AARGH!

[Finns]

I see it finally happened. Ice fishing went to the top of the list. The only ice we get down here is in our whiskey glass!

Finns.

I have been anxiously waiting for this day. Its been a long time coming.

Indeed, a glorious day. With the cold weather, ice is forming, and the 'Ice Fishing' forum has again taken its rightful place atop the forums listing.

I was thinking of going to Sheilds or Mazaska to duck hunt this morning. I only have the little boat left out and it is not big enough to get through the ice that is around the edges. I did go to Fleet Farm and get me a 2HP strikemaster auger this morning though! I'm ready, bring on the ice I need to get some of them slab crappies! Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Well, Finns, that's not an entirely bad use for ice. Of course, you get up here for the Burntside bash and you can chip out clear blue ice right from the lake.

[Corey Bechtold]

Sorry to see it too. At least until there is safe enough Ice for me to get out on . One thing that has always puzzled me it how many people are viewing the Ice fishing forum even when the season was far away. There are probably more people up here that Ice fish than Open water fish. That's music to the Beer companies ears!

Good luck,

Corey Bechtold

We are making ice in Perham, MN. Some ponds are frozen and the temps are going DOWN and stayingg there.

Do I feel a little warm air reversal in the open water/ice listings?

Finns.

[eyepatrol]

The winds of change are beginning to blow!

I'm passing on the ice this weekend and heading to the river.

[AQUAJOE]

What river and for what Metro?

[hanson]

Sad to see this topic pop back up. Finns! Gall darn it dude! Its winter!

AQUAJOE- I'm betting metrojoe is talking Pool 4 on the Mississippi.

[metrojoe]

Your close, I'm heading to pool 2 for a little cpr. I hope to tie into a few pigs.

Now your getting close to my water. Have fun! Let the flatties go.

[AQUAJOE]

No idea what pool 4 is or where. So would you be fly fishing?

Never been a river person. Once and a while we would go down to blackdog(Minnesota River) to catch northerns.

Lost interest fue to the fact we would go through so much tackle due to snagging and losing it. Not alot of money back then.

AQUAJOE-

Pool 2 is the Ford Dam (St. Paul) to Hastings on the Mississippi.

Pool 3 is from Hastings to Red Wing on the Mississippi.

Pool 4 is Red Wing and south...

Awesome river walleye fishing right now!

[AQUAJOE]

Hanson thanks for the info I did not know that and that makes it real easy to figure out.

Hanson are you going to LOW this weekend?

Metro when are you going this weekend? I'm sorry to say my largest Walleye is only 3lb 13oz.

Are they bigger then that there?? and if so do you want some company??

Pool 2's walleyes run 24-26" or so on the big end with regularity. Yes, they are bigger than 3 lbs.

Sorry Aquajoe, I'm a guest myself. I'm hoping to hit the river a few times this year. Maybe we could set something up when I pull out my boat.
