Sorry but the event is cancelled due to deep snow with no access the fishing spots. Mark your calendars for March 2nd. Usually from sunrise to whenever. I will wait to post a location closer to the date. The kitties are getting slammed this winter on the chain so we will try to find some less pressured fish for everyone. Ice is coming along with a fair amount of truck traffic on the chain.- 64 replies

St Cloud Area Get Together 2017 - Fishing Reports
Borch posted a topic in St Cloud Area Fishing Reports - Hunting - Events
St Cloud Get Together 2/25/17, 8:00 am until you want to leave The St Cloud Get Together will be on Horseshoe Lake near Richmond. The event will be held near a spot called the Meth Hole. The area gets this name from the methane gas bubbles that sometimes leaves a small hole in the ice. As of today the ice conditions appear to be adequate. The Meth Hole area is well known for a great place to catch channel catfish through the ice. What you may not know is that it is also and excellent spot for catch crappies, walleyes and the infamous party crappie,(rock bass). Channel cats can be caught on the same gear you use for crappies or walleyes. Those targeting cats often use pieces of minnows, chicken liver or live minnows. These baits can be fish under a sensitive bobber or jigged on a small jigging spoon. Despite there size, channel cats can be very light biters so take that into account. Crappies can be caught on the usual crappie techniques, including plastics. So if cats aren't your thing there still the crappies or walleyes to target. As the name implies, this event is mostly for fun. It's a great way to meet others from the forum, tell stories, share techniques and maybe even a few fishing spots. There will be a potluck about noon. The plan is to have a fish fry with any donated catfish, crappies or walleyes from the morning. If folks could pack a fillet knife and a fish cleaning board that would be great. Also storing fish so they don't freeze makes the cleaning process so much easier. Bring a dish to pass. This is a family friendly event so bring the whole family! I will have some fishing goodies for the kids. We will need to monitor ice conditions as it's been a weird winter so far. Given the current ice thickness it is important that vehicles are spread out a bit. Try to avoid parking 3-4 vehicles right next to each other. Know what your vehicle and fishhouse needs for ice based on it's weight. Horseshoe Lake is south of Richmond MN on CR 22. There is a public access about 1 mile south of Hwy 23. DO NOT USE this access as it sits on the river and is a high current area. Instead use the winter access further south(see on map). I look forwards to seeing you all there!- 14 replies

St Cloud Get Together 1/30/16, 8:00 am until you want to leave When after all of your feedback the St Cloud Get Together will be on Horseshoe Lake near Richmond. The event will be held near a spot call the Meth Hole. The area gets this name from the methane gas bubbles that sometimes leaves a small hole in the ice. Today the ice conditions where checked again and found to be 14-15" of good ice between the winter access and the gathering area. Thanks Don and Rick.

Crappies can be caught on the usual crappie techniques, including plastics. We caught a lot of crappies last year along with the cats. So if cats aren't your thing there still the crappies or walleyes to target. With the late ice this winter there hasn't been a lot of people fishing this area. So fishing could be really good.
