i want to hit pactola for lakers.
Thats a good idea. I've been itchin to hook a laker for a while.(I better not misspell that, it could lead to trouble) Can you suggest any good areas? Do you have to use steal leaders with lake trout?I figure about 20 yards of the dam face would make for some good deep water, but what do I know, I've never caught a lake trout. Thanks
hey stumper where you from ?
Since I am still a rookie , I plan to attach myself to the side of your permie....lol
That is probably the best story I have ever heard, LOL. I can only imagine how much fun, given the circumstances at hand, that would've been to be at the "helm" of it all (good job Stumper). At least the guy was sorry, felt bad, and obviously knew he did wrong. I don't know if I'd buy into the whole wind deal as a factor in the issue though... he must have a really whimpy heater/stove in that thing if that's the case.
LOL, just to give yah an idea it was 35 mph winds with below zero temps. Its just an enclosed trialer that dont drop down, BUT thats still no excuse IMO.
Just want to toss out an invitation to anyone that is new to icefishing and wants to give it a try before spending a bunch of $$$ to get geared up to see how they like it. This also goes for anyone thats really not into Icefishing that has kids that would like to give it a try. Once we get good ice ,if you would like to make the drive to Mitchell I will be happy to take you and/or your kids out to give it a whirl. Just drop me a PM or reply here and we can set up a day to go out. I have everything needed as far as gear,so all you need is munchies and your beverage of choice.
Right now?
