[Matt Johnson]

Thanks to all who stopped in last night. It's amazing how much (or how little ) info can be applied to targeting pike under the ice.

[polarsusd81]

Yeah, I did pick up a few tips for targeting them on ice. I don't fish for them often, so I don't have a lot of gear devoted to doing so. Might have to give it a shot this weekend though.

What time do these seminars start?

[polarsusd81]

7:00 pm at Thorne Bros. They are a great bit of information every time. I highly recommend them. Pat and Matt really know their stuff, and are not affraid to help others catch fish. I missed last weeks seminar because I was at a concert, but I really wish I coulda been there to listen to Jack and Grete.

[polarsusd81]

Matt, even though you weren't able to make it last night, Pat took over and put on a great seminar. I learned a ton last night about late ice pannies. And I think I figured out where the pics on the Thorne HSOforum of Pat and Shauna with the pig crappies came from. Pat gave us one hint, and I went on a mad search.

Late season crappies, gills, and perch is where its at. I can't wait to try out a few promising spots in the next couple weeks here. Bring on the late ice.

[rodmaker]

Pat ALWAYS does a great job!!!! That's why in my opinion Thorne Bros. is the best in the Metro Area.

[Matt Johnson]

Sorry I couldn't make it last night guys. Pneumonia and a few respiratory/sinus infections kept me from coming I'll be there again next week though...

[rodmaker]

I was planning on going last eve but other things came up. Already have March 5 on the calandar.

[rockman]

Yep, Pat did a great job last night.When he gave the hint polar was referring to,it did make me think of couple of other lakes I have fished on before.Time to revisit those spots.Late winter fishing is the bomb.March can't get here fast enough.

[rockman]

That's pretty rough dealing with those conditions.Hope your feeling better,dude.See ya next week.
