Thanks Dr. Bob. we are heading up Saturday morning and coming home on monday. Just got home from the Carribean and I heard we had 50 deg weather here and that the lakes are getting sloppy, Hopefully the fish will co-operate alittle. <P>Thanks Jar Jar

Right now the NWS is predicting a cool down for up there. It is not supposed to get above freezing until Sunday. You should be fine.<P>Please give us a report upon your return .<P>------------------<BR><BR>The Doctor is in.............Everybody stand back!!!

We had 7 guys spend the weekend last weekend and the fishing was pretty slow. On Friday we cought enough fish to eat and then between Saturday and Sunday the group only caught 9 "keepers". Most of the fish wouldn't touch anything heavier than 1/16 ounce and some were taken on plain hooks. The group had to work too hard for the very few quality fish that were pulled on the ice. The thing that was most disappointing was not 1 pouty was caught. They had our shack in 32 feet of water, we marked a number of fish but not near as many as when we went the first week of January.

Any report from Gibbons last weekend JARJAR? A couple of us are heading up there this weekend to stay in one of their shacks.

Just got back Monday night and sorry to report that the fishing was pretty slow and the fish where running pretty small The largest was a 16-3/4" walleye I dont think we had over 70 fish for four guys in three days.<BR> But the fishing was'nt everything, The boys at gibbins did a great job.They checked on us through out the day and made sure we had everything we needed.just wish I could go again this year but for sure you will have a good time.<P>Jar Jar

What depth were you fishing? Any hot lures you were using? Thanks for the info. <p>[This message has been edited by Iceman12 (edited 03-09-2004).]

We were in about 29 fow and the hot lure for me was a silver buckshot rattle spoon tipped with a shiner head and also a white frosty that glows blue with a whole shinerbut it was real tough bite and it seemed that alot of the times the jig would spook them and they would be gone in a flash off the vex.<BR>Everything was real tight to the bottom and if you were lucky you could pull them up from 1-2 ft off the bottom to strike. Just make sure you have a large assortment of jigs and dont be afraid to try anything because that is the only way to find out what works. I bring three rods and the one I'm not using I always tie on a new rig.<P>Good Luck<P>Jar Jar
