Thanks to the FishingMN guys

I realized I used Ice Leaders incorrectly in my last post so I deleted it and started over.

I did venture up north to Upper Hay. Caught 1 snake and a perch and a broken line. Had a great time on the water. My wife busted my chops for brining home fish fry goodies but no fish. Thanks again Rick, I can't wait to try that stuff.

Steve, Gary and Tim thanks for the braut, sausage or chunk of meat, I wasn't exactly sure what it was but man was it tasty . I have to say the condo is pretty ingenious. I was hoping to take home some crappies like you gents but had no "luck" or "skill".

Fishead and Tomcat it was great meeting you guys today.

Fishead - here is info on the crappie record, I am pretty sure it was Lake Grace in Chaska that held the record for a while. Looks like someone brook it this year.

Thanks for setting up the day, I had a good time on the frozen fishing platform.

Hey chadly!
It was good to "bump" into you on Hay yesterday.We had a lot of fun even if the fish were uncooperative and getting off the lake was an interesting story.Getting lost on a small lake can make a guy feel a little foolish not to mention the fact that I completely forgot how to back up a trailer!I will bet you will avoid parking next to white Fords for some time.

It was good to see allthe other guys that showed up too.

It was nice to meet those of you who I did meet there....I wished I could have met more fish though.....Chadly.....Thanks for the help on the ice in the dark. I got turned around on direction when the sun went down a little. Looks like I wasn't the only one. That Condaminium was huge! And warm inside!.....I tried the fish breading last night and the oil on some LOW Walleye. Yum!.........T

The conda-minium crew had a great time. Thxs Rick for putting us in the right spot. Were going to try the breading with our fresh upper hay lake crappies real soon. Hope to see everyone at Vermilion Lake.

TBone -
I thought your handle was Tomcat. Sorry for the confusion.
