trie d my favorite spot today, for two hours..caught 3 walleye ,10 saugers and lost one biggun at the hole..

Thanks for the report, Ryan. How much ice? I'd imagine it's relatively inconsistent in terms of thickness of ice at this point. Judging by the lack of tracks on the ice, you were one of the first brave souls to give it a shot.

Not sure if I'll make it up this winter, but I know Peter's coming in a week or two. I'm sure he'll give you a shout.

holy smoke Ryan.. that looks fun.. how much ice? have not checked the ice on the red at all yet..the RLR is still open over here......... man just seeing that pic gives me an anxiety attack.

Thanks for the report, Ryan. My jiggin' hand is starting to itch something fierce.

Ah ha!

I see your testing that area by the park I was thinking about. I bet you there are cats there too.

I spent a morning on our last trip up just scouting that area with electronics to see what was what. I found a spot very close to where you were that had a hard hump and very low flow. Then it dives off into the channel. Are you bouncing muck or hard bottom?

Are you seeing large suspended fish?

If I can I may be up with Peter? Not sure yet, it depends on my work schedule. I hope to get up at least once before it gets late in the season.

Ed, I'm going to book rooms sometime this week so let me know by tuesday if you can. I'll email you my phone number so you can just give me a call. Just got back from fishing my favorite crappie hole, no slabs but a few nice eyes. Can't wait for the trip to the Peg to get some sumos. Talk to you later. By the way, we will be going next friday-sunday the 10-12th of December.

I will have to miss this trip due to schedule conflicts. So go ahead and plan without me. I have a feeling I will regret missing out. I just cannot get away this week and most of next the way it looks now.

So, go catch a hog or two and rub it in when you get back.

If you need a few of those baits I showed you I should be able to arrange it before you head out up North, if you’re in town this week. Let me know and I will see what works best. Drop me an e-mail if you do. I can stop by your office this week with them if you do. Ryan was eager to get a couple so he may want a few too?

[fisherdog19]

Ed, sorry to hear that you can't make it, I'll catch a pig for you. Ryan will let me know tomorrow if he wants some chubby darters. If he does, I'll pick them up Friday afternoon on our way up there. I'll give a report (hopefully with some nice pictures) when we get back. Ice is getting safer up here, I'll have you and hopefully Scoot out some time to chase some slabs, I should have them pinned down in the next couple weeks.

How is it going up on the Red this weekend guys?

I hear some nice sumo Greenbacks are popping up.

Curiosity is getting to me...common....spill.

I will check back after work tonight and see.

I am eager to see that mount that Pete had done from the last trip up too. It will be awesome; he picked the best guy to do a Greenback there is.

Am I jealous because I could not go with this weekend? He%% Ya!!

[fisherdog19]

Ed, here are a couple pictures of the mounted greenback from last year. It went 31" and 13lbs 5 oz.

[Ed Carlson]

WOW Like I told you, he does great work!

I have yet to see anyone do a Greenback mount any better, anywhere.

Well worth the wait Eh?

You can bet when it is time for me to mount a Greenback he will be the one to do it.

Very nice fish Peter!
