1st Annual Cheesehead get-2-gether, Lake Minnesuing Jan 7!!!

[Wade Joseph]

This past summer I caught about 6 northerns from there. All were under 5 lbs. I did boat one nice walleye about 5 lbs and two fo them about 3 lbs. The rest of the eyes I caught were 12-14 inchers. I found a few places to get on the crappies, hopefully they will be near the same places under the ice.

Whatever...was there a witness present with less than a 6 pack in em?

Or were you talking about at the tavern after the fishing?

[Tom Linderholm]

EZ there Cooter, if you want I can set up lessons for ya.

[Wade Joseph]

I don't want to dissapoint anyone, but unlike Northalnder and Catfish, I am not as well "connected" as they are and I am not sure I am gonna be able to round up any "door" prizes for this event. This event may just have to rely on they simple things like the pure enjoyment of fishing with good people and having a good time.

[Northlander]

Wade you dont need any hand outs to make a good gathering. Its all about the getting together with fellow hard water fanatics that counts not the tackle handed out.

Just make sure you have a grill and it will be cool.

[Wade Joseph]

Thats what I meant in the last sentance of my previous post.

I hope someone has a Grill they can bring. I intend on bringing my deep ffryer and cooking up a Turkey.

[Northlander]

I figured that it just sounded like you needed a little reasurance thats all. I hope to be there.

[Quickstrike]

Roll Call! With the gathering only a couple weeks away, I just wanted to get an idea on who planned on coming. I plan on being there, who else?

[Northlander]

IM in. Who wants to pre fish Sat?

[Tom Linderholm]

I'm in for Sunday, let me see what my schedule looks like for Saturday.

[JAR JAR]

I'm in and probably Condor if he has his new addition by then. I think she may have it today.

[Wade Joseph]

[LoonASea]

[outdoor ran]

I plan to be there. How far of a drag to the fishin spot Wade?

[Wade Joseph]

Well, the first spot is about 150 yds from the public access. The rest of the spots I plan to hit are a pretty good haul. I am gonna give the lake a workout this weekend and possibly next. I hope to be on the fish by the 7th. Hopefully we can get a inch or two of snow as it seemed the fish were really spooky last weekend.

ICE UPDATE!

I went out yesterday for about an hour. Ice was popping and cracking like crazy, probably the sun and warm temps. But there was a good 6-8 inches of ice. I dropped a few tip ups and the kids soaked a few minnows but no takers. I ts been my experience when the ice is expanding and making all that racket the fish don't usually co-operate. I was correct again. We packed up and went snowshoe hunting. Oh yeah, there is some fool in our midst as I could see where someone had driven a small car out onto the ice and back off. They must have been trying their luck as they drove out about 10 yds and then back. Not my idea of a good way to test the ice.

[outdoor ran]

Wade, did you find any rabbits? Them snowshoes sure don't have any where to hide do they. I tried it yesterday for an hour. Just something about thick tags and a bow that just don't get along.

[Wade Joseph]

Yeah, We shot 3 of them white bunnies and 1 grouse.

[Cooter]

Hey Blake, you still bringin the compass and 12 pack? kjgmh, you still in Rice L and planning on attending?

I'll bring that turkey up, no skin on it but we can deep fry it or I'll marinate it and we can grill it on foil. Which one? Later.

[Wade Joseph]

I can bring my fryer and 5 gallons of oil.

[Blake]

Cooter.....I've been given the honor of babysitting my granddaughter that weekend, otherwise I was planning on it...However, I could let you borrow the compass and 12 pack for a few days???

[Jim Hudson]

I'll be there... What else do we need? Wade are you thinking wheelers will be a go?

We should all be able to find some crappies... Just have to swiss cheese the lake.. Should have enough guys!!

[Wade Joseph]

Yeah, wheelers should be fine. There was 7-8 inches last weekend. I plan on bringing mine, just wonder if I'll burn more gas with the auger or the wheeler.

[BD110]

What time are you guys planning on meeting up for this event? I get off work at 7:30am the 7th. I'm not even sure how long it would take me to get to this event and I have never been to this lake.

So with that said any extra info would be great. I'll try and talk to a few of you guys on the phone and get some extra info also. Hopefully I'll be able to make it down to this get together and get a little more use out my Wisconsin lisc.

Take care,

Tom (BD110)

[Northlander]
