[Laska]

glenn you can its on a saturday and I know you wanty to!!!!

I made some calls for bait for when people are travelling to the lake.

Walts hook line and sinker in madison lake will be stocked for us so stop in there if you need decoy suckers, I will be stopping there anyways if anyone wants me to pick up a sucker for them tell me the size and how many!! Unlike axels at the sakatah GTG, walt will have suckers for us! just thought Id let ya'll know. Any directions issues let me know I can help with getting down this way.

[Archerysniper]

Never count your money when your sitting at the table.

[Archerysniper]

Can't remember where that came from but sounds like it could make a great song.

[Gordie]

Plenty of time for countin when the dealin done

I think you have been playing to much polish poker.

[Archerysniper]

I don't think the polish poker was the problem I'm guessing it was the beer that goes with it.

[Gordie]

its all about the poker face

Are there any plans for food on the ice?

I'm not a cook but I would be glad to bring something.

[bowhunt]

I am getting really excited about the GTG, if I need to bring some food to share just let me know. I am going to need some help getting my block out of the hole, I don't have a pair of ice tongs. So if someone has a pair that they can let me borrow when setting up or better yet help me get the block out I would really appreciate it. Hopefully one of you experienced guys can give me a few tips on how to pick a spot to set up as well.

Laska I am interested in possibly buying one of your decoys at the GTG if you have some on hand. I only have one decoy right now, so it would be good to add another one. That fire tiger northern of yours looks great by the way.

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

No problem on getting your block out. Let me or any of the other guys know and we can help you out. If you need a saw your'e welcome to use mine.

[bowhunt]

Thanks, I do have a saw and auger so should be able to get the hole cut if I take my time. Haven't cut through this much ice before, last time I was out there was only 16" I'm sure there is more now.

[Gordie]

BNS wont be there to lend out his ice thongs sorry guys

[MJ1657]

It just takes a little more time is all. When the ice gets thicker I get lazier and drill a few more holes.

You only need to cut three of the sides. Use your chisel on the fourth.

[mrklean]

its always fun pulling a block of ice out that is over 2 feet thick im more then happy to help as well, after hearing about BNS saw the other year i will help not let you use my tongs haha plus i always lost my on sunday

[Gordie]

Time to tether the saw to yourself or a life jacket

[Laska]

[BehindtheHead]

[Laska]

Ill be bringing extra decoys if anyone wants to try one and see how they swim.

I remember little long GTG and we had enough equip to make a sign saying "thanks fish" it was awsome Ive only missed I believe one GTG since its an awesome event thanks to HSO for letting us have this thread. Im getting pumped and hopefully I can get heidi to spear another pike!
