That is good! We don't need a big cluster park out on the lake. $:-\$

Unless the ice is awful thick, I try to put my truck on the ice as little as possible.

yarndt52 · « **Reply #68 on:** Dec 08, 2007, 09:17 AM »

So did we decide on the 19th then as the date? I gotta make sure I get that day off from work so just wondering what the plan is!!

Skipper · « **Reply #69 on:** Dec 08, 2007, 06:25 PM »

yes, we settled on a date and lake while back.

I just wanted to let the resort thing set a few days. We don't have a sponsor on the lake yet, so location is up for debate. If no one objects by sunday, I will change the first post in this thread to include the plan.

We have had this conversation a few times now. Now my mother-in-law said she was going to come stay with us, so I might be interested in splitting a house if I go. How much is a month rental?

HawkEyeman · « **Reply #79 on:** Dec 11, 2007, 12:10 PM »

lol Haywood

In all seriousness, I'd be interested in splitting a house too. I snor but at least it's another person to go halves'ies with.

Update:
Actually, looking at the reservation list it appears that only a few houses remain for that weekend. Lets get chating and figure out if we can make this happen ASAP!

Paul Waldowski · « **Reply #80 on:** Dec 11, 2007, 09:31 PM »

We have opened up our access to Wheeler's and Snowmobiles. We have a good start to our road and trails blazed Doe Island Reef and to Shaw's Reef. We have punched many holes and have found a steady 8 inches of ice. Our plan is to have a couple of our 4 hole houses out in the bay by this weekend on perch spots.

Tony Roach and a couple of his guys were out this afternoon and got a few perch. They kept a couple of them for dinner.

Hard Ice · « **Reply #81 on:** Dec 12, 2007, 08:22 AM »

Paul,
It's looking better and better all the time i can't wait till the gathering !

from what i seen in the ice raod pic's you don't have to much snow on your side of the lake maybe 8" or am i seeing things ?

Paul Waldowski · « **Reply #82 on:** Dec 16, 2007, 07:14 PM »

Perch are being caught off of Doe Island Reef. Some size to them but we need to sort threw them to get eaters. 13-15 feet of water has been best. Small jigs with waxies.

Walleye's are out in the deeper water off of the reefs and mud. 30-32 feet of water. Small Jigging Spoons with minnow heads. These 2 fish came from 31 feet of water and were caught with a 1/16 Go Devil and a minnow head. He also picked up a limit of eaters from the same depth.

Timmer · « **Reply #83 on:** Dec 17, 2007, 08:24 AM »

Hey, new to the forum and I could use some fishing buddies, especially those that know how to fish better than me and are willing to share their knowledge!

I'm wondering if it's worth hooking up with you guys if I would have to leave by 3:30pm or so? What time do you guys think we'll make it out to the ice after meeting up?

Haywood · « **Reply #84 on:** Dec 17, 2007, 08:42 AM »

they moved my wifes due date up a week, so I should have no reason not to make it. Timmer, how far of a drive would you have? I am hoping we will be hitting the ice right away, maybe make 10:00 the go time and start rolling in for coffee around 9:30.

First, congrats on the new kid!

I haven't looked up the resort yet so I'm not sure where that is on the lake. I'm in East Bethel, so we are practically neighbors, you could tell me how far I am away! I can get to the south side in around 1.25 hours.

5. Shoot the

You're now as good of Ice Fisherman as I half the anglers on this forum

Well, I'm capable of most of those! It took me over 2 hours to tear apart my auger and get it going last week, so I almost failed #1.

Sweet, you can pick me up on the way. Paul can probably post the best directions, but they are on the east side of the lake, north of Isle. If you even need to go fishing, let me know.
