I need some new ice fishing friends

[doinsumthin]

Hello - I've posted in other forums here a few times over the last few years, but it's been awhile. I'm really looking forward to ice fishing this year but I've been thinking that I need to find some new friends to fish with. Not that fun to fish alone ... my hubby isn't into it and the people I've been going out with for many years have become unreliable. We make plans, I drive two+ hours to get there, and then they often bail. (they are much older than I am - they're retired so can go whenever they want so it's no big deal to them if they cancel - but it drives me nuts!). Anyway, I need to move on. No more messing around with wishy-washy plans - just want to get out there with people who are solid and will go when they say they'll go.

I live in the twin cities but will travel almost anywhere, in any direction. I know many of the central MN lakes (Stearns - where I have a cabin-, Douglas, & Pope counties) very well as I'm from that area originally, but again ... will go anywhere.

My auger is pretty old and isn't working very well, but I have two very nice, custom-made one-person portables and am willing to lend one.

If anyone is interested in getting together, please reply.

tnx!

Ann

Ann,a bunch of are always doing something. New Years weekend a bunch of us are going to Mille Lacs, and there is a gal in Andover and one in Brooklyn Park who are always up for some ice fishing. I am in Grand Rapids, but like to travel a lot and am retired so I can go anytime. I know we will be doing some fishing around Leech this winter and also Forest Lake area. By the way welcome to the forum, it is a fun place to hang out.

Ann I was reading your post to my wife and how I can relate to that and she said call her if she likes to fish as much as you Etc. I live in Rockford, Mn. Have a super shack portable and a sled. And when the ice gets thicker I have a 6x12 drop down to use. Your welcome anytime if you feel like it Rick...

Wow, cool. Gregg, I'll email you.

lambjm, thanks so much. Where can I find out more about the Mille Lacs weekend? I would love to join in. No luck the last two times I rented a sleeper house up there but that only makes me want to try harder. Please email me at [email protected]

rcatcherman, I'm in! Again, I'm at [email protected] I am ready and anxious to go, anytime.

Ann,

If you don't mind going out with 20 somethings, I've always got people heading out fishing in the south metro. As a landscape designer, I spend a fair amount of time ice fishing.

A group of us are going on a scouting mission on a tiny metro lake in search of some 'eyes next weekend. You welcome to join us.

Any time you want to head out email me at [email protected]

Hello Ann,

My name is Holly and I am up in Canada. I fish for greenbacks on the Red River and Lake Winnipeg daily. I am trying to get some ladies together this year to for a group called the Canadian Jigglers, lol. Want to make it an annual event for ice fishing weekend for ladies. You and all ladies can pm me if you are interested. All you have to bring is a smile and your clothing.
