Rocky Point

[Crappieman]

coming up next weekend. What is be like around the point?<BR>Ken

[Guest]

Ken......I have fished out of Rocky Point a number of times. Albert and the boys do a great job there putting people on fish. Most winters, their houses are on the mud flat west of Gull Rock or on 12 mile reef. The flat is good all day and the reef early and late. I prefer the flat (about 28-30 feet) for nice perch, quite a few sauger and some walleyes mixed in. You'll get some nice pout battles too....T

Hi T-bone<BR>We go out with Albert every year. I wanted to send you a note to say how great your rock and reel is. What I like about it most is that it hooks the fish in the lip. I have not used leaders fishing pike because the pike cannot swallow the spoon. Great job! I will be using it this weekend at LOW<BR>Ken

Any reports from this past weekend 1/17 ? Arnesens,Long point? Are they out on the reefs yet?

[Reefer]

They're out to the reefs(Arnesons, Gull and 16) in full force now that Babler has plowed the roads to them. I've never in my life seen so many houses on the reefs. It's like people like to ice fish, or something!!<P>The reports I've heard from the reefs is spotty at best. Better luck in the mud out deep just off of them in 32+. <P>I fished twin islands fri and it was fairly slow with 31 kept between 5 of us. The snow cover out there is making men out of some of these guys trying to get away from the crowds, myself included, being stuck a few times on that day. <P>Good fishin'!!

We were on 16 mile last Friday and the fishing was not good. We only caught some perch - no walleyes or sauger. After seeing how lazy babler was friday with his plow I may never use his road again. There was very little drifting and he did not even attempt to plow the road past 5-mile reef. There were people getting stuck all day - If you met somebody on the road you were screwed. If I pay for the use of a road there better be one unless the weather is really bad. We went out of Zipple the next day and I could have road my bike out there the roads were so nice. <P>FI

[Lip RIPPER!]

Babler doesn't plow to 5 mile reef.

RIPP<P>Thanks for clearing that up, I was gonna drive over there this weekend!! AAre you going this weekend? Our shack will be lit up, and we were hoping to follow you around to find some fish. Dingle said you fished the border humps, we might go out there if you have a half##sed report for me.

Went out to 16 mile this weekend...had to bust trail for a lot of the way. It was plowed all the way out later in the day however. Fishing was very slow out there. We picked up several perch and about 15 eyes/saugers...between 5 people. All were small. Moved around an did not have much luck. Graphed lots of fish with no takers. Good luck!

[Lip RIPPER!]

Reefer, give me a call Wed night. I'll be out of town tonight.

First Ice do you mean 12 mile reef??<P>------------------<BR>Grip it and Rip it<P>IFFWalleyes<BR>I Fish For Walleyes<BR>[email protected]

The road was well plowed all the way out later in the afternoon last Sunday!

[First Ice-Mike]

The first group of houses past Gull Rock. It must be Arneson's Reef. Thats all the further it went. I've always been told the road hit Gull Rock, 5, 12, and 16-mile reefs. I'm not real familiar with the reefs I guess. Anyways - the road was [PoorWordUsage] - we didn't get our moneys worth.<P>FI

Reef,<BR>Dont forget to bring or fill that propane tank....looks to be a little chilly this weekend. But then again, with the dish working, there might be enough heat in that little shack to hold you over. Good Luck and make sure to post a report when you get back! (I still havent spent the $40 in quarters from the last trip) Is Danny Johnson going with? (Oh shoot, I mean Jason...I dont know why but I keep getting him and DAnny mixed up)

We mostly pay for access, we gotta take what we can get cause it'd be a long road out of Warroad or Long Pt.. and Arnesen's gave it up years ago to take people out instead.<BR> Gull Rock is the main obligation and he does pretty well considering most years you have to deal with the crack too.

[Reefer]

No, I think he mean's arneson,s reef. Babs does not plow to 12 either. Hope he gets his [PoorWordUsage] in a group and starts plowing! It is a shame you have to pay for service like that.
