2nd Annual IGL Get Together Boji Bonanza.. POSTPONED until later date.

[Esox_Magnum]

After the 17th I'm good anytime. The bite is slow right now and getting around is tough, I think giving it a couple weeks may help open up the lakes a little and hopefully bite pics up. I'll have my sled avilable to pull folks around if conditions dont improve. Bites slow now so I'm playing on the toy more than fishing, a few guys are doing ok but its a select few.

Thats my 2 cents anyway good or bad.

I agree with a forcasted high of less than 5 right now, this may be a bit too much to ask for.

Okay so the way I see it that it is official that we agree to WAIT for a later date... So this is the official announcement that we will postpone for a later date...

What I need from everybody is suggestions for a date that will work for most and maybe some up dates on lake/ice conditions...

Let me know and we will go from there...

Thanks

I am posting from inside the shack. Finally got it set today. I don't know what next weekend looks like for anyone else but I will be up with a bunch of buddies next weekend. Fishing today has been great. Catching walleyes at noon.

There is clear access at Buffalo, Red Nose and Anglers. I would not recommend anglers if you have a house you are going to drive out, the ramp is narrow and steep.

I had no trouble getting my house out on Buffalo.

You are the man Ed. I suppose you are going to say that you are already enjoying some beverages too. Good luck up there, it will be a while before I can make it up there.

[epkirkman]

Oh yeah, thought we had plenty of beverages. We ran out and had to call for reinforcements.

Let me know next time you come up, be good to share some with you.

Weather permitting, my son and I are planning a marathon day on Spirit on Saturday, 1/23/10. Let me know where you're going to be set up and maybe we'll stop in and say hello.

Now that is a good time. Emptying your supply and reloading.

[epkirkman]

Weather permitting I will be sitting off Buffalo in a large white perm with blue letters on the sides.

I am not liking the forecast.

Had I known that the weather was not going to be bad, I would have headed up there. They cancelled our plans for Saturday, so the youngest and I headed to Paulina. If I would have known that nothing was going to happen weather wise Saturday, I would have drove up there instead. We stayed closed because I thought that the rain snow that you were supposed to get was going to be a mess. I am comtemplating the Winter games next weekend. I will let you know.

I know they redid Paullina a few years ago.......Did you catch anything of decent size out there? It's only about a 15min drive to Paullina for me, but I've never fished it since they just redid it. I'd like to know if it is even worth a stop.

[henresox]

going tomorrow in spirit lake to fish, how deep the snow on the lake can we drive on it??

[henresox]

how is the lake and how deep the snow on it can we drive on it on spirit lake?? thanks

[epkirkman]

Came up tonight. Sitting in the shack right now. The ice is good, the slush is gone. Have had quite a few come in, but nothing so far.

I am off Buffalo still on Spirit if anyone is around tomorrow, look me up. Black Wrangler, white perm.

Looks like its been awhile since I have been here. Paulins is still full of dinks. We went the last 2 Saturdays. My boy got 30 the first trip and 35 his second. The ice sure didn't seem as safe the second trip. We were by where the trees are sticking out between the ramp and the cabins. The first trip was great. The second the ice seemed thinner and sure was making some noise. It was cracking as you walked. Doubt I will be back. But we did see a northern the first trip. Swam right under my boys hole. It was pretty cool. There were some people down by the dam on the second trip, not sure how the ice was or the fishing in that area. Where we were at, you could see down to the bottom in 6 FOW.

[Iowabrewcrew]

From Paullina originally. Just catching a bunch of little gills up there? Would like to get over there as it would be a short trip for me and it's hard to find many close, productive trips this year. Anyone know how the fish/ice has been recently? I'm shocked you ran into a northern in that lake! Hopefully not many of those or we may never see a decent class there!

[iafish4fun]

We went to Pualina two weeks in a row (23 &30). The ice on the east end seemed great the 23rd. A week later I was real nervous. The 30th trip there were people over by the dam on the west end. Not sure how they did or the ice over there. Have to watch around that new dock as they leave the aerator on. It is well marked and you can still get around it, just don't get too close.

As for the northern, a couple of other people have seen it too. I thought that I was seeing things went it passed through. There are plenty of little gills to catch there. That is why the youngest one and went there. He was able to catch at least 30 of little guys both weekends. I don't know about the dam end, but the east end you can see down 6 feet to the bottom. He liked that too.
