The ICE Series is not too far off, ok maybe a little further then I make it sound, but why not start thinking about it now. With all the cold temps and snow, ice fishing is right around the corner. Here are a few details for the ICE Series:<P>The four lakes that we will fish are:<P>Lake Winnibigoshish: January 10-11, 2004.<BR>Tourney Headquarters at Denny's Resort.<BR>Phone: (888) 665-2298 <BR>This lake is famous for walleye, perch, nice pike, crappies, gills and both largemouth/smallmouth bass can be found here. We will fish this lake for hot early ice action. It can be fantastic fishing especially for huge pike, jumbo perch, slab gills and crappies and let's not forget all those walleyes. <P><BR>Mille Lacs Lake: January 24-25, 2004.<BR>Tourney Headquarters - Fisher's Resort.<BR>Phone : (866) 684-2221<BR>This lake is a walleye factory. It looks like the jumbo perch are back. You also have a shot at nice pike. Crappies, gills and both largemouth/smallmouth bass can be found here if you search hard enough.<P><BR>Upper Red Lake: February 21-22, 2004.<BR>Tourney Headquarters - West Wind Resort.<BR>Phone: 218-647-8998<BR>This is one of the top slab crappie producers in the nation. This lake also contains some monster northern pike and lots of pesky perch. <P><BR>Ice Fishing World Championship<BR>Lake of the Woods: March 13-14, 2004.<BR>Tourney Headquarters -Schuster's Resort <BR>Phone: (800) 243-2412<P>This is one of the top walleye/sauger producers in the nation. It is truly a multi-specie lake. Plenty of hog pike and muskie available too. This lake can certainly have some of the best fishing to be found anywhere. <P><BR>For more information check out the Iceleaders website:<P><A HREF="http://iceleaders.com" TARGET=_blank>Iceleaders and the ICE Series</A><P><BR>Ask any questions you might have and I'm sure someone can help you out. <P>Should be a great time and I expect that a lot of fish will be caught. It is pretty inexpensive and the locations are awesome! Not to mention all the fun we will have fishing with fellow FM members and Pro Staff too!<P>I hope to see a lot of you there!<P><BR>Good Fishin,<BR>Matt<P> [email protected]<BR><A HREF="http://catchn.com" TARGET=_blank>Catch-N Tackle</A><BR><A HREF="http://marcumtech.com" TARGET=_blank>MarCum</A><P>[This message has been edited by MJ5 (edited 11-04-2003).]<p>[This message has been edited by Rick (edited 11-12-2003).]

Sweet, too bad there's not one closer to the cities - like Tonka or Waconia or something. Millelacs sounds like fun though.

Slow Jigger,<P>Might not be like the Winnie trip we had last year, Yogi sure is an awesome skier wink.gif Drop me an e-mail and we can car pool to these events. Putting the deck off until spring also gives you a few more bucks for ice fishing wink.gif<P>Yeah, should be fun this year at the ICE Series. A lot of great lakes. Here's how I invision it...gills the size of my dinner plates at Vermillion...2 pound crappies at Red Lake...a mess of 12 inch perch and a 10 pound walleye at Mille Lacs...and that 14 pound walleye I'm gonna get up on LOW...<P>Come on, let me have my fun. Never know, it could happen wink.gif<P>Good Fishin,<BR>Matt<P> [email protected]<BR><A HREF="http://catchn.com" TARGET=_blank>Catch-N Tackle</A><BR><A HREF="http://marcumtech.com" TARGET=_blank>MarCum</A>

      Made a quick trip before the weekend rush on Vermilion.  Ice was in very good condition.  Didn't see any slush or water on any of the roads out from McKinley Park.  There are plowed roads on both side of the staked snowmobile trail coming out from the landing.  The road to the left goes out toward Birch Island, and there is a spur road going to the left (west) a couple hundred yards out.  The road on the right side goes out toward Ely Island.  There is a short spur road going east about half mile out.   The water came up under my fish house about another 1½ inches when I drilled my holes.  Looks like I will be going back up early next week to block my house up higher.  The small amount of new snow is really drifting up and adding weight.  You may get water on the ice, or find slush if you drill holes in new areas.  There is about 15% bare ice where the wind has blown it off.  Many of the drifts are very high and hard, so you could get stuck on them.   Fishing was average.  Best bites were from 9-10am and 11-1230 when I quit.  Biggest walleyes was only 16¼", then the next biggest was 13.75".  Reporting lengths in quarter inches because I can't seem to find any big walleyes.   Good luck fishing, be careful driving around, and be courteous to others.
