Yo Coach. I am still holding your gift certificate from last years team tournament. I am leaving for GP now. or will catch up with you soon.
Hey guys, it was lonely out there at GP yesterday. Got there late 10 AM, not a soul in site. My brother and I were a bit leery and spudded and cut holes all the way out. I will in short say the ice conditions report is on the appropriate page . Most places however were 4 "s with 3"s of dense corn snow over 1" of hard ice . Not the best, nor the bite , but the Clam with new heater made the day tolerable. The food and drink made the day tolerable if not the fishing. The further we got out the worse the ice got , so don't even think of putting a machine on that ice yet. even if the ice looks like it is 8"s off the piers it gets thin fast. My brother and I ate well had few fishermen for company, only 5 other guys showed for the entire day (we left the ice @3:40). Again, stopping at the Wig-Wam, not a car in the parking lot and no fishermen or huts seen on the Pond major likewise at the Elms, further , the Elms had not plowed the parking area. I will not post conditions on the pond till I cut some ice myself. Cusefan and I will tackle that tomorrow and spud our way out. Maybe the rumor of bad ice has kept every one from the pond or maybe the last day of hunting, not sure which . Tight lines to all.
Coach, Are you delusional? DD and I have this team tournament in the bag, but grateful for your contribution to the cause. Hey, we have to have team names. Eddie and I are going to keep the same team name from last year "TEAM FIRST PLACE", prophetic eh?
Looking forward to it my friend!! Partner all set!! --KP Hey Coach....I'm rolling and laughing as hard as Donald Duck from that post of yours...You and HT....
I didn't hear any team names yet. You got to have a team name. Come on, give it some thought. Make it clever. You must have soime fun with the name to make up for the sadness when DD and I spend your money.
Ace 94mp, We couldn't tell if those were made that morning or the previous day, they were already frozen over. Did you catch anything?
KP and Fillet..... Coach and H.T I'll call you when Jimmy and I are done again so you can get a few
do you want kp and I to save a spot at the table for breakfast or just go ahead and cash in ,can't see fishing past coffee time
HT you guys mean team smurfettes don't you
hey KP , DD has to warm his jig stick up at his age , whats up with that
I am still looking for that first ice check on the pond. I will not make it out today. Anyone been out there today? Would like to know how it is out of Wig-Wam ramp before I waste my 7 bucks.
Eddie, help they are wearing me down.
Just wave the white flag when you two have had enough!
