Just the one word Ice and I shook a bunch of you out of the bushes. Welcome to the site Redman it will get busy again pretty soon around here. CrappieBuster when it gets around to it keep them good Clear Lake reports coming and that goes the same for you Catchaser over at DW.

Ed I'll see you at Brushy Creek a week from tomorrow.

thanks for welcome old bear i found this site this past winter just been evesdropping till now this site is awesome when the ice is in full swing 8)

Won't be long now till there's frost on the windshield then ice on the lake.

The crappies have been averaging 9 1/2 inches here this year. Took my heaviest average of the year last weekend. Only 11 fish but all between 10 and 12 inches. I hate the cold weather but if I get the time to build my home away from home it'll be a sweet winter.

Welcome Redman.

Yep, I am very anxious for this years ice season to begin... can't be soon enough for me too... I keep looking for the ice fishing supplies to come out in the stores, nothing yet in the stores up here though

goody · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 14, 2007, 01:45 PM »

Mills Fleet ALWAYS has ice fishing stuff out, at least on an end cap somewhere

I need a new ice shack so I can ad mods to it....I think my one man flip up is jacked out enough that I cant add anything else to it!

Yeah i can't wait till the first ice hits!!!!!!! Hopefully it will be a much longer hard water season this year! Just turned 16 this summer

got a new truck for my birthday, got 2 jobs to save up money for gas and a new auger and just can't wait. Good fishing and tight lines!!!!!!!! PS any tips from the seasoned pros would be greatly appreciated and willing to travel to fish the hot spots!

Goody, then we'll have to start calling you Munchy Jr.

Hey Goody, have you heard if Ryan Hale is having the tournament again this year?

goody · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 19, 2007, 09:51 PM »

Yup, he sure is...just sent my entry form in earlier this week! If you go to his site there is a post about it on the front page. Or, drop him an email and ask him to send you an entry form. I know he also has some entry forms at the Shuck's if you are over that direction.

Yes he is. It is Jan. 6, 2008 8:00am - 2:00pm. $40 entry fee

J_Jaacks · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 07:58 PM »

Emailed Ryan and he is sending me the registration form. All his rooms are filled though. That was a bummer. Will have to look at something else. Maybe we will just drive up for the day too.

I'm assuming Ryan is having the mandetory rules meeting on Saturday night, so it may be in your best interest to find a place to stay otherwise you will be driving up twice.

J_Jaacks · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 21, 2007, 11:51 PM »

Alright, I think I have a plan. I can stay at a Holiday Inn Express and maybe it will make me a better fisherman. Then I would have a chance at least.

ducky · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 23, 2007, 10:22 AM »

What is Ryans Website?

J_Jaacks · « **Reply #26 on:** Sep 23, 2007, 10:29 AM »

Here is the resort one.

If you click on the guide button and then the Ryan's hom page you get this one.

I am not sure which one you were looking for.

Don't look now, but you're already there. Compare the inside of your shack with the inside of mine. Yours has a plywwod floor and compartments for everything. Mine has a pile of ice-fishing gear. Maybe YOU'RE the original Munchy?? Goody, you're my HERO!!! LOL!

Mr. Pot this is Mr. Kettle. Don't look now, but you're black.
