an old work buddy owns the red log cabin on the island right across from Cedar Inn Resort. his name is Charlie Soden. he is from Chippewa. we used to camp there and fish. is the fishing still good?

2 years ago I did well both open water, and hard water.  Last year everything I caught was small, and fishing was slow.  Have not fished it this year.  There did seem to be a good year class of crappies that should be nice next year.

The only details we need are GPS coordinates, color of jig and bait used.  I think with that info you cant go wrong.

Share all the details you want, I'll just follow you to the walleyes.......  ;D

Where were you in PA. ? I've been in and out of the SE part a bit, pretty country with good fishing and hunting. Oh yeah, welcome to God's Country and The Shanty, good stuff here.
To fish or not to fish? That's a stupid question!

lets keep it going guys. we need a member base here in Wisconsin to equal some  of the other states. we will try and do a Wisconsin member get together again this year but we will try to organize it a little better than last year.

checking in from Fort Atkinson

Was up north bowhunting this past weekend and I have to cross a marsh area where there was open water last week.....3 inches of ice now. I almost went back to get my tip ups :tipup: :tipup: :tipup:

With the weather this week I am definitely taking some tip ups and jig rods to deer camp. One of our stands is only 40 yards from a flowage....sit in my stand waiting on a deer and watch tip ups....can't think of a better day.

Good luck to all of the hunters!!

Not yet...

A neighbor sold his house and gave me the shack. Roof was poorly made so I replaced it. Inside is gutted and I will be insulating this week. New wood stove going in as well. Won't have it done to "perfect" standards this year, just hustling to get it warm and workable for this year. I plan on reworking the inside next summer when there is more time!

Love that lake. Greg Bohn put me on it years ago when Palmer was too slushy to get out on. I dropped my camera down and was amazed as to how clear Carroll is. Millions of perch.

Hoping that the 'casters are wrong about the rain on Sunday...... Get a deer opening day and then fish the next week! This doesn't happen that often. I haven't heard anything about ice in NE Wisconsin yet, but may venture up near Crivitz if I get my deer early. Good luck out there and stay safe! Don't forget your ice picks this time of the year.

New member, long time lurker. After living in Wisconsin for 11 years I have finally pulled the trigger and begun acquiring ice fishing gear. Just picked up a frabill flip over ice house and plan to grab a marcum showdown and a nils auger. Seen that Mills has Black Betty combos for $25 on black Friday so I plan to grab a few of those. Plan to fish lake Menomin mostly but would love to hit those harbor trout!

Look forward to sharing my success and failures!
