I decided to load the snowmobile up last minute. Heading out in the morning. Look forward to sending you guys some good pictures! Be safe everyone and looking forward to seeing you guys very soon!

Hope you have a great trip over there and that you will be safe. I'm probably the only one in Israel interested in ice fishing reports! Lol.

Oh yes im sure of that, wouldnt be much of a market over there on ice gear. But if there was the sales and clearence sections would be a blast. Be safe and get back state side so we can get a line in the water Glen. We're lookig at being up your way to fish with joe around the 1st weekend in march

Ok so 1st on ice report has 2in in the west marina (kiddie pool) which is weird, 7-8in in the east marina, 8in on the main lake out of the east marina. The pressure ridge out of the east marina has been broke down and should freeze up well by Thursday. Snowmobiles can make it over no prob. The beach access we used last year of course has some docks in the way that we may be able to move like last year for wheeler access. If we can't move the docks the only access will be across the ridge out of the east marina so some planks will be needed. More to come

Our top notch scout (Joe) is safe and sound. He's arrived and is setting up for the night and said he'll send some more reports as needed.

Glad to hear that Joe is there and safe. I will throw some plywood in to use if needed to get across the ridge. I plan to head up on Wednesday morning if I can wait that long.

That will work Gale bring what you can, from what I got we should have no prob pushing the dock a little to make room to get thru over to the beach area. Will probably have to do it Friday morning though. Trying to do it after dark when we more than likely will get there might not work. Sky has a new to him winch on his bike he's ready to try out

prospector · « **Reply #128 on:** Nov 27, 2018, 09:31 AM »

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. I caught a few small fish in the tent this morning, but they are nothing to write home about to mom. I got my jaw Jackers out and just waiting for the bell’s now! I will keep you guys posted. The pressure Ridge that I knocked down yesterday looks to have frozen pretty good last night. Not sure I would take a four wheeler over it yet, but it should be good by the time you pencil pushers get here.

muskyon46 · « **Reply #129 on:** Nov 27, 2018, 11:18 AM »

wo! wo! slow down for a min. Some of us are more of the technical keyboard typer types, people still use pencils???

prospector · « **Reply #130 on:** Nov 27, 2018, 05:57 PM »

Finally getting the fish dialed in. This afternoon was pretty good jigging in a tent. Jaw Jackers have been slow. Tomorrow I will bring another tent out to a new spot and see what that produces. They are all over the screen right now, but just don’t want to commit. Very frustrating! Hopefully in a couple of days they will get out of their slump. I think it is time to retire the Barbie Rods. I lost a couple of five pounders at the hole today. Just not enough to drive the hook home I’m afraid.

Hutbomber · « **Reply #131 on:** Nov 27, 2018, 07:23 PM »

Thanks Joe for the report. Hopfully tomorrow those 5LBs come up and on the ice. I think we can see your tent on the camara.

fishonone · « **Reply #132 on:** Nov 28, 2018, 05:02 AM »

That’s to bad Barbie didn’t work out for you maybe you should have gotten Barney lol

hopefully things get better today and Matt showed me your chair and all I can say is nice

muskyon46 · « **Reply #133 on:** Nov 28, 2018, 07:40 AM »

Well thats to bad the pink had to stink for you joe, not the 1st time thats happened to some of us that have been around the block a few times

couldnt help showing the comfy living room you had set up with the firepit, roasting dogs, kicking it in the lazy boy reading a good book

Good stuff. Hope the hooking is better in the new spot today. Looking at the cam this morning it did snow a little last night by whats sitting on the old gas pump

prospector · « **Reply #134 on:** Nov 28, 2018, 10:45 AM »

Just thought I better give you guys a snow report. Might’ve gotten about 6 to 8 inches last night. Probably more like six. Right now there is between 10 inches and a foot of snow on the ice. For wheelers or sleds should be fine. Had good luck with fish this morning. Still catching some brookies which is surprising to me over here. Nothing of any size today yet. Catching them on some of my homemade presentations! To whoever is traveling today, stay safe! Ryan is coming up and will be there in a couple of hours. Not sure when Geezer is supposed to be here? Anyone else coming today?

muskyon46 · « **Reply #135 on:** Nov 28, 2018, 10:56 AM »

Thats about what I was guessing was on the old gas pump there this morning. Looks like your making tracks over that ridge really good now that you got it stiffened up. Crazy the small brooks are in there. maybe I'll check one off the bucket list this year. LOL. Good to hear your homemade stuff is working cause I've got plenty of rods to load them up on. To my knowledge just Ryan was traveling today then the biggest group tomorrow and the rest on friday. I'll give you a call after i'm opff and see how its going. Be safe and leave some fish for the rest of us dang it

prospector · « **Reply #136 on:** Nov 28, 2018, 10:28 PM »

