3rd annual 1st Ice "Muskrat Love"event on Fish Lake SAT DEC 9th

[Surface Tension]

THOR6600. we'll start out at High Banks.

[Northlander]

Like Frank said we will start out from Highbanks Resort. Tim, the owner of Highbanks, has been a great sponsor of this event every year. Please get your bait, smokes, beverages from him. He also has good pizzas and awesome frozen steaks for the grill at a nice price. I get my New Yorks from him. Yummy!

Tim usually waves his accesss fee for us so support him in whatever ways you can.

Thor if you can keep us updated on the ice up there on Fish it would be great. That way I dont have to drive there or bother Tim all the time. Thanks.

[SKIPPERS KID]

Steve where is Hughbanks did tim change the name? I hope it was just a spelling muff on your part :

[Northlander]

Oh no you didnt! You of all people dont want to start in on me about spelling muffs do ya? Man I tel ya no respect. I caught it just before you posted but thanks smartapple!

Just for that all your going to see in Cheeseland is skunks and Bambi.

[Sportsmen58]

Inventory at work is the 2nd , What time will the contest be over maybe i can run up later. If not hope ya have good ice.

[Northlander]

We will be there til after dark. At least many of us will be. Probably stop into Hi-Banks and toss a few around there after we get off the ice.

[SKIPPERS KID]

I missed some thing what time is thing starting I might spend the knight up there if there is room. Well steve let me now time and see ya there.

[Northlander]

We will formally say it starts at 9am but people can go out whenever they want. I know some guys will want to be on the ice at sun up. We wont be waiting for people after 9am. It will be their responsability to find us after that.

We wont be hard to find.

Im still waiting for Tim to call me back about a cabin.

[SKIPPERS KID]

I will Take one if he hase room have him call me or I will call him .

[Ely Lake Expert]

First weekend of December, should I go pheasant hunting or fishing? hmmm

See you guys on the lake

[Northlander]

Ok guys I have a cabin for Friday Dec 1st night. Nice big one from what Tim said. I can get myself and at least 4 others in it maybe 5. 1st e-mail to me 1st serve. So far I think I have Ripstick and Skipperskid. Guys e-mail me if your in for sure.

[northernnels]

Northlander! I will be up for the Day. I hope there will be enough ice to use the wheeler. Hope to see you soon. also you have mail Nels

[Northlander]

Nels back at ya man.

[Northlander]

Looking at the weather forecast for the next week gets me wondering if we will have walkable ice. I sure hope we get some cold weather soon. We will keep this date until we get closer and if for some crazy reason we cant at least walk out we will go to the 9th.

In years past we were walking on Fish about Thanksgiving so Im asuming we will be ok. Cross your fingers.

[ReelTimes]

Northlander, I should be able to make it. I have xtra gear, sled or wheeler, and probably room if anyone else wants to fish or needs help getting out. Forecast is looking a little warm this week, though.

[ripstick]

Went by grand this afternoon. looks nice froze over . could be a sign. Who knows.

[Tom Linderholm]

Yep, even the Amnicon river was froze over around noon today. As long as the warmth lasts shortly during the day we should continue to make ice.

[SKIPPERS KID]

I hope there is ICE to go the temps do not look good I will pray for cold wether even if I am still Hunting we will see you there even if we have to stay at Tim's and bend the elbow's All knight I will be there .

[Northlander]

Ya these temps arent helping us any. We may be moving it back to the 9th at this speed.

[SKIPPERS KID]

Steve we may have to pull the boat back out for this?

[Surface Tension]

I'm not discourage yet. Temps are going to drop after this week.

[Wade Joseph]

My boat is still ready to go JUST IN CASE

[SKIPPERS KID]

I think I will buy a hover craft this will float on land and H2O It would be great for slush thin ICE .

[Quickstrike]

I went and checked ice yesterday and fish had about an inch of good ice and rice had about inches.

[LoonASea]

I broke the ice at Pike lake today ,,,there was about 1 1/2 inches of ice at noon ,,who knows what the sun is doing to it ,,I just hope the forecasters are right and it gets cold next week

[elevatorguy]

If we have ice I should be able to sneak out and fish for awhile. I also have a wheeler and a sled if needed if we have enough ice.

[ripstick]

House will be up and running this weekend. Now for the ice and some fun. Might have to bring life jacket but what the heck

[SKIPPERS KID]

[Big Country]

I can tell you this. I don't believe Grand will be ready for a while. Before the warm temps. it looked nice and clear black. Went there this a.m. on the wheeler to give the lab a run. Ice was white (not good) and I broke through every where I tried to step on all around the edges. BC
