Who's ready?

[Corey Bechtold]

I have been having a good Ice season but am ready for the soft stuff. Anybody else have the itch to get on open water?

Ive had the itch since Dec (and Ive been on the open water in Monti about 5 times )

Have you been out in a boat? Must be kinda hard to get your line in the water with all the waterfoul out there. Do those sky carp fight hard? lol

I'm almost starting to count the days till I can get out onto the rainy. Till then we have that awesome Pike bite on the LOTW ice, and some great Walleye and Perch fishing here and there on the ice as well to to keep me occupied. Soon decision time......Rainy river by boat or LOTW on the ice!

I'd go with the Boat/Rainy! You do have a dilema on your hands, don't you?

Hey Fisky

(off topic)

I just went out of Warroad last weekend with Bobs Ice Fishing(formerly Jakes).

Bob lives in Wannaska. Do you know him?

[fiskyknut]

I may? Can't say as I don't know the last name. I just recently heard that LarryJ had sold his winter business. So how'd you do? Where'd they have you fishing Whiskey? Been pretty good out there the past coupla weeks.

Bob Stoltenberg I believe is the name.

Heck, I dont actually know where we went. We were out almost 7 miles from the marina, just SE of Buffalo pt. Very close to the Canadian border.

We did pretty good overall. No biggie(17 inches was biggest). Average that we kept was about 13 inches, and we got limits for 7 people. My son(in the avatar) got his first pout and sauger. He thought the trackvan was awesome, sleeping in a tiny house on ice was awesome, etc.

A very good trip!

[fiskyknut]

Don't ring a bell, small world up here so I'd bet I would recognize him anyhow! Bet you got some nice Perch out there too? Are you talking that gray/silver van? I thought that it was awesome too last year when it pulled out a very stuck 3/4 ton Chevy P/U for us!!!

Only 6 perch for the group. I got a 13 incher though. A football.

Bob is a great guy. He guides bear around Wannaska too if that narrows it down for you.

Hey Corey,

(OK off topic again), are you going to the Cool Cats?
