I think my wife will be there too!!!!!! And I think a couple friends will be there as well. I think maybe we should inquire about Van Halen being there for some tunes???????
-
Come on people...get your name on here. ;D ;D :icefish: :icefish:
-
COUNT ME IN
-
Count me in. I mignt be there Fri night catching ling.
-
I know im a iceshanty.com rookie, but i was plannin on heading out there this weekend anyway, if you folks wouldnt mind i would stop by. is there something that we can bring if we do show?
-
You are certainly welcome to show....bring a little firewood if you have any. Other than that bring anything you would take ice fishing anyway.
-
Excellent! Then count me in, I dont know for sure if I will be out there or not, but if I can seak out fishing from the wife on sat mornin, I will be sure to stop by with some wood, cold beer and cigars. Are you guys still wearing the hunters orange?
-
at least until everybody shows up.
-
by the way Patrick...are you involved with "The Man Store"?
-
Im in. 90% sure
-
Yeah, I run the downtown one, and its kinda what people recognize me as in public. "Hey! Its the Man Store Guy." I'm not in anyway trying to get free press or advertisement out of the forum, I just love ice fishing, and am trying to learn what to use, where to fish, ect. I am frustrated about coming home skunked more often than not. I figure if I hang out here long enough, and listen to what the hard core fisherman have to say, I'll figure this sport out.

Yeah, there's a learning curve. But the more you do it, and the more experience you get, the more fish you catch ;D
-
Yeah, I am a little rusty. I fished all the time in high school, then went into the military for a few years and didnt get to do any ice fishing. its almost like im learning how to do it all over again. I did just buy a new vexilar, I just hope that I can figure out how use it to catch fish like everyone tells me that it is going to.
-
Just bought one not too long ago myself. It works awesome....you can see when the fish are there and ready to pounce, that's for sure.
-
Yeah, I read your post about it. I think we both bought ours on the same day. I can track my jig, and everything else, i just havent found the fish with it, but i have only used it at the causeway. I am sure when I hit the silos, I'll find the perch.
-
The moon, sun , and stars have aligned..... should be some good fishing!!! ;D

I will be there. What time is everbody meeting up? I am leaving Bozeman around 6 on Sat. morn. I think I have a couple of buddies coming with. I fished CF today and will be out there in the morning also.
-
I'm still working on making it! Sounds like it will be a good time!...
-

Sounds good to me. I will probably put my hunter orange on when I get up Saturday morning so if people get there earlier, we can meet up if they want to. I am heading out tonight after work to see if I can't get on some ling.
-
I dont have Huters orang so I will just find all the other orange guys
-
How was the get together and how was the fishing guys?
-
I didnt do too well fishing on sat. I looked everywhere for the dudes in the orange, but never found them. I did see a couple out on the ice out at hole in the wall. I left the ice at 12:30 when I saw that huge storm coming over the mountains right at me. I drove around the campground , even the one by the store, where were you guys at?
-
I took my trailer out and parked it right the boat ramp by some trees. I put hunter orange on the door. We met there at 11 stayed around for about an hour then went to the hole in the wall and fished for a couple hours. Wiskeyandice, Rrfish and his wife, Jiggy and his wife, Walltrout and I were the only ones that we found or found us.
Fishing sucked. Wall trout stayed out all of Fri night attending tipups and a little jigging. Didn't catch anything until about 10 am and that was a small ling then a few mins later a small walleye. I think RRfish caught one small walleye as well.
About 2 or 3 on sat we moved to Duck Creek. Fishing sucked there as well. No fish at all but the beers flowed freely and the grilled brauts were worth the trip.
Let me change something here. The fishing was fantastic, catching sucked.
-
Well it sounds like you guys had a great time. We were out there but were down a little further by the dykes and catching sucked there as well. We caught two little trought and lost about 4 or 5 more. But at least the kids had fun playing on the ice.
-
you know what? I stopped and talked to you guys on my way back into shore hoping to run into you athe campground. I saw one guy wearing orange, but just thought it might be a coincidence and didnt say anything. darn, such the luck! oh well, if any of the guys around the helena area want to fish some other time, I am always down.
-
That was Jigmaster with the orange on. I left my orange hanging on Dingaling's trailer with a note to meet us at Hole in the Wall for people who may have showed up late.
The wind really was a downer. I couldn't evern step out of my shak without it sliding across the ice.
It finally died down in the evening. We had a big ol fire and lots of good food and BS.
I will be going out again soon. Maybe we can meet up one of these times. I am hoping to get my hardside shanty set up this weekend. That is always fun to fish out of.
-
Yeah, when I saw that grey wall of weather coming at me over the elkhorns, I didnt want any part of that. I headed right back to shore. I was the young man in the furry commie hat, with the brown furry coat. yeah, i dig hardbacked shanties. the wind can blow like h*ll, and you are just as comfy as if you were at home. I only have a clamshell, and i almost got blown away the last time i tried to useit at the causeway. its a bummer i didnt get to run into you guys, I was looking forward to it. are you guys going out to the lions perch dreby?
-
Im going to try to hit the causeways this week end anyone is welcome to join me.
