CJ ice check 1/22

[xtown icer]

I'll be there Sunday about 8:45. I guess the Dam bait shop open at 8:30 on the weekend. Does anyone know if they got their minnows in yet. They told me two weeks ago they should have them by now. I will try the state boat ramp area if possible.

Due W of the Park is St Rt 4; going N (right) from Croft Rd is a county store that has excellent bait AND tackle...anybody have a portable sonar? There are at 2 other sets in the #11 series...all are with in 500` of each other.

DUH- I forgot to mention, they open 7AMish...btw, hope to drop off 2 slightly used "C" trees before leaving; if you have 1 laying around, feel free to bring it with you to "donate"...we have a place for it ! Cedar, hedge apple (osage orange) is likewise gratefully accepted by the truck load...unpainted blocks, 10 hole red bricks...

I think with the temps they are calling for for the next week we will have a decent ice season this year.

Went out this morning onto the main lake. We found 9 to 12 inches of good ice in the area we fished. We stayed away from some areas I watched this week, areas that were open on Tuesday. They should all be good next week. Felt nice to pull some good fish out of 24 and 29 feet of water this morning. Just ate lunch and am heading back out solo. I will stay closer to shore this afternoon. With the weather out there and being by myself I will not venture too far out...be safe and take all the safety gear and the proper precautions...there are still some spots to avoid.

I  must deal with a (deleted deleted) frozen pipe today.  dcp. will take you up on your offer; where do you live ? Is the shanty fairly easy to move? Lastly I smoke, but will go "outside"...

[dcp103]

It is a 2 man shanty and it folds and is light moves pretty easy I live between cincy and Dayton bringing a friend of mine that has never been and just moved here from Arizona so I'd like to see him catch a few fish

[lowellhturner]

The (deleted) pipe is fixed. I HATE plumbing...

[Salmonid]

Lowell, you need to get your priorities straight...LOL   Pipes can wait, fishing cannot!!

Salmonid, I honestly TRIED to present the situation in pretty much those EXACT terms. I dutifully explained "We HAVE hot water in the bathroom; it`s not like it`s THAT far away from the kitchen sink, and I had IMPORTANT plans..." Just in case you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I am going to go `out on a limb` and pretty much BET you are going to FIX the stupid (deleted) pipe...or `ELSE` ! Stupid (deleted) pipe...

Can anyone offer any tips for locating walleye? Fished around main boat ramp and nobody seemed to be fishing for them. Coming back up next weekend thinking about main channel west of campground. Any tips greatly appreciated. I have hut, auger, and gps/flasher

[lowellhturner]

Go to page #3> GPS locations for CJ Brown fish attractors> #26A and B and enter them. Get with me when you are ready to come on out...

[dcp103]

Anyone going out tomorrow
