As long as the ice is good Mitch131 and I will be headed up to try for some eyes.It would be great to meet up with some other IFO members on our last trip up. Any help on where to find some eyes would also be apperciated. I plan on being at Linda's at 7 am.

i just got off the ice, it was still 8 to9 inches were i was fishin, i fished the south end, missed one  BIG eye at the  hole, i marked fish all day the bite was slow and they would only tap the bait, the one i had on slammed it though, they say they were catching eyes yesterday about were i was at, i fished 20 fow then moved into 14, they are  there just not hitting, the shore line is a little shakey, im  gonna fish friday and sat. hopefully as long as i fill the ice is safe, i dont think the north end is worth going to the water is brown and no one has been up there for 2 days i checked it out yesterday drilled a couple holes but didnt fish, there were quite a few guys down the south end at 305 launch and some right out from the dam, if anyone wants to meet up sat. let me know i would be more than happy to fish with yea. just give me a time and i will be there. thanks

There is a good chance I will be out on Saturday also. Where do you guys plan on fishing?
Title: Re: Saturday 2-26
Post by: HardWater Junkie on February 23, 2011, 10:31:01 PM
Not sure yet. Where do you think we could get an eye or two?
Title: Re: Saturday 2-26
Post by: Eyewall on February 24, 2011, 07:46:50 AM
I think the south end would be better for eyes. I'm thinking 305 area or the cemetery.  It might be worth a try.

We will be up there around 7am at Lindas. Mitch131, Eye4aneye and myself are coming up for sure. I will bring my camera for pics. Hope to see lots of guys up there. Looks like this may be the last weekend to get out. Hopefully the Fish Gods smile on us and we all catch big fish but if not it will still be a good time hanging out with with every one.

I got a late start today and fished from 1 to 6. My right leg went thru about 20 yards from shore on the way out. Not the way I wanted to start out the fishing day, wet all the way to my junk. Ice was 10" and good but 305 ramp has bad shore ice. On the way back in I could see where others went in. A few crappies and gills and one 14" eye. I lost 2 others at hole. Blue forage minnow tipped with a minnow head is what triggered the most hits.

Post by: HardWater Junkie on February 26, 2011, 09:04:40 PM
Eyewall I think I may have talked to you at the ramp. I was one of the others that went through the ice. Only went up to just above my waist but it sure was cold. We did ok today. I caught around 40 to 50 gills and a few perch but most were dinks with a dozen being keepers. Fished in 13 to 19 ft. Had a great time fishing with mudpup, snowcone, mitch131 and eye4aneye. It was a great last ice trip. Have to get together more often next year.

I must say it was a great day. I have to give a VERY BIG THANK YOU to Eye4aneye and Snowcone. When I went through ice Eye4aneye drug my super heavy shanty and auger along with his gear all the way out to our spot while Snowcone drove me to walmart to get some dry cloths so I could go back out an fish. They didnt think twice about helping me and for that I owe you guys. You guys are awsome guys and good friends. We will deffenatly be getting out more often next year.

I fished Sunday out from the 305 ramp(skirted the bad spots). A few crappies and gills. My buddy caught a nice fat 23" eye on a Kastmaster tipped with a minnow head. What a fun year. I cant wait til next year. I wish I could have met up with you guys, maybe next year.
Title: Re: Saturday 2-26
Post by: snowcone on February 28, 2011, 10:21:48 PM
boy i cant wait untill next year just when the fun got started zam!!!!  but  i learned alot , had alot of fun, have a boat load of new info to use next year...and its because i happened upon this site and meet some new friends, reall bunch of crazy ifo's like me... ;D its not in the end how many fish u get but the adventure of the whole trip..right??? so give a person a fish and they eat for the day but teach a person to fish and the'll help u drill holes for life...he he he he he 8) 8) :P ;D so if u happen to stumble upon this site put it in your favorites and join the frozen band of people who would rather adventure out instead of couch fishing,,,he he he he he he he he ehe he :P  C...YA....

Where did you guys fish? My buddy and I were North of the bush in the ice in 14' of water.
Title: Re: Saturday 2-26
Post by: HardWater Junkie on March 01, 2011, 11:02:27 PM
We were southwest of the bush in 13 to 18 ft. drilled a long line of holes and checked all but were mainly in 14 and 18
