Guest Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 The ICE Series is not too far off, ok maybe a little further then I make it sound, but why not start thinking about it now. With all the cold temps and snow, ice fishing is right around the corner. Here are a few details for the ICE Series:The four lakes that we will fish are:Lake Winnibigoshish: January 10-11, 2004.Tourney Headquarters at Denny's Resort.Phone: (888) 665-2298 This lake is famous for walleye, perch, nice pike, crappies, gills and both largemouth/smallmouth bass can be found here. We will fish this lake for hot early ice action. It can be fantastic fishing especially for huge pike, jumbo perch, slab gills and crappies and let's not forget all those walleyes. Mille Lacs Lake: January 24-25, 2004.Tourney Headquarters - Fisher's Resort.Phone : (866) 684-2221This lake is a walleye factory. It looks like the jumbo perch are back. You also have a shot at nice pike. Crappies, gills and both largemouth/smallmouth bass can be found here if you search hard enough.Upper Red Lake: February 21-22, 2004.Tourney Headquarters - West Wind Resort.Phone: 218-647-8998This is one of the top slab crappie producers in the nation. This lake also contains some monster northern pike and lots of pesky perch. Ice Fishing World ChampionshipLake of the Woods: March 13-14, 2004.Tourney Headquarters -Schuster's Resort Phone: (800) 243-2412This is one of the top walleye/sauger producers in the nation. It is truly a multi-specie lake. Plenty of hog pike and muskie available too. This lake can certainly have some of the best fishing to be found anywhere. For more information check out the Iceleaders HSOforum:Iceleaders and the ICE SeriesAsk any questions you might have and I'm sure someone can help you out. Should be a great time and I expect that a lot of fish will be caught. It is pretty inexpensive and the locations are awesome! Not to mention all the fun we will have fishing with fellow FM members and Pro Staff too!I hope to see a lot of you there!Good Fishin,Matt [email protected]Catch-N TackleMarCum[This message has been edited by MJ5 (edited 11-04-2003).][This message has been edited by Rick (edited 11-12-2003).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBass Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Sweet, too bad there's not one closer to the cities - like Tonka or Waconia or something. Millelacs sounds like fun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Slow Jigger, Might not be like the Winnie trip we had last year, Yogi sure is an awesome skier Drop me an e-mail and we can car pool to these events. Putting the deck off until spring also gives you a few more bucks for ice fishing Yeah, should be fun this year at the ICE Series. A lot of great lakes. Here's how I invision it...gills the size of my dinner plates at Vermillion...2 pound crappies at Red Lake...a mess of 12 inch perch and a 10 pound walleye at Mille Lacs...and that 14 pound walleye I'm gonna get up on LOW... Come on, let me have my fun. Never know, it could happen Good Fishin,Matt [email protected]Catch-N TackleMarCum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 It's getting close! I can't wait! Everyone should try to get out and fish for a cheap price, eat some grub, have a chance at some prizes, learn about new products and techniques, as well as meet your fellow FM'ers. It should be a great time!------------------Matthew J. BreuerNorthcountry Guide Service[email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
