Blueport is not Blueport anymore, it is back to the old name The Casteway... Ice seams to be varying from place to place alot like anywhere from 7 to 12. I have not saw anyone driving out over there, and I wouldnt right now. I have been catching fish but not over there as most of the time they are alittle too small but a few keepers here and there. Waterfowl kid who are you? I live right by lincoln and fish alot... I will be on the ice everynight this week!

sorry scotty but i have not fished since sunday. this week has been very hectic to say the least in school. i am planning on leaving school at noon on friday to try and catch some crappies on alex. i really want to go for walleyes but i don't have a wheeler or snomobile so i either have to walk across the lake or drive the truck so it looks like im stuck in the bay for now

Bah...

You're young enough to drag for long distances... Last year I had a trip up to Alex where I dragged 2 sleds a little over a mile! (I'm 32) Got to fish out of the crowd, and hit some nice eyes for the effort!

The Crappie bite is changing, its starting to be a more later bite than the past 2 weeks. The last 2 nights they got aggresive about 5:00pm and were real slow by 6:30 Waterfowl lets meet up sometime, let me know

Say, this winter I'm parking my wheel house (Converted Camper into an ice house) on Mille Lacs...

But when this season is over my contact up there is retiring... I'm wondering if you guys know of a place I can keep the camper cheap to use for the summer up around Alex. (What's up with the camper village on the North end... Or the place by the west landing?)

I don't need much... (It's all DC, so I don't even need electric hook ups) Just a porta potty on premesis, a place to park the truck and boat trailer... And a communal fire pit or something like that would be a bonus.

I don't need any kind of marina slip... I'm fine with Launching and landing...

My buddy who said I could keep it at his lake lot for $200 changed his mind, so now I'm in a scratch... And I know that cheap places like I'm seeking tend to fill up quick, once it's time to pull the houses off the ice.

Dances, the place on the north side of the lake used to and still may be called Hershey's. Maybe you can find it in the book, or the Lakeside store owners could probably get their number.

Ah... So they are at least a camper park...

I always wondered if that was the case or if it was just "Some guy who let his buddies park there."

I actually have In-Laws who live on Alex and Fish trap... Unfortunately my wife lost touch with them long ago, so at the moment you guys and the Lakeside station are my only info connection!

Thanks again!

It would be nice to be able to keep it on the lake etc...

But my big thing is having a cheap place to sleep and camp during the summer... I often find myself night fishing Alex... And since I live in St. Cloud... I run into the issue of being out there on a bite of whatever degree... It's 12:30 am...

And I'm thinking.... "Hmm... Half hour to get in, land the boat and secure everything for the ride home... Hour drive home... Hour to wind down before I can crash out... Making it 2:00 am...

It would be nice to just simply get off the lake and crash out at 2:00 am etc..

But at the same time... I want to be able to get away and camp for a weekend here and there etc...

Do you run a campground?

I've never actually fished Sham... But I've always wanted to add it to my repretoir.
