Night Fishing 12/22 & 12/23

[Tyler Holm]

Guys,

Looking for a fishing partner for this coming Thursday and Friday evening. I've already asked Andy (RugbyGuy) about Thursday, but he said he'd have to get back to me.

I'm thinking the CC Manor pits, but I'm open to suggestion. I'd like to get out there with just enough daylight to drill some holes and get the shak setup. This means being on the ice at 4:30ish (let me know if this is too early for you to take off work). I'm guessing we should give it until 8-9ish, or later if they are biting well.

Any takers? We can take my shak and I've pretty much got everything we need. Just bring your rods and whatever else you normally fish with.

I have no problem going by myself, but my shak gets a bit heavy for 1 person to be dragging around the countryside. If you're interested, please let me know.

Cory (FM: Tullibee) and I will be at the pits on Thursday night. Any takers for Friday?

There might be a chance I can make it Thursday now. Will you still have room? I am done with work at 4:00 and work over on West Circle drive anyway, so it would take me minutes to get over there. I would really like to join you guys, probably could teach me a thing or two?? I will let you know for sure tomorrow. That is if you still have room??

Fish_Hunter,

I've commited the 2nd spot in my shak to Cory, so my shak is full. Your more than welcome to setup camp right next to us on the ice. We can work together to set things up and if you setup close enough, we can just chat back and forth.

I'm still looking for somebody for Friday night if your interested.

[Fish_Hunter]

Yeah, Friday is pretty much out for me, Thanks though.I guess you snooze you lose... on Thursday, we'll hook up sometime. What do you have going on Monday?

[Tyler Holm]

Im gonna be fishing the mighty Zum on thursday morning but if i got the energy to pull my shack one more time after the hike of lake zumbro ill be there. Friday i should be able to fish. what time are you thinking friday same time?

[Tyler Holm]

CrappieGuy,

I'd sure like to get out Friday night, but your the first one that has showed interest. If you want to go, I'll go. I should work until 4 at least, but it's sure nice to get everything setup and holes drilled before its totally dark.

As for a place to go, lets keep that up in the air. We can see how you fared today and how I do tonight and decide from there. Shoot me an email and we can exchange digits.

Let's plan on Friday evening around 4ish if that works for you

All,

Fishing was tough for us at the pits tonight. We managed 3 crappies and 3 gills. All fish were in the keeper range, but nothing huge. Everything went back down the hole. I did loose the biggest fish of the night to my vexilar transducer. It looked to be a 11"+ crappie. It still has my sweetish pimple in its mouth.

The ice was only 6" of good ice. By the time we left there was 2.5" of water on top of the ice everywhere above our holes. That was a bit of a issue, but the ice held firm and was nice and clear. 100% waterproof boots are a MUST! My vexlar sat in that water all night as well.

Glow ratsos produced the best. We fished from about 5:15-9:45. The best fishing was right when we setup and it slowly dwindled off from there.

I'd be game for trying a new spot for Friday night.

Thanks for the report Tyler. BTW, thanks for the info on my previous post. That makes pretty good sense what's going on between the north and south pond. I wish another cold front would come through that way we can get some better ice out there!
