well it's that time to get up to the George for some pup's and ling and what ever want's to bit or just have a few drink's in between. We will be up there Friday morning and staying overnight on the ice

Had the same thought. Will be my first time up there. You see a group that hasn't a clue..... probably me. Good luck!

Welcome to the shanty DunnJ, the gorge can be alot to take in. Its a huge body of water and as most do, big lakers are the main target during the day and burbot at night. There are alot that like to target bows and pups but that gets old after a few years for sure. As with anything you dont know if you dont go, practice makes perfect and there's always trial and error. Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to do an overnighter this trip like the others but I will be doing a day trip friday for sure.

Well we had a great time fishing was a little slow but we got fish now I cannot wait to get back up there hopefully we will make it back up there the first of February

It was a great trip for the one day I got. More fish would have been a bonus but that's why it's fishing. Might be back sooner than expected

Well since the Cascade trip is delay a month due to ice conditions. I think another weekend at Anvil is the ticket. Jan 24th to 26th.

My dance card is empty on those dates.

My length of stay is still yet to be determined but I will get the sleeper out and at the ready

dubob · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 16, 2020, 05:51 PM »

The Villa Inn has heated rooms, comfortable beds, hot showers, microwave, and beer box. Works for me!

I'm in too! I'll need to come back Sat night, but will definitely be there early Friday morning to fish all day Friday and Saturday. Gotta' get me a big mac still....

DAMN! I just found out that there is a tournament on the Gorge the 24-26. There are NO motel rooms available in Manila. I guess I'll have to wait for a trip you guys make in February if that happens.

muskyon46 · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 18, 2020, 01:59 PM »

We'll be back that's for sure

fishonone · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 19, 2020, 04:11 PM »

Sorry to hear that there is no rooms available and I am positive we will be back. It looks like we will be leaving early Friday morning can’t wait to get there

fishonone · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 23, 2020, 08:32 AM »

ok it's time to get the trailer packed up for the weekend we will be heading out in the morning about 4:00am

dubob · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 23, 2020, 09:17 AM »

Best of luck to all y'all. I asked to be called if a room opened up, but did not get the call. I'll have to pass on this one. Maybe next time.

muskyon46 · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 23, 2020, 10:58 AM »

I'm ready to get going!!! looks like I'll be day tripping solo on this one. Got some new stuff to try out and I have a pretty good feeling this will be the trip for someone

fishonone · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 01, 2020, 09:56 AM »

Here are a few pictures from last weekend

And we are planning to go back up there next Friday till Saturday or Sunday. We are trying for the big boys hopefully we can get into them

muskyon46 · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 01, 2020, 11:02 AM »

Good pics, looking like I'll be in for atleast one overnighter this year

Looks like you'll be blinding some people at night with that new LED bar! Lol. Should make nighttime traveling much safer.

muskyon46 · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 02, 2020, 01:04 PM »

It will definitely do the job. Wired it up so when the switch is on low beam it's the stock light, high beam gets the big lights. My new rod rack block's the stock light, last trip out the stock light blew out also so it was an interesting ride back to the truck. I was watching the gps and my buddy was shining a flash light. I knew the ice was good where we were going but it still was creepy. Here's a couple more pics of the rack, auger, saw, light ect....

Hutbomber · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 02, 2020, 03:45 PM »

That's looks great Matt. Nice work! Let me know when I can bring up my wheeler I've got a few things I need done on it!

Bryce · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 02, 2020, 08:47 PM »

One of these ice seasons I need to get to the Gorge.

fishonone · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 05, 2020, 08:44 AM »

ok it's getting time to get my food together because I already have my bag packed from last time and my sleeper is read to go as well

dubob · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 05, 2020, 09:24 AM »

Nice, warm motel room with comfortable beds, shower, microwave, refrigerator and restaurants for food; my kind of trip Lawrence.

See you Friday AM.

That wouldn't be packed cause you forgot to change your clothes last trip would it?? I hear it really sucks when you forget your clothes bag at home and have to wear the same stuff all weekend