Today was a great one! Fished with one rod because I was lazy, but it ended up working out just fine. The fish came in three different waves. The first was about 830 in the morning for an hour and a half. The second was right about 1130 until 2 o’clock. The third was from about four to 7:00 PM. The biggest thing for me today was a good rod with a sensitive tip because they were lite biters. Most fish work Caught without bait on plastics that I have made. Yellow and pink were hot colors As was Glow. I only caught one fish over 25 inches but there were some pretty good ones as well as quite a few small Brooke trout and cutthroat. Ryan and Gail both made it safe. Ryan caught quite a few fish tonight. You guys be careful driving up tomorrow and the next day! Looking forward very much to seeing you all again. We moved some of the docks that were in the way and getting machines on and off the ice won’t be a problem. Both snowmobiles and four wheelers will be fine. There is quite a bit of water under the snow on the ice especially in some areas. Might be a good idea to check the ice as conditions warrant.

Great update Joe, nice to have you there figuring things out for us... 25" is a dang nice fish.... So stay safe and we'll see ya soon... Had a bunch of snow over Sardine tonight, so I think Thursday Friday may be a fun drive, but we'll leave early so we have time to get there safe... You using your camera, or fish finders to tell what's going on? See ya soon... J

Geezer_ · « **Reply #138 on:** Nov 28, 2018, 11:01 PM »

The drive up was pretty good not much more than wet roads. Going to get cold tonight , watch for ice. Drive carefully and see you up here.

Thanks guys we’ll see everyone later today and leave some fish for me

prospector · « **Reply #140 on:** Nov 29, 2018, 06:02 AM »

I haven’t used my cameras yet. Just a fishfinder. Safe travels Boys!

prospector · « **Reply #141 on:** Nov 29, 2018, 07:08 AM »

From about 515 to 6 o’clock this morning I have seen seven fish on the ice. Ryan is learning the struggles of having slept in a nice cozy tent on the ice! I’m not sure he’s even out of bed yet. LOL Gail just showed up and hopefully he will get the fish turned on as well. I’m fishing with the 1/8 ounce yellow plastic that I call a cutthroat combo. Knocking them dead! Hurry up Boys, I need reinforcements quick!

muskyon46 · « **Reply #142 on:** Nov 29, 2018, 09:54 AM »

They're not making it any easier waiting to get on the road. Sorry ryan had to show off the beauty you got this morning. See you guys soon

OK...safely back home from fantastic trip to Henry's. Thanks for all the great times to those that made it, and hope more can join the pilgrimage next year.

Caught a huge fish that would have smoked the competition...but caught it the day before it was eligible. Congrats to SlapTheFish for taking home the $$ pot with a win by catching another lunker Saturday. Fun times for sure. Also got to take the new sleeper flip-over and the new to me quad for their maiden voyages and am very happy with both. Will make a few small tweaks to the flip over in prep for sleeping at the Gorge.

Looking forward to the other pics from the gang when they get home tomorrow, but here are are few of mine.

Thurs afternoon shortly after arriving.

Friday Morning

Friday Afternoon...had to squeeze it a bit to get through the hole then into the measure box that BFTSkunkedAgain helped me measure it in. Glad he was there to witness it too so that the world can know it wasn't just another "fish story". released her back for someone else to catch later.

Snapped this pic Sunday morning...it was a bit cold but the quad started right up...

Couple of the dozens caught on Prospector's homemade jigs

Damon, hey words and the pictures can't describe the beauty of that fish, I was so lucky to be there and see that thing fighting down under the ice, what a monster fish it was... I always heard an 8" hole is big enough for anything.... Not so sure about that anymore since you had to squeeze that fish through the hole to get it out... What a beauty... What a great trip too, I thoroughly enjoyed it again this year, just sorry I missed the show of checking out everyone's modifications, seems I dropped the line in and fish started biting right off the bat, I ended up so busy catching fish that I didn't get to see many of the cool mods and work everyone had been doing... Biggest regret of the trip, but I sure had fun catching fish and those jigging jaw jackers seemed to work pretty well. Although most of the fish I caught was off the active rod I was jigging myself, the jjj's did pretty well too... Very fun trip and weather worked out okay as well... Thanks everyone and enjoyed the visits... Later J

Great weekend everyone, thanks to all that came and made some good memories. I'll get some pics up tomorrow

Wow wow what a trip it was great to see everyone and what a way to start our ice fishing season here are a few pic

Geezer_ · « **Reply #149 on:** Dec 03, 2018, 08:50 PM »

Thanks to everyone for all the help and great times. This trip really was a fantastic one . Was personably my best for catching fish, lots of planters and even a couple of big ones. Congratulations to Slap the Fish for winning the pot! And to Damon for that beautiful lunker of his. Thanks to Joe for all the great plastics he passed out ( they catch fish ) and Matt thanks for the book of pictures it’s a real treasure. Hope to see you all at the Gorge!
