Hey HM...I know you're chomping at the bit to get that permanent house out but I'd wait awhile if I were you. Last year at this time there was still waves lapping the shoreline on Big C.

I know. I want to get out. Bud at Bud's Sports Center said there was like 8 inches in the north bay, but I want that confirmed.

I hate portable fishing in the wind. It is easier to drink a cool beverage in a comfortable house.

I talked to a guy that fished Silver and he said they only had 4 inches of ice. That is hard to believe. This sucks more snow coming and warmer temps.

Thoughts?

You check on Lee?

I thought you were going to check on Lee Hittman?

[Dahitman44]

I've been too busy putting up posts. I'll try to run over there today. Silver too.

Is there a way to get down to the water via camp cormorant or is it pretty much just strictly using the accesses. also, is the access on the NW side of the lake usable in the winter? i know it has a pretty steep incline in the summer if i remember correctly. i'll be out saturday and will post results if there are any. who am i kidding i am a professional.

Get er done

Hey minneman....have any early fishing reports?? I'm tied down until next weekend and haven't even drilled a hole yet.

Was also wondering if sleds and atv's are going all the way across the lake or are people mainly sticking to the bays??

[Dahitman44]

Minneman --

Are you on the West side or the North Side?

Any other houses out there in those locations?

[minneman]

Z, they're getting around with sleds and wheelers, all close to shore so far that ive noticed.

Hm, we are on the north half of the lake. noone close but there are a few other perms out there.

report...caught one snot rocket, and a buzz

try again tonight.

Minneman --

Stop and visit. I should be out there by like 2 p.m. I have a silver-sided 8x12 house. I shouldd havee beverages if I can find some.

[minneman]

[Dahitman44]

Minneman --
