Cold Cat Get Together

[Dennis Steele]

OK we will meet at the winter access off 22. Time is 12:00 noon.
I may be out there a little earlier but will run into the winter access at noon.We plan on trying near the methane hole,which is near the big point or in the bend of the "horse shoe"
You can't miss my truck Its a white Ford with a topper that has very large FM stickers on it.I will also be pulling a trailer and sno machine.
See ya there!

[The Chemist]

My intent will to be to mark a trail out there(as long as the kids cooperate). I'm gonna try to mark the hole. So I probably will be out there before noon. If you see a maroon minivan that should be me.

Hey Dark- I can get some tullibee from a friend if we want some cut bait. Sounds like we meet at the store at 7:30 and go from there. Otherwise I got some fatheads to bring.

[The Chemist]

I should have cut bait covered. I have some frozen stuff left over. Plus I just found a place that still has suckers in stock, 1/4 mile from work. Will be picking them up on my way out of town today. See everyone up there.

[The Chemist]

I got 1 large spearing sucker and a dozen small suckers. So I don't think anyone has to bring stuff for cut bait. MAybe fatheads and crappie minnows.

[The Chemist]

I'm headed towards the Chain. Hopefully we'll see you guys tomorrow.

[Dennis Steele]

I found a bunch of stinky old shiners,suckers,and rainbow chubs in the snow bank today.or what was left of it.
GOT BAIT?!

Doesn't look like I'm gonna make it. I was out on Bald Eagle last night and by the time I got off it was a wee bit too sloppy for my tastes. That and I've been putting way too many miles on my truck lately, and gas has been so expensive. I'm gonna stick home and work on re-spooling reels and inventoring my tackle. It's almost time guys!

I hope you guys have fun and let me know how you do!

[Dennis Steele]

Had a great time yesterday.The fish were not exactly jumping through the hole(except for the one that got away and came back up the hole )We did manage to get nearly a dozen between 6 guys who fished most of the day.
It was a great day to be out on the ice though with the temps inthe 60s.We will have to plan another outing for next year for sure!

[The Chemist]

Fisrst of all I want to thank everyone for coming out last weekend and putting up w/ my kids. It was great to meet other FMers. I only wished we could have done better than we did. My kids however were happy for me that is the key. I did take them out Sunday but little luck. Just a bunch of perch and a crappie that someone left behind in a hole.

Now for the second part: Mykal is looking to go up and fish the lake this weekend what is the access from 22 that was used? I am bad with names, it was the 2 guys that came towards the end of the day. Any help would be appreciated. Also if there is any reprot on the condition of the ice in that area. I know it was by the bridge but I didn't see it on Sunday.

Hey Chemist, I think you're talking about me & my brother Rick(InnerCityFishing). Nice to meet you, especially after reading all your Horseshoe reports the last couple years. To walk on Horseshoe, I usually park just a few feet south of the bridge on 22, either behind or in front of the mailboxes. It's across the street from a trailerpark. It's not posted & I haven't been ticketed so I figure it's OK. When you walk out you have to cross a shallow rocky area with some wood on the edge of the bay. There's an island and small bridge on your left. Be careful crossing that area after this warm weather. Also, stay away from the river channel on your right. Good luck, Vern

Vern: Thanks.

You know when you guys came up I thought I recognized you from somewhere but couldn't quite figure it out. I actually thought I may have met you before out on the 'shoe but I believe it was from your web site. Don't you guys do any shows anymore?

[vern]

Hey Chemist, we haven't done any new shows for about a year because everyone was busy doing other things. But we still film a lot of trips and hope to do the show again sometime soon. Next time we'll probably try to get some sponsors & expand our viewing area. It's a great hobby & a lot of fun. Good luck on Horseshoe this weekend. I'm done ice fishing, but I should be up with the boat soon for some crappies & cats. Vern
