Gale i hope everything heals up good with you and I see you on the hard deck soon. I've been mentioning this season I've had some stuff going on since September now missing a few lymph nodes and it turned out to be classic Hodgkins lymphoma cancer, going on my 7th chemo treatment yesterday and i have 1 more to go. The good news is it went into remission after my 4th treatment and I'll be honest its been different life event for sure at 50 or at age at that.. It's been a kick in the ass 100% and my winter beard sucks, but I'm getting thru it. Probably won't be camping till the end of January if im lucky. So day trips for me for now. Looking forward to seeing all guys on the ice at FG
-
You guys are killing me. I have a funeral down there on the 29th in Salt Lake. Might have to sneak by and say hello on my way home if there’s room. Good to see you guys are all doing well. Matt I’m glad that you are on the mend. No fun for sure.

Sounds good sorry to hear about the funeral and I am think we will going down road 11and head south on the ice
-
If I can add in my two cents, I would head elsewhere than south on road 11. It appears the fish have moved out of there. I don’t know why this happens but it seems to every year. We went from a 30 fish day between 2 people to 8 fish between 10 people. I’ve heard of 6” of ice south of buckboard but hard to tell as I’m currently in the Virgin Islands, sipping on bud light, on the patio in the 80 degrees evening weather ;) . Regardless, if you guys want to make that a base camp, it’s not a bad idea…but I think it will be slow fishing. Gotta follow that ice line south for best results!

Well it's looking like I'm finally gonna get a gorge camp trip in this season next weekend while wrapping up taking care of this cancer crap and my energy is up. Weather's looking to be just how I like it, down right COLD! Going to be a busy week getting stuff ready as we may pull out on Thursday for a long ice camp weekend.

Good to hear brother. Enjoy!
-
Thx Joe it's definitely been a journey I wouldn't wish on anyone and I'm so thankful my body responded good to the treatments. Still got 3wks of radiation to do starting Feb 6th but that should be no prob compared to the 4 months of chemo :thumbsup:
-
Good on you buddy. :tipup:
-
Sounds like you are in good spirits Matt , you guys have a fun safe trip .

Matt, good to hear that you are getting some strength back after months of chemo. I will continue to pray for you that the Lord would grant you a complete recovery and healing. God bless.
-
Gale, Glen, thank you both. If you guys can make it to the gorge this season it is the year to explore South for a minute with the current temps we're having. Pretty sure we'll be riding out of anvil or further south.
-
Great to hear! I’ll be around ;D
-
For sure trent. Someone from my office will be in touch ;) Keep the fires warm over there wth this cold front :icefish:
-
HAHA! You got it!
-

hey when did you get an office yes it will be great to get this old man up there on a camping trip can't wait to leave on Thu afternoon

Sorry this post made it up so late but we had a great trip last weekend. Fished on over a foot of ice everywhere we went in anvil area and south. Had 2 big boys come off out deep right at the ice for lawerence and sky. In camp we had a 28in & a 26in pup and a 29in burbot. The only fish I had on the ice was a small burbot in camp. Apparently I was using my anti fish gear :-\ but that's why it's called fishing. Looking to be back up next weekend and will more than likely be fishing further south around swim Beach with everyone else looking for the big boys. Also heading to Bear Lake tomorrow to see what we can get on a quick day trip.
-
Sounds like a good trip- I will be heading that way soon I hope-Good year for ice that far south- I heard that Bear Lake has really slowed down- I missed that opportunity-darn
-
well it's time to get out stuff ready for this weekend for another camping trip can't wait to fish this far down we will be leaving Fri morning by9:00
-
You guys are killing me! If I fish, it will be viva naughton derby most likely! Luckily we will have ice until may so I’ll catch you guys on the ice one of these trips!
-
Good luck at the derby trent. Hopefully we'll get a big one top side this time

well good luck on the derby and hopefully we will be sending you some pic's and ya one of these trip will meet up lol
-
I don’t THINK I’m going to fish the derby. My mind is about 60% made up 😂 so if I’m around I’ll call from the bank for somebody to come get me 😂 . We just moved and I just can’t see going to a fishing derby when I have so much to organize at the house.
-
I don’t like moving but just let us know and we can grab you at anytime
-
Looks like we're going to make it back up to swim Beach area this weekend. Last trip was a big skunk for a few of us. Marked plenty but couldn't connect. Hoping that changes this weekend ??? Anyone else getting out?
-
I am going to be out somewhere but don't know where. You guys want to swing up here and fish the Fremont Derby?
-
Taking 12 boys from the neighborhood to East Canyon tomorrow. Good luck at the Gorge.
-
Fished swim Beach /Stateline area Thursday to Saturday. We camped in 25fow and had few burb caught. Nothing big in size or #'s though. While I was fishing deep water 105ft I was finally able to connect with what we've been chasing. It came in at 41.5in and 25lbs. Beat my personal best by 5in and easily 6lbs+

Way to go Matt on that big laker! Always nice to hook into a big one, especially after a few years of trying to get another big one. Looks like it has been a good year for ice on the Gorge.
-
Thx Glen, it has been a good year for southern ice on the gorge for sure. Already planning where we're going next for the St.Patricks weekend.
-
So happy for you dude!!
-
Very cool, Matt! Congrats!
Wish I could have been there. Still looking to get over before the weather turns warm.
-
Thx guys. We're looking to head back up next Thursday or Friday weather pending on our departure.
