Let's have a get together or two!!!
« on: Dec 05, 2013, 11:35 AM »
Let's break the ice on the board and have us a good old fashion meet and greet.  Let's be friends and not internet names!  Is there interest?  We could do several as to get people in the same area's together and do some fishing and BSing.  Maybe even do a group trip to a destination type lake (Fort Peck, Nelson, Devils Lake, ect) where we could all go fish multiple days together.

I'm game, are you?

Depends if I have money at the time. I have family in Grand Forks and like to fish Devil's Lake and LoW.

Sounds good Jay, let us know when you're in the Billings area.  Even if we can't get a weekend trip planned maybe a beer and a burger somewhere.

I could potentially make this one...never done very good through the ice at Swan...but I'm probably holding the maggots in the wrong cheek!

Please keep me posted as to dates!

Depending on work and funds I might try and make this one as well but I can't confirm until time is much closer. Keep me posted.

Devils Lake trip certainly. A couple of us were going to go last Feb but there was a huge amount of snow on four feet plus of ice. As it turns out we could have ice fished there until mid April. The way this winter is starting that auger extension and tracks may be a must again this year. The best fishing there always seems to be early and late in the season. January trips are often a bust.

In my opinion December is THE month to be on Devils Lake.  I also did really good on Nelson in December.  If we have good ice on Fort Peck in December I can only imagine what the fishing would be like!  Cold enough to drive trucks on Fort Peck?  Hell Creek here I come!

I'd love to fish Swan for the first time.  I will be chasing big fish when ever I can in Eastern Montana.

My best fishing on Devils has always been late March, but yes first ice is great as well. Before the lake got so big (1980's) we could hit Ziebach Pass and fish five feet of water through three feet of ice and wreck perch, pike and walleye. Never quite figured out where those white bass went in the winter.

Driving on Peck again (finally) would be great...but always iffy with it's methane and ridges. I think I'll stick with the quad or stay within Hell Creek Bay. Hopefully the walleyes will come in a bit earlier this winter.

Any Billings people want to meet up to hit something tomorrow or weekend? I am thinking TRR or Sutherlin. Got all the gear, auger, shack, heater, sonar, tackle, but my 4 wheel drive is out.
