"Geesh", I must be the only one who hasn't hit the ice yet!

Hey what's up, sounds like the season is starting off pretty well for those who have ventured out.

Making plans to hit Fish next weekend, have had to much going on in the last couple weeks to think about it.

Is the ice on FL about 6" in most places, was thinking on taking one or two of the youngsters out?

Good Luck to everyone!!

Wormburner, your not the only one . I haven't been fishing since Sept 15th. My shack is buried under decoys and my rods are all tanged with my tip ups. I wonder where the heck my vex is Looks like I'm going to have to take time and put the hunting stuff away and get ready for ice fishing. Any chance we can all just skip ice fishing and go trolling

[wormburner]

Ice fishing is a great way to pass away the winter months, but it just takes a little more to get going the first couple times out with getting everything ready, not like hooking up the boat and just plunking it in the water and away ya go!

Wormburner,

The last time I was fishing was way back in early September

like Labor Day Weekend.

I am with you lil perch! Just drained the lower unit oil out of the motor a few weekends ago! Sure wish i could have gotten out a few more on soft water...but i am definately ready for the hard water...specially when i can drive on the ice!

I've only made it out once and that was last Saturday down in Kimball's Bay. We ended up with about 6 crappies four perch and a blue gill that was 8-1\2" long . Oh! I almost forgot A walleye that was 28" and tipped the scales at 7-1\2 lbs .

It was pretty slow for the most part but there was a solid 5" of ice down there. Hoping to get out again on Sunday morning.

Jar, how much ice did you have in the bay? Were you walking or wheeling?

[JAR JAR]

We had a good solid 5" on Saturday but we walked in. This weekend you should be able to take machines out with no problem. I will be out on Sunday for sure.

Where do you shoot tonight Ran? I have some x-mas crap to do in town tonight so I may need a beverage before I go home

[outdoor ran]

jar, sure pick a night we don't shoot . Its a break between 1st half and 2nd half. Hope to see you on another Tuesday. I will be up at the shop tonight incase you want a tour give my cell a call. I fish that area alot and would like to hear more about your outing.

[outdoor ran]

Jar, I might give that spot a shot on Sunday myself. I'll most likely be by myself and dragging a green shack. Maybe see you there.

[JAR JAR]
