Winnie GTG Dec. 5-7 let the fun begin

[MJ1657]

Looks like the weather is going to be 60 degrees warmer this year

Makes you wonder how we survive doesn't it?

I will not be unhappy with the temps that are forecasted. I think it will be the first time we haven't about froze for the potluck on Winnie. My fingers are crossed.

Friendly reminder to get a shelter license if you plan on leaving your portable out. I know its been forgotten in the past by a couple guys. Me being one of the guys.....

Thanks for the reminder Jaymo.

yeah, if you need to use the porta potty at the landing it won't be as memorable of an experience this year.

Just talked to Dixon's. There is about 16 inches of ice. Snow cover is a little light but there are some drift spots to get snow for banking. Pike have been running and she said to bring your panfish rod.

Pizzas in the lodge at 7 on Friday night.

How far out from the landing do you venture? We are in one ton superduty 7.3 so it will be Atv for us does the Cell phone work on the lake?

If we go to the banks I suppose its a mile or better.

Cell phones work good on the lake.

We have been to busy fishing, spearing, eating and having a good time to spend much time on the internet. Duh...

12-16" of ice.

[MJ1657]

Hard to beat that meal!

[Archerysniper]

Where's the huge jar of pickled pike?

[MJ1657]

No pickled fish here!

[MJ1657]

Never any talk up here!

[mrklean]

You guys are killing me no updates?

[MJ1657]

We have a few pike. Nothing real big but a couple big ones have been spotted. I had one hanging around a little yesterday that was trophy material.

Panfishing has been real good and a couple walleyes have been caught. We have had a few big walleyes swim through.

Raining and sleeting right now....

Neighbor_guy, goose and I have all struck scales this morning. Gooses first ever, my second. My first was yesterday. We saw a mid 30 inch pike but he didn't offer a strike. Speaking of strikes, we've had 3 hit the dekes this morning. We got two of em!

Matt picked up a 35 yesterday on one of our tip ups. Goose got her first tip up pike yesterday too!
