[mpotter21]

I was supposed to go up Thursday-Sunday, but I have decided to cancel due to the weather. Anyone else calling it quits? I will schedule a trip when it warms up. Its just miserable out now.<P>Mike--

Unless you where planning on fishing outside, why would you cancel because of the weather?

[HARDWATER]

I was supposed to stay at my buddies house up there on the lake. The only one losing out from me not going is the Wigwam. They will lose out on getting my booze money! I'll be back when it warms up. <P>Mike--

Mike, you don't need to wear your panties out on the lake. You take those off when you leave home. Come on, thats what heaters are for. Toughen up.

Nice one gaffer! My SUV barely started this morning at -15. The low is supposed to be -35 in Baudette tonight. I hear all kinds of reports of large pickups getting stuck when getting off the road to find a spot. I really dont want to deal with this while Im half in the bag, you know what I mean? I'll be up soon. <P>Mike--

I was fishing in my shirt sleeves today. 75 degrees inside, -27 outside. It's supposed to slowly warm up, 0 to a little above on Saturday with some snow.

<A HREF="http://www.weather.gov" TARGET=_blank>www.weather.gov</A> straight from the National Weather Service. At 12:15 am 1-30-04<BR>-29 F, Friday high of -17 F low -17 F, Saturday high 0 F low -13 F, Sunday -2 F for a high -19 F for a low, Monday -1 F and -19 F for a low. If that aint a deep freeze, I dont know what is.<P>Almost forgot. Report is for Baudette. Will be colder out on the ice from the radiational cooling caused by the snow and ice.<P>Mike--<p>[This message has been edited by mpotter21 (edited 01-30-2004).]

[JAR JAR]

Hell,<BR> It will be just as cold in the cities and just as warm in your house as it will be up on the lake . SO you might as well get away for awhile and at least have fun and not ponder what you were going too do you will definately regret it in the future<P><BR>Jar Jar<P>Oh and like the big gaffer said leave the panties at home and have fun <p>[This message has been edited by JAR JAR (edited 01-30-2004).]

I hear you potter. It is cold as hell. I bet its colder than the report even says. The cold doesn't usually bother me but this is ridiculous. -30 is cold.

[The Big Gaffer]

-30 compared to 30 is the same as 90 is to 30. Thats quite a difference.

[widetrack]

Roseau report -41 this A.M.

yea

FWC,, I remember when a bunch of school teachers got stuck over night and froze toes Off.. , best to be prepared , fish with care

[woodman]

Fished Thursday and Friday out of Zipple Bay resort. The houses and Log Cabins were nice and toasty! The fishing was slow, but between 10 of us we still landed 100 fish and kept 50. <P>Good time, good place.<P><P>------------------<BR>Happy Fishing,<P>Woodman

[Riverratpete]

Woodman, good to hear that their still catching some fish, rented house outta Zippel for next fri - sat. can't wait.

[woodman]

riverratpete- I hope that you have warmer weather then we did. Try and get out as deep as you can. Set your bobber close to the bottom, and jig the other one. Pound it on the bottom and the fish will come to see what is going on. I caught most of my fish doing this. I would lift it off the bottom really slow and the fish would follow it up and nail it.<P>You may want to purchase your bait before you get to zipple resort. They don't open until 7, so if you have your bait you can hit the house for the sun up bite.<P>Let me know how you do,<P><P>------------------<BR>Happy Fishing,<P>Woodman

Woodman - <P>We ended up over on 16 mile in a permanent shack of a friend. Had to ride snowmobiles out on Friday at -34. Took us 45 minutes to get out there. Without a GPS we'd a been raven bait. <P>Any size to your catch? We had a herd a perch all day Sat. and kept 30 perch ALL at 12 to 13. Big as footballs.<P>
