Russians are cheap, lol
no, i never fished with tipups and always jig so i tend to move from spot to spot until i find fish, and it seems like its hard to do that with tip ups, once you set them, you're kind of glued to that area. so i bought one just to see how it is.

nitzer · « **Reply #301 on:** Feb 22, 2012, 01:11 PM »

not if you set them further apart......if u want to cover water to find fish, set them up a good distance from each other. i like to do a line. then whatever flag or flags is consistently going up, i start relocating and setting up by them

jimmyclaude · « **Reply #302 on:** Feb 22, 2012, 03:39 PM »

If you are going for salmon .... ya need to set them tipups pretty far cause they will tangle em all up when they run.

roundlakeNY · « **Reply #303 on:** Feb 22, 2012, 03:58 PM »

I ahd a pike do that this season I had one flag fly when i got to it the other one flew up then the next one. Let's just say its a real mess.

RussianBear · « **Reply #304 on:** Feb 22, 2012, 04:01 PM »

so the lesson here, dont put too much line on the spool, this way they cant run far

roundlakeNY · « **Reply #305 on:** Feb 22, 2012, 06:47 PM »

Lol something like that.

A lantern and a decent headlamp are key.
I have a 4 man cube and a buddy heater that I've stayed out in before. Just be sure to stake all those hubs down good. Bought a fold up cot for $50 at Wally world tonight. It's going to make a world of difference if I try to actually catch some zzz's, but I don't see this thing lasting 10 trips.It's junk. I do have an extra 5x5 Clam portable I could bring if someone wants to use it for the day.

if you are talking about the ozark trail one it is cheaper, but it is great for ice camping. It may last longera bit longer than 10 uses though.

Any report on how thick the ice is? Is it safe for ATV's for this weekend?

Well, congrats are definitely in order.
I feel for you man. One of those things you hate to admit, you'd probably rather go fishing.
We'll meet up another time for sure.

roundlakeNY · « **Reply #310 on:** Feb 23, 2012, 08:26 AM »

Look's like we will have a little of the white stuff on the ground for the gathering. Should i bring the taboggan so we can have races down the hill next to the launch.

nitzer · « **Reply #311 on:** Feb 23, 2012, 08:39 AM »

YES!!!!!!!!

Thank you. its our first. Its a miracle we're even having one. My wife is a 4 time brain cancer survivor and the doctors told her the chances of her having kids was very low.

I have a 6 month old girl and I too enjoy every minute...well...most minutes anyhow. Funny.....really funny once they hit that laugh at everything stage. Good stuff though.

15??? Mine did that at 12!!! They are all grown and the 30 year old just last year was amazed how smart I have gotten lately. He no longer knows it all. The other three, can't wait until they turn 29! LOL.
CONGRATS, ROY!

RussianBear · « **Reply #322 on:** Feb 23, 2012, 04:34 PM »

question, a serious one.
so i am still not sure whether i am going but if i will go, i am thinking to go friday after work and get there by 12am or so. is there anyone that is planning to be there friday/saturday and fish at night?

afwrestler1986 · « **Reply #323 on:** Feb 23, 2012, 05:04 PM »

I am planning on leaving after work friday and overnighting friday night and saturday night. I will likely be the only shack out there so I will be hard to miss. Big red eskimo hub shack. If you are going to be there let me know. I also have a few extra tipups for you to use if you would like.

combsey · « **Reply #324 on:** Feb 23, 2012, 05:38 PM »

Fished there today and it was slow. We ( me,bluemountainlaker, and beaver1080) fished in the deep hole. Marked fish but no takers on the jiggs. There was 13 to 15 inches and wheelers on the lake today. Should of brought mine it would of saved a long walk

If all goes well, I'll be there mid day, friday. Look for the black Eskimo Ice Cube shanty and the ATV with tracks (instead of wheels).

See my response to Russian Bear. I don't know the lake. Where are you planning to set up, so I can be somewhere near ya?

Hardwaternubie53 · « **Reply #327 on:** Feb 23, 2012, 07:54 PM »

Forgot to mention: Since some folks are arriving after dark, look for red and green (small) lights and glow sticks. I put them on my shanty and ATV to keep from getting run over in the dark by sleds. My shanty is black and hard to spot after sunset otherwise.

afwrestler1986 · « **Reply #328 on:** Feb 23, 2012, 08:29 PM »

I dont really know the lake either, but I do have navionics on my phone. i figured we could set up in close to 40 foot of water. I do see that if we go about a half mile NE of the boat launch, we have an area that covers from about 20' to 140' in about .2 miles. Up to you guys though.

I thought the same thing. That way I can do some perching when I get frustrated with the lakers.
