[Quickstrike]

1st Annual Cheesehead get-2-gether Lake Minnesuing, Jan 7! This will be a great time to meet fellow IceLeaders, HSOers and fish a good pike and crappie lake, there are even a few nice eyes swimming a round. I assume one of us will bring a grill so bring your grillables and beverage of choice. I'll keep my eyes open and try to get some prizes together for a raffle drawing.

So come on out and bring a friend!

[Wade Joseph]

Hey Wade or Cheffrey, if you could post good directions on this post that would be great. I know how to get to the lake from Duluth but I don't know all the road and street names, and since the lake is in your back yard I'll leave it to the experts.

[Wade Joseph]

The best way I know to get to the landing I use is take 53 South to County Rd "L". Go left. Follow "L" approximately 3 miles to Minnesueing Acres Rd. Take a left (only way you can turn If you come to County Rd "P" you went past it)

Follow that aprox 1/2 mile to Bennett Rd. Go right. Follow that about 1/4 mile and it will dead end at the unimproved landing on the south end of the lake.

Option 2 is 53 South to County "B". Left on "B" go East about 3-4 miles till you get to County Rd "P". Turn right. Go about 1 mile and when you get to Homestead Rd. the lake will be about 1/8th mile furtheron your right. I think there is a Bar there and a Landing run by the Bar. If you can't get on the lake there, continue south on "P" till you come to County "L". Turn right, go about 1/4 mile so Minnesueing Acres Rd and turn right, then right on Bennett Rd.

Clear as mud?

Wade, Do you plan on fishing the south end? Or do you think it would be better to go out from Sidelines Bar or Halberg Rd. and fish the 25 - 30 ft range for crappies and people can still set tip-ups for slimers on the North -end? Just a thought and easy to access for the people from out of town.

Closer to Sidelines the better.

Also, they do have bait at Sidelines as well.

[JAR JAR]

Ohh! They sell stuff other than bait???????

[Wade Joseph]

THATS IT! "Sidelines" I couldn;t remember the name of it. I guess going out from Sidelines would be best as I do most of my fishing in the North End. I just like the landing at the south end better.

[Tom Linderholm]

Wade, I believe the access at Sidelines is a bit sketchy with the current coming in there. It would be a good meeting point and we could leave directions there over to the landing which is about a 1/4 mile straight out from Sidelines.

Looks like theres some cold weather on the way at the end of the week. Everything looks to be open again. Even the little ponds are ice free. Sure are lots of geese around hmmh......

[Wade Joseph]

Looks like a week or more of good cold ice makin weather has arrived. This bodes well for this event and the Fish lake event.

[Wade Joseph]

I've never been to the landing your refferring to Cheffry, you'll have to give up directions to that one.

Looks like my dad may be coming up for this event.

[outdoor ran]

Wade, have you had a chance to get down there and check the ice?

[Wade Joseph]

Not yet. I been "on call" all this past week. Will try to swing by this weekend.

[Tom Linderholm]

I was out on Nebagamon tonight for a short bit and measured 5 inches. Should ring true for Minnesuing.

[Jim Hudson]

Need some cold weather again guys!!! (Contact Us Please) rain came through our area.. it was pouring out this morning when I woke up to get on the ice... UGH!!!!!!! Warm weather started earlier this year... Last year the rain and warmth at least waited until the 18th!!!

[outdoor ran]

The lakes and rivers just look horrible with this warm weather and hard rain we got this morning. Man, the ice season flew by. Seems like I just put the boats away

[Cooter]

Forgot if I asked already but should I bring my tip-ups? Putting two out and jiggin with a third rod would work.

Speaking of weather, you watch, it will be colder than you know what on the 7th

[Wade Joseph]

Ive broken ice with my boat before, I will again if I have too.

[Tom Linderholm]

Cooter,

Definately bring your tip-ups, theres some monster pike to be had in that there lake. Right Quick?

[Northlander]

You call what you caught down there Monsters?

Cooter bring your tip ups but bring small hooks if ya want to catch any of Cheffreys "Monsters".

[Cooter]

Lots of slimy snakes in there eh?

[Quickstrike]

Cheffrey did win first and second place in the Minneusing pike contest last winter with a total of under 5 lbs of pike! Pretty impressive in my opinion.

I have heard that they do get some nice pike out of that lake. Although most of the fish we caught were small, Cheffrey did have a hog on and you surely don't get bored.

Hopefully we can get on that good crappie bite out there.
