Early Ice Gathering On Fish Lake SAt. Dec 18th

[OUTDOORNUT]

$1 on the biggest fish.......anyone?

[Northlander]

Ok but your in charge of the $ and making a list of everyone who is in. Im in for a buck.

[Tom Linderholm]

Gambling, I couldn't! OK maybe one.

Just looked at the forcast, 20 mph winds forcasted with a high of 28 then -10 on Saturday night. Sanchors are filled and ready to rock.

[Northlander]

Cheffrey I bet ya I can get ya gambling by the end of the day. 10 to 1 odds even! LOL. The way the fish jump off your hooks you should just give me the $ at 7AM.

[Quickstrike]

sounds like fun, count me in. i always enjoy taking money from new people for the first time! i hope a 13 inch walleye holds up

[Granny]

The last time I fished Fish Lake was during an ice fishing contest about 5 years ago. I had first and third place for most of the day with two eyes, one was 8 oz and the other was 6 oz. I got beat out at the end of the day though. Who is bringing the Texas Hold'm table?

Granny

[condor]

northlander are you meeting people anywhere i've never been up there not sure how to get there

[northernnels]

Salmon Oasis Surface Tensons direction might be shorter. He knows the area good. when you cross the river for the second time you are real close to fish lake dam road take a slight right or almost streight at the curve follow to to hi banks. Good luck Nels

[northernnels]

a little wager ok beginners luck is on my side and I could alway use some extra cash for my lost tackle Im in Nels how about it S T are you going to contribute?

[Northlander]

Condor give me a call or e-mail me. We can work something out. [email protected]

[BD110]

Northlander,

I'll see you guys up there when I get off work Saturday morning. Call my cell in the morning Saturday if you forget anything and I'll try and pick it up on my way.

Take care,

Thomas (BD110)

[Surface Tension]

Nels your directions are fine if your coming from Midway road. Wish I could be there, I'm going to be away at a meeting. At least I got to meet some new guys last weekend and see some familar faces too. Hopefully we can do it again before the South African frip. Nels we'll have to hook up on Grand.

Since I can't be in the contest I'm putting a Buck on Wall-i-King, , someone be sure to get him on the ice.

Have a good time guys wish I could be there.

[Quickstrike]

ST, are you betting on who catches the biggest fish or who can tell the best fish story and down the most brats?!?! jk king, get a hold of deepdiver and drag him out there for a few hours.

[wall-i-king]

Quick,

You know I can out fish you any day when it comes to these inland fish. I will admit when it comes to the big lake I got nothing but this is where I school you. ST you have definitely picked a good one to back....if I get out I will not let you down sir. Now someone better find a way to get me there. I have a way home just got to get there now. Porter, Barry, DD any of you got room to take out another guy? Kent has my number. If there is anyway I can get out there I want to bad. If not I guess you will have to put your money on another ST, but I will do my best I promise you that. Good luck to all who get out.

keep fishin'

SalmonOasis,

I'll be leaving from just north of Esko (the intersection of Canosia and North roads, at the town hall) on the Canosia Rd at 6:15 tomorrow morning. If you want to follow me your more than welcome to. I'll be in a green pickup and pulling a sled trailer. Otherwise follow ST's directions and you'll be fine, its about a 1/2 hour drive to Fish from there. See ya tomorrow.

[Wobbler]

Northlander,

My dad is an avid ice fisherman but is not computer savy enough to be a part of the forum but I know he would like to meet all you guys. Can he still go and be a part of the day?

[Granny]

Wobbler,

Send him on out!

How did your trip out Zipple Bay go? My dad and some guys headed up there yesterday but I havn't heard how they are doing.

Granny

[Xplorer]

Wobbler,

On behalf of NL, your dad is more than welcome. Alot of guys will be at HighBanks resort at 7am for bait and access, and heading out, others coming out at various times during the morning. Sounds like its gonna be a pretty good turnout, a bit windy but temps sound decent during the day. Should be a grill or 2 on hand also for lunch

[Wobbler]

Granny,

I never went but am going Monday out at Zipple. They would not let wheelers out on Wednesday or Thursday when I called. With the cold temps this weekend I will be out there Monday. I will give you the status report on Tuesday!

Xplorer,

I will let my dad know. I am sure he will show up. His name is Mike and he will have a Honda Recon with a Polar double sided fish house. He sounded pumped up yesterday when I told him about what was going on!

[Tom Linderholm]

Absolutely send him out Wobbler and this goes out to all the lurkers on the forum as well, It's gonna be a blast, I boiled off 40 Brats yesterday, picked up a 1/4 Barrel of South Shore Brewery Nut Brown Ale, Grills will be coming out. Somebody please bring a tapper Believe we have door prizes and best of all we might catch some fish while doing this

[Granny]

What are we going to do with a 1/4 barrel, use it as a bobber? Do you still need someone to bring katchup and mustard?

Granny

[Tom Linderholm]

OK with that comment the "mystery cooler" is coming out, Grap some condiments if you can Granny.

Thanks Bud

[Granny]

I will do that. I might bring a big old pack of hot dogs with also. Are we planning on gathering at noon for the prize drawing and a bite to eat?

Granny

[Wobbler]

I talked to my dad and he won't be there until later in the morning and I told him where you guys would be at. He will be with my stepmom but they love to fish! I can tell he is pretty pumped to fish and have fun!

[Quickstrike]

i hate to sound like a mootch, but it looks like the wind will be pretty rough on sat, and i was wondering if anyone had an open spot in their shack. Porter, I may force you to fish 3 again in your voyager. Anyways, I can't wait for tommorrow went and got charcoal and fluid and boiled up a dozen brats. see you guys out there!

[Tom Linderholm]

Quick, depending on wheter or not some people come with me from work, which I am doubting since they are fair weather people, I will be solo in my shack and you are more than welcome to join. I promise not to drop any Brats down the whole.

[Quickstrike]

thanks a lot cheffrey i would really appreciatte it, I haven't pulled the one man love shack down from the attic yet nor do i have it registered, (silly minnesota rules), and if worse comes to worse i can always just sit in porters shack on somebody's lap. lol

[I'llTakeWhatiCanGet]

That lap talk is no joking matter... I should have plenty of room, i'm not sure when berry's coming out, but worst case it'll be three people. Thanks for leaving my door open yesterday kent, my battery's still dead. It was wide open on the street all day. Maybe i should make you sit out in the cold

[Northlander]

Wobbler as others have already said you can bring your dad and anyone else you like. This is a fun little event. Nothing will be serious including the fishing. Because we look to be having so many people coming we will go out of the Narrows and down the left shoreline about 1/4 - 1/2 mile. Dont want to upset those who may be there to catch fish and not socialize like we will end up doing Im sure. Anyone who needs transportation in or out just call me or anyone else with a 2 way radio on channel 7, no sub channels, and we will get ya to where ya need to be. See ya all tomorrow.

Oh I almost forgot. Everyone make sure to bring a bussiness card or paper of the same size and put your name on it and get it to me on the ice by 11:45AM. At noon I will be giving away some nice small prizes that you can use right away that day. At least 90% of them.
