Lets see who is coming! I will be there with both shacks and will make sure we have plenty of places plowed off to fish! That should make it easy for people to get around on the ice.

Sweet!  I will be there, how much ice you got there?

Just a suggestion I live on N. County it's dirt and a rough ride, 69 to Hinckley Hill is paved and smoother and not much longer. If you don't have stuff secure you could lose some stuff. The hound and I find a lot of hub caps tools even found a bait bucket once. Watch out for Mike the muskrat  ;D he lives down there too.  ;)  Forget what I said I need a pack basket as my son had commandeered mine.

Thinking about coming.  Never caught a crappie.  You guys put out traps also for bass, etc.. or just concentrate on the crappie?

I went out this afternoon to plow out my shack and it seems as though the only place on the west end of the pond that SnoPro didn't plow is right in front of my shack. 

There'll be plenty of room for parking on the pond, I'd say.

I should also thank SnoPro for plowing.  I don't think that my little truck would have made it out to my shack if you hadn't cleared most of the way.

Thanks.

I'm in the one that was built without taking into account the weight.  It's not far from your jigging shack--a bit closer to the landing.  It's the one with the red vinyl siding and the big window.  I'll be by your set-up to visit on Sunday.  If you're out tomorrow, feel free to stop by; I'll be out there most of the day.
