Ice Cat Get Together

[Guest]

I am following up on a suggestion from Chemist on having a cat get together on the ice.
This would be on the Horse Shoe Chain and I was thinking saturday March 15th.
Anyone interested?

Sounds like a plan!

Hopefully, I can make it. I normally fish it a lot in winter, but I haven't been able to get up there this year. Vern

Might just have to venture down for this one, too. Walleyes-- closed; pike-- closed; lakers-- just closed. Time for cats! (Wait a minute-- it's always time for cats. ) Might just have to bring down a batch of smoked cat fillets for you fellas to try. Lox, shmox!

I will be up for it. The only thing that could hinder it would be when my wife delivers. Had a blast this weekend, It's great to meet fellow FM'ers and learn new things. MY kids also enjoyed it.

hmmn.. sounds a little iffy that late in the year if the weather pattern goes wacky on us again... and I'd rather not be trudging through 4-6" of standing water either... If I have the day off and the ice seems reasonably soild and not sloppy I might try to come.. altough that's quite a drive for me to waste as I am on the SE side of the metro.. I'll keep my eyes open closer to that date and make a decision then. I'm more than interested in catching and eating some fresh ice cats though... I'd rather not have to wait till they snap on late spring...

I will bring a fryer and we can do some cats up right there.We fruied up a bunch on Minnewaska a couple weeks ago with that Chef Roberts and Lost River batter and it was deeelisssh!

Fishead is right. Best fried cat I've ever had! Sounds like a great plan for the "shoe". I'll be there if I can. Keep in touch with Scott on how the bite is and let us know.
By the way, I'm healthy as a thoroughbread! Nice try fishhead, but no cold! LOL!

I have a real stupid question here ...

Theres a bunch of Horseshoe lakes in this state and I'm not familliar with any of them that have cats .. the gathering sounds great .. BUT .. I cant commit to it when I dont know where its at.

[The Chemist]

Horseshoe Lake is in the Horseshoe Chain of lakes in Richmond Mn. About 20 miles west of St. Cloud.

I am going up this next weekend and should be able to be there on the 15th.

Looks like I have the 15th off by sheer luck of the draw. Is it still on? Seeing as we got a lot of ice, and more frigid air heading this way, unless it gets into the 50's for a week straight, I'll plan on trying to make it. I'll keep tuned to this thread for times and such.
