Smurfy we will be in your and my backyard. Was hopeing you would of stopped by and chit chatted and maybe even catch  a cat.  Those Pelican lake pike can wait for open water season.  Good luck there are a few good ones still left in that lake !

Nytyler I personally wont be there that early but maybe some of the others might be. I'm planning on first light or so. The area jeff has circled has been holding small schools all winter. The flat area to the NW area and the breakline along the North shore has been holding fish from 6-19 ft. I know there was some roaming the basin area to the west earlier this winter so I'm sure this area will be investigated also. 

i will be in a new lodge with my dark red or maroon gmc rusty but trusty pick up look me up when you get there.

Figures the weather would end up being bad. I have been wanting to come to this event ever since it was conceived but between health conditions, prior commitments, family issues and weather conditions I have never been able to make it. My wife and I may come up if the weather isn't too bad but I don't feel like driving home in a blizzard. 

You know weather forecasters.   Could be 40 and sunny or snowing like crazy.  Time will tell...

Ummm....

Well I may be doing something then.   Maybe there a bit after sunrise.  If I remember correctly you beat me there by quite a bit the last time you were there.

pre dawn bite??

 

[Borch]

Maybe...  I haven't chased them that time of day.   Plenty of eyes and crappjes there too.  Something may bite you.

[GeluNumber1]

I may be able to make it. Not sure yet.

[JustinN]

I will be coming with one other.

[Horseshoe_Don]

Big Snowstorm coming for cool cats.    The morning should be ok but the now is supposed to pick up in the afternoon.   6-12 forcased after we get 4-6 tonight.    Travel could get tough out there.   Morning should be ok though.

I'm hoping too come earlier now too. I hate to get stuck out there and can't get out. I'm sure looking forward to going my wife will be with me this time and she's excited.

[Borch]

It will depend on the track it takes Saturday.  Some have less with it going east of us and others have it get us Saturday evening.   Looks like we're definitely getting plenty tonight.  

Right now like you said morning should at least be good.  Although tonights snow could make it a little tougher travel wise.

[Wanderer]

The good thing is there will be a lot of helpful people out there and I’ll bet nobody that attends this GTG would be left stranded if it got that bad.

Beat of luck all!

Our group of 10 is still all ahead full with our plans to be on the ice all weekend.

[Whiskerbent]

I’ll be out there early saturday, probably about 6.  Red Honda atv, chains all the way around, clam x2.  If you see me, stop in to compare notes

planning on getting there about then as well maroon red rusty gmc with a xt pro lodge flip see you then

I live about 2 miles from the gathering so if someone has a issue or needs some thing  let me know.  Ill do my best to help in any way I can, I could always run back home grab tools or anything else if someone has a issue on the ice.  Or forgets something important.

accuweather still says about an inch saturday afternoon. interesting. what report says 6-12?

 

soups ready... LOL 

now I see starting about 1 and snowing till the weee hours. uffda! 

 

[IceHawk]

Conditions update for gathering. Just got Back from  the gathering area. We got around 5-6 inches here id guess fluffy snow so not to bad. Broke a  truck trail from both access to the area we will be fishing pretty easy considering I was the first one out.  If you have 4 wheel drive not a problem going anywhere on the lake. 2wd drive is doable but I would stay on the trail unless you want to test your vehicle off roading   And if you do bury it Ill have a tow rope to test your frame strength lol! I would assume there will be a lot more traffic on the ice this afternoon as there are quite a few locals out there with wheel houses yet.

[Horseshoe_Don]

I will be monitoring it.   We do have about 6" on the lake.   I will be there about noon or so(have to work in the morning).   if it starts to get tough driving I can plow a road with my wheeler.
