I just checked the weather. It looks like we are going to have a little warm up, followed by a little cool off. The ice should still be 120% by the end of next week.

If any of you guys don't have cleats, I suggest you invest in some! We should have a slick one again this year. I forgot my cleats last year and it sucked!

The Perch bite is really starting to heat up. It should be in full swing by the IS Gathering.

I fished yesterday with Tony Roach and a few of our other guides and we pounded the perch

What is the status of the ice w/ regard to being able to drive on it? That warm weather down here (SE) has played havoc w/ some of the lakes....

Can a truck be driven on/off ok - or should we be bringing a wheeler along?

Thanks

UG

I see some single digits and a -10 this week, that should firm up the top layer pretty good. The ice is still in great shape and safe to drive on up here. If you want to send Paul Waldowski an email, he would know what kind of shape his roads are in better than anyone.

Saturdays weather forcast for Isle, MN is 41F and mostly sunny. Should be a great day for fishing!

Skipper · « **Reply #101 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 04:58 PM »

BRING SUNSCREEN!!

It will look like you put a campfire out with your face if you don't.

SPF 30 chapstick is a must too.

To make it easier to meet up with guys I have not met yet..

Here is a pic of me

Here is a pic of my truck

I ride an 06 polaris sportsman with a white jiffy auger on the back. I fish out of a pretty blue Fishtrap Voyager.

Here is Two Fish, he will be with me.

Hard Ice · « **Reply #103 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 10:28 PM »

Im not to far away. I drive a 04 gray chevy reg cab with 2 clam pro`s. Saturday there may be 3 pros in my truck ...trying to talk my fishing partner to come along too

Hard Ice · « **Reply #105 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 10:40 PM »

Yep always.... Has anybody heard from appledorns latley ?

Skipper · « **Reply #106 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 10:42 PM »

I will send him an email tomorrow. We did not get more than 2 inches of snow, so I assume his roads are still passable.

Hard Ice · « **Reply #107 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 10:48 PM »

How did you get so lucky to only get 2 inchs ?

Skipper · « **Reply #108 on:** Mar 11, 2009, 10:52 PM »

Jesus loves me!

Hard Ice · « **Reply #109 on:** Mar 12, 2009, 09:15 AM »

Sun glasses would be a good idea to - could be very bright out there - being snow blinded could make it hard to drive home......

Ug, ill post up what i find out tomarow after i call appledorns.

canoesota · « **Reply #116 on:** Mar 13, 2009, 01:27 PM »

Here is a link to local guide Tony Roach who fishes out of the area we are going to. Looks like 1/16th oz jigging spoons in gold or orange tipped with eurolarva. Tony was finding perch in 26-28' of water, and larger but scattered perch in 29-30' water along the gradual dropoffs, not the steep dropoffs. Driving conditons are good, but watchout for old snowdrifts, and ice heaves. Here is the link to Tony's weekly report posted yesterday.

Just talked to paul from appledorns. By saturday we should be able to drive any wheres with 4x4 trucks if you want to bring your wheeler its up to you but mines staying at home.

spearchucker · « **Reply #118 on:** Mar 13, 2009, 03:13 PM »

I'm in. I will be bringing me, myself and I. A buddy and I fished on Banana flats and 5 mile flats last weekend we drove on at Twin Pines on the west. You could drive anywhere with a 4x4 pickup then, thie ice was in great shape, about 30" . We couldn't find the jumbos, just a bunch of little guys. It was a good time though. I'm leaving the wheeler at home. We used red spikes and minnow heads on jigs, I heard gold and silver Kastmasters and buckshot spoons are the ticket for the big guys if you get on them.

Skipper · « **Reply #119 on:** Mar 13, 2009, 05:51 PM »

I sent Paul an email last night, and here is what he replied.

Erick,

As of two days ago they still were out deep.

I will be around Saturday a.m. and then will be out fishing.

We plowed our road yesterday for your gathering, so truck travel is still possible. If guys really want to be mobile, they should be wheelers or sleds.

Tom and I are bringing wheelers. My shack is heavy and I didnt pay five grand for a wheeler to leave it home.
