Just got approved for the day off I’ll be there. I went with one of my buds in the past and met a bunch of the ice shanty members and it was a great time.  Had fun joking around had some good food and even learned a few things from fellow members. Looking forward to a great day on the ice again.

  Good job.  See ya Sat.

Will anyone get eyes on the cove at some point today?  Looking for info on the edges/ is a plank needed to gain access?

There is already one plank there.  I'm going to stop by shortly and look things over but I'm not concerned about it.  River fluctuation is always an issue there however.

I just came back from the cove.  The put on is broken up but a short 3 foot plank on gets you there safely.  The water was very high this afternoon but no telling where it will be in the morning.  Currently the safest place  to get on is on the right hand side of the put on so that is where I would try first in the morning.

While out there I ran in to a fellow who is a friend of Spanky's and he said that Spanky, Sis and a couple of others are winging their way West as I type and will be staying at the King Phillips tonight and joining us in the morning!  Good to have you back Spankster!

BTW I measured about 11 inches of ice at an old trapping hole.

Looks like I won’t be getting out of work till closer to 5:00 so I’ll be popping by on my way home to see if anyone’s still at it.
Hope a good time is being had and the pike streak continues!

A great day for a gathering but a terrible day for fishing!  I have never seen the cove so slow in my life.  Only a few fish caught here and there and for the first time in 13 years, no pike :( .  But hey, it was great to see every one.  We had people from as far away as Rhode Island and China come to fish with us and it was a great time had by all!!!

Hi Alan, hope all is good, sorry to have missed you for a couple of years.

I don't know the ice by the river, but I got around 10" or so in the center of the cove.

Be well good sir!

He pops up on the big social media site from time to time. I'll rattle his cage and see what happens. Last post was 4 days ago.

Maybe it's time to start a new yearly gathering at a better place.  NEVER liked the access and the water levels fluctuating so much daily.

Just a thought.
