Cool, I wanna win something this year,  all I could catch last year was 4-6" perch.  I switched to 4" minnow and they were still hitting it.  Need to do a little more research on the lake.

Do you have a problem with me just sending my check to Goody, or does it need to go through you first?<grin>.

[goody]

LOL!  As if...I just got lucky.  I will be lucky to weigh a fish next year.

My only hope is that I can throw a couple of jigs on the scale.  Because zero fish weight nothing. I am looking to fish this just to meet the people and have fun. I did catch some nice gills on Spirit in March.  They were bigger than anything we see down here.  It would be nice to have them show up for the tournament.

Hey you Iowa people!!  Any ice out there yet??  Thought I'd stick something in the Iowa section as its a little slow out there.  Give a report of the first sighted skim Ice you see pond or lake.  I just got the itch.

Hey Oldbear.  Man, I'm getting the itch too.  I've been out in the boat marking spots on the gps.  I hope it pays off.  Good fishing!

[Oldbear]

I marked one of my brush piles at a local lake with a 20lb navy anchor and about 13' of anchor rope.  Should of put a buoy on it so I could find it this winter. Lost an anchor and a wheel bearing on the trailer this week.

Almost ready, adding LED lighting system to the portable. Should have it done in a couple weeks Then I'll be ready for it to ice up

Hey walleyes4U, do you ever ice fish Sweets?  Used to years ago and did real well.  Never hear of any reports from there anymore.

Yes, we fish it. Early ice is usually the best time. There is one spot that the dike broke a few years back and it washed a deep hole in that spot. The crappie's head for that area at first ice.

After reviewing my posts for the past 2 seasons 05-07.  December 2nd Is the exact day I make it out on the ice.  Im marking it on my calendar and counting down the days......... 

Hopefully the winter forecast is correct and we'll have Normal to Below Normal temps this winter.

First time posting to this sight , but I'm with all of you can't wait. last Sunday put all the gear together and cleaned up the frabil solo for the season. I haven't fished very many lakes but I am partial to Beeds Lake

Can't wait for first Ice.

[Oldbear]

Beeds is a good little lake.  We've had several small group get togethers there.  Don't see where your from but probably close to it.  I'll keep you in mind when I head up there.

Just updated profile, I do fish beeds alot I have fished Hendricks at Riceville but haven't done very well.
