with a gun. 2 does with a gun, buck and a doe with my bow. NOw im back to strict bowhunting again.

My freezer is still way to full now. Been stuffin' it with venison. I kinda wonder were in the heck I am going to put all the fish I am going to catch this year? I actively fill about 3 freezers a year. Between blueberries, venison, pork, and fish.....well the economy won't keep me from going hungry this year. And I know there are some guys out there that will cry about me being a game hog. But I say it is all in your priorities. I do exercise QDM and that entails bringing the doe population in check. (which I have had little success in controlling that) But I try, and there is quite a bit of doe meat in the freezer. As for the fish...I caught them over a half a dozen lakes the have public access on them. And the pork ...well I helped a farmer out with a hog that broke its leg.

Wont be hearing no complaining from me RC. As long as im not accused of being a game hog neither will you! I sure am ready to stack up the fish tho! Venison is stacked, need some fresh fillets!

RealityCheck · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 08, 2008, 03:16 PM »

I am thinkning of having a fish fry soon. I will have to pretend that I just caught them. I have about 200-300 left. That will just get me to the new ice fishing season.

Mr.Vexilar · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 08, 2008, 03:18 PM »

Yea we usually do a big ol fishpry the end of december with both sides of the whole family.. Its kinda funny actually, one side is really conservative and kinda laid back, and then there is the other side, the side i take after, roughneck beer drinkin rednecks! Hopefully the "spec" lake freezes up quick this year, cant wait to get out there and hammer some pike and specs!
