Cool Cats 2010 - Sat. March 6, 2010 - Starts 8 am

[Scott K]

I will also toss together a meat and cheese tray to bring along.

[TruthWalleyes]

Think i'll be bringing a crok pot with hambuger taco cheese dip...should be arriving around sunrise. Stop me, or wave if you see a green (dusty and dirty) bonneville. I've never fished this lake, nor caught a catfish through the ice...might need some beginners help...cuz i don't have much luck !!

Look'n Fwd To It!

[BrdHunter01]

The last time I stopped at the bait shop in Richmond, the minnows were so small, some couldn't be put on a hook and about a third of the waxies were dying. The one in Cold Spring is better. And a cute young woman waited on me.

Those little ones are PERFECT for the crappies. Thats why I love to BP in richmond! Not sure about the cats though...

[Genofish]

Hey Borch, how we looking on plates or silverware. I can bring some if you need me to.

[Gordie]

I'll bring a pan or two of brownies and my knives as I can fillet those kittys also.

Do we need any tables or anything like that?

[Borch]

I plan on bringing two 6 footers. We can use my tailgate and a cleaning board for filleting.

[icehousebob]

I'm bringing a six foot table to set up for cooking. I'll have a three burner propane camp stove and a table top grill set up for heating up food and cooking hot dogs. I'm also bringing the hot dog trimmings and five dozen dogs. Plus beans if anyone wants to eat any. Who's bringing the beer and dancing girls??

Just a reminder, if you bring food in a dish you want returned, put your name on it somehow. There have been some left behind other years. Is anyone going to be bringing some chicken liver for fish bait that I can forage from them for a price?

I think there should be a prize for the biggest catfish. We could give the winner Borch's truck,how's that sound??

[harvey lee]

I will have plenty with Bob, just look me up in my Canvas Craft or by my white truck. Bring a smaller container and I will see you have what you need.

I will take Borch's GPS spots.

Wait, I think I know them all.

[Brad B]

Icehousebob,

"Who's bringing the beer and dancing girls??"

what do you mean dancing girls we should invite the bikini ice fishing team to cool cats. you think the turn out would be even greater if they where to show up?

if you want a tub of chicken liver I can pick one up on my way up. they are $1.50 for a 1.25 lbs tub(not golden plump but are prilgrims pride brand). just let me know by posting something on here before saturday.

By the way everyone I will be bringing 5 dozen cookies.

[Borch]

I will have plenty with Bob, just look me up in my Canvas Craft or by my white truck. Bring a smaller container and I will see you have what you need.

I will take Borch's GPS spots.

Wait, I think I know them all.

Well I dooubt if it's all of them. But I do share from time to time.

Bob I'll give you a ride in my truck if you catch the biggest cat. It's really not that special.

[nytelyter]

i also have a tub of chicken livers. and have picked up five rather large suckers that i fresh froze. along with crappie and fathead minnows. still planing on being there early. i absolutly love to watch the sunrise on the early ice. harvey i hope to meet upwith you this year. i will be in the otter den next to the dark red gmc serria stretch cab. and look forward to seeing the rest of youse as well. ... paul

[harvey lee]

We will touch base nytelyter. I should be there by 8am at the latest.

[backtroller1]

Count me in for 2 more. My son is hoping to set the hook on a couple of cats this winter. I'll bring some beverages. Let me know if can bring anything else.Hoping to be there before sunrise. See you there.

[icehousebob]

I started simmering ham shanks yesterday until the meat fell off the bone. I added a few other kinds of meat, onions, etc. to a new to me antique #10 cast iron dutch oven. The beans will be added soon. You should smell my kitchen right now. I also picked up five dozen hot dog buns this morning and took the dogs out of the freezer. The hod dog toppings I have organized are ketchup, two kinds of mustard, two kinds of onions, two kinds of pickled peppers, horseradish, and pickle relish. Have I forgotten anything? If I have, just bring it yourself or go without. So there... I can probably use a hand or two to get the feeding frenzy set up.

[harvey lee]

I would be more than happy to help Bob. I just picked up some fresh new livers to fish with.

The new count should be 44.

[harvey lee]

Well, the weather looks perfect. 38 for a high with very little wind and no rain until 8pm.

There is a 20% chance of rain for a few hours from 5-8pm. Or, there is a 80% chance of no rain.

[binsfeldnick]

Good news on the weather, I have only fished the cats once so we'll see how it goes. But I will be there bright and early.

[kingfish689]

cant wait to get my first icecat

[Borch]

Should be set then.

[JoshTrutwin]

tjoutdoors already put me and my boy in the head count but my dad might also show up - 50/50 chance.

I'd love it if someone could show me how to properly bonelessly fillet a cat, they have a different bone structure than your other panfish from what I remember.

Looking forward to this.

Josh

[harvey lee]

JoshTrutwin.

Hang around the cleaning table when the fish are cleaned and I am sure many would be more than happy to show you how.

[DTro]

Here ya go Josh:

[Grabs]

I'll be there also - me plus one more. Haven't been up to the chain in a couple of years. Should be a good time!

[harvey lee]

See you all tomorrow.

[Gordie]
