the shooks shake

Recommended Posts

see what you make of this---- every time i or anyone in our party is heading up to red, the word has been spread, do the shooks shake. when you come into the shooks city limit, you have to shake. both on the way there and back. very important. technique isn't as important as the act itself. if you have been up there and didn't do so well, ask yourself, did i do the shooks shake? i'll bet your answer is no. want to change your luck? it's free and easy. think it's silly? so did my 12 year old boy. he refused to buy into that silly garbage. said it wasn't true. o.k. but don't blame me i told him. everyone got their limit and then some except the guys in the house he was fishing with(just a few). man they were merciless on him. the next time out he was telling everybody not to forget to shake. even shook himself. guess what--yup hammered 'em.even the wife shakes. the old man thought it was silly his first time out. 4 crappies. the next time out, he shook like an epileptic. 22 fish in 2 hours. like i said, it's cheap and easy. if you want to do a good one, don't even tell your buddy's what your doing. if they ask, just tell them you got a chill or some thing. then watch the gods smile on your holes. shake like a champ smile.gif

I hadn't heard of the "shooks shake" I'll have to give it a shot! I'll have to teach my 8 year old too! Maybe we can bring some luck with us to URL! What is the ice depth at now on URL, do I need to bring my extension along for this next week? any help?

Thanks Kelly! We used to go down and buy our minnows from your mother. Sorry for your loss. I don't recall WW selling minnows last summer,is this something they just started lately? I bought my minnows from Shorty last summer, by his had pretty short life cycles. We are coming up for the contest on the 2nd, good luck!

I never knew what the shooks shakes was, but I did limit out last time and REAL quick. Didn't even start poppin holes til' bout 8:00.

I thought about it... "ya know what" I said to myself, " I did use the mens room at Shooks. Therefore I did a lil shakin in a different way". That must count too.

Jigglestick,

I went to Red Friday. I even left work early. I did not do the shooks shake. I got skunked.
Next time I'm up it'll be hard to keep my truck on the road cause I'll be shakin my A** off.

Good Luck

      Walked out about half a mile on Tuesday with max safety (life jacket, ice picks, long rope to house, and chisel).  Ice was very solid and I measured 7½" today (Thursday).  The first 1/8 mile was nice dark ice that was large chunks frozen together, but quite smooth.  Then there was about 40 feet of very jagged white ice.  Had to lift the portable over the points of ice otherwise it would hang up on them.  Then the next mile of ice was rough white ice as shown in the picture with the ice scoop.  At the small island before Birch Island the ice appears to be dark (and probably smoother).  Several snowmobiles and ATVs were running out as far as Birch Island but it was easy walking for me.   Fishing got better each day.  Rainbow and chubs were about equal.  Couldn't catch a fish on pike suckers.  Best fish was the 27" (8#-3oz) hog shown in the picture.  Had a hard time getting her head into the hole.  Picture quality is bad because I wanted to release her quickly to avoid further stress.  Good luck out there and be careful on the ice.

      Measured 6" good clear ice today about 50 yards off the north side of Moccasin point. Walked out for a little ice fishing. Remember ice conditions vary around the lake, depending on sun exposure and current in channels/narrows. Be cautious, safe and verify your local ice conditions.  Directly off the Moccasin point boat landing, in the channel ice conditions looked poor. Picture is from Northside of Moccasin point I the early morning  when ice looks the best

      Finished the 23 waterfowl season over Thanksgiving. Got to hunt two days of the long weekend. Saw a modest number of ducks, and harvested mallards, bluebills, and ringnecks as the water began freezing over during the weekend. One of our tougher seasons with different migration patterns probably due to unusual weather patterns with constant fluctuating between well above average temps for a period and then almost instantly well below temps before going well above again, and so forth. Still will cherish the memories with family and friends and relive the sights and sounds of out on the water during fall. Will be posting ice fishing reports in the fishing report clubs as soon as the ice is safe. Happy Holidays everyone.

      Thanks for sharing this exciting career opportunity with Orvis in the Minneapolis area. It's great to see companies looking for passionate individuals to join their team, especially in the world of fly fishing.

      Shocking, I know.  And what may be more surprising is that one need not head westward to find them either.  There is a thriving, reproducing population of them right here in Central MN.

      Cosmo and I took the afternoon off and went pheasant hunting in the fresh snow yesterday.  Tried some new spots that I have never hunted before.  Raised 28 total.  I got a double at the second spot.  Two roosters flushed simultaneously and I dropped both of them.  The first one one fell dead but the second one went down as a cripple.  After retrieving the dead one, I went over to where the second one went down and after some good dog work, Cosmo came out of a patch of grass with it.  Then the final spot produced another rooster for a December limit.  Hunting after a fresh snow is quite often my most productive and enjoyable hunt of the entire season.
