If anyone wants my cell number, send me a PM and I will give it to you. If you get late, then you will still be able to find us.

I just finished programing my GPS with about 15 points of intrest for us. I had no time to go up and pre fish today, so we will need to rely on common sense, electronics, and hopefully a little advice from Appledoorns. ;D

That's it, another one in the can!

I would like to give a special thanks to Mr. Paul Waldowski from Appledoorn's Sunset Bay Resort for hosting us. Paul even took the time to lead us out to the perch grounds by Hennipin Island and gave us a few tips on how to catch them.

I would also like to thank Uncle Grump for bringing lunch and the means to cook it.

Here is Spear Chucker with a nice tulibee..



Here is Tommy with a perch..



What the heck is this? Hard ice thought it was a baby pout. Goby and sculpin were also mentioned. We caught a few of these out of the rocks.



I think we had a good time, and I hope everyone returns next year. The attendance was up over 100% from last year, lets see if we can double it again for next year.

We should look into an early ice and a late ice get together next year. I would be fun to put out some tip-ups and catch some Pike. Thaks for organizing the trip Skipper and thanks for the grub Uncle Grump.

I think next year I should take Friday off of work and scout out some fish (please! anything but miss work for fishing! ;D)

If anyone wants to volunteer help, we can split up and do some seek and destroy, full contact, attention deficit, full tank of gas burnt in the ATV, hardcore fish finding. I move fastest by myself. I can be on and off of a spot in 15min, and done with a piece of structure in an hour or two.

I wouldn't imagine Hard Ice or Tommy would need their arm twisted to help. ;)

That way the rest of you guys can come up and have a better shot at some decent fish, and I have an excuse to take off of work to fish!

Do we want to do Mille Lacs again? I like it because it is in the center of the state so no one has to drive too awful far, and a guy can get into some pretty good schools of perch. Pelican and Gull up by Brainerd are also an option. Gull is top notch, and Pelican makes some nice crappies. Leech, Cass, and Winnibigoshish are a little far for the metro and southern MN guys to make a day out of. I guess there White Bear and Forest Lake near the Metro too, but I know nothing about them at all. The only other "destination" lake I can think of within reasonable drive for everyone is Minnetonka, but again I know nothing about it.

The Milaca Super Slab (Mille Lacs) is still my first choice, especially if I can scout ahead of time. If we gang up on the old girl and do some work, Id bet we would up our chances by quite a bit. :)

Any lake south of Mille Lacs is going to be very different ice conditions come mid March. My son and I were going to fish Minnetonka the next day, it had standing water all over it, just a handfull of people fishing on it. I would like to propose an early ice get together at whatever lake makes sense in December. We can use the ice fishing show in St Paul as a good time to start planning the trip.

Haywood tried to put together an early GTG on West Rush, and no one came. :-\ I think it is a great idea to have a early get together, maybe in mid December on a small lake. I should have my snowmobile done by then (I hope) so someone could borrow my sportsman to toodle around for the day. Plus my snowmobile is a 2 up, so someone could ride girlfriend with me. ;D

I am busy as hell during ice show time, so we may want to steer clear of it a bit. I want to but together a booth next year that will make Ice Team's look like a church garage sale (yeah right!).  ;D That was a good time down there, and I look foreward to doing it again.

I don't think that Ice team has much to worry about! :D We have a 10' by 10', and Mr. Genz has a 100' by 100'! They have new Arctic Cats, Vexilars, Strikemaster, and the ultimate draw, Dave Genz! Somehow they got their booth centrally located and directly across from the Ice Fishing Bikini Team. ;)
