That sounds like a real blast...Ive never speared in my life anybody willing to "adopt" me into there dark house so that I can watch and ask questions?

[Huey]

Not 'til later in the morning though. I'll be driving home from Menahga that morning. Save a decent spearing spot for me!

I have been seeing trucks on the ice on big lake for two weeks. today was my first time out ice fishing on the lakes, mitchell. and I can tell you this much, there is about 12 inches max! of ice, and people are driving full size trucks like the lake has 24 inches. very crazy. there is about only 8 inches of good ice, the rest is frozen slush. I will stay on my wheeler.

the good news is for much colder weather, so there should be better ice.

Just look me up Sunday.

I will be in the 4X6 black canvas house with the American Flag flying over it.

You can use it to cut your hole.

[Central Bassman]

Bass N Spear and Myself will also have a ice saw with us!!! Everyone is welcome to come and watch, We will even let you cut our hole for pratice!!!

[bassNspear]

that is correct, i will have my saw out there as well.

Anyone can come and watch myself and Central Bassman cut our holes if they would like.

Im getting excited, after looking at the weather, looks like sunday is going to be the best day of the week.

Merkman-

Are you still planning on bringing the deep fryer and catfish? I'd be happy to provide the batter. I have about 5 boxes of ShoreLunch and a bag of Louisiana fish fry batter sitting in the kitchen. Mix 2 boxes of shorelunch with a bag of Louisiana fish fry and it's goood. Just let me know.

Looks like we'll have an awesome day!

Huey

[bassNspear]

I know you siad the other day that you didnt know if you were going to be able to? Just wondering is all

[Huey]

Ya. I know. Now it looks like I'll be there all day. Depends on a couple things. I'll find out tomorrow. Either way I should be there by 10:30am at the latest. Definitely by lunch. I hate to miss lunch.

[bassNspear]

[glenn57]
