Terry

yes it is to brag so I can say I am better then you if you don't understand why I would remove the big building in the background that many people would recognize, then there is little reason to waste my time chatting with you but I did state that it was not my spot and I am sorry if it bothers you that I respected the guy that took me there as to not give up his spot..not of the guys I went with are members here... oh when I see you posting where you are fishing when they are very small secret spots, I just might do it too well not this spot because I told the guy I was with that I would blur the background ..........

I was talking to Tylers mother just a few weeks ago and she said they were doing it again this year, so I would say it's a go

OK OK you caught me Bunk I took some old photos and put my head on some I found on the internet with a mess of crappie and did a fake report I am sorry but it seemed funny at the time everyone knows I couldn't catch fish if my life depended on it..but it made me feel so good LOL got you of course I caught those crappie, you guys found it easier to believe I made the story up...LOL but I did, I really did catch those beauties ... no really I did

I think they draw the water way down in the winter I would think I would fish on the west side of the bridge in the channel to find good water, but that is a guess

24" must be nice

LOL there is some truth in that statement but I wouldn't tell Lloyd LOL

a wax job to stop it from rusting

you mean the snow or the axe

looks like you are good and ready for some fishing I wasn't ready I just threw some things together and went but now I have to get all my stuff together for the next trip

sounds ok but will it seat 30 and is he supplying the beer back on shore after a day of moving the hut because we all know "water on the water and beer on the pier" and it would be wrong to drink out there once we have "safe ice" hope I covered everything...LOL

thanks all it was great to get out and fish on the ice....... hope to be getting out again soon but where oh where

and is that a problem or is it time to start the ice fishing portion of your fishing season

I used a folding camp chair for 5 years now without a problem with it hurting my hut

as stated snow is bad news for ice making cold weather , no wind is great news for ice making

I don't know what you guys mean I think you need to hit refresh or reload on the web page LOL

he didn't want his picture taken with a fish that might be OOS depending on where he was fishing...... GWB, men of good conscience would never ask that...LOL

nice shots

Hey I had to hide the big white church that sits there and I did that's all I was trying to do

yeah, It's not my spot so I can't say.. sorry

thanks all thank Andy for the photos some moron that would be me..LOL forgot to put the memory card in the camera....LOL

it's an optical concussion I mean illusion my new thorne bros. perch rod work even better then I could hope for and matched beautifully with the Pflueger Patriarch 9525 I picked up for it

I got asked to go to Lake X for some crappie fishing and couldn"t say no, I have been dieing to get out, Knew I had to do a bit of traveling to get some ice. we found the spot, threw a big rock on the ice and it did not go through so the march was on.. chip chip step was not the route this time it was chip chip crack craaaaaacccckkkkkkkk run crack step seems the water level had lowered sense the ice formed so there was a bit of a space between the ice and the water so we spud a hole and the ice cracks in 4 directions and you could feel the ice drop to the water level. I saw it drop where the ice met the rocky shoreline . after the first scare we checked and had 4" of good black ice and all the way out it was the same thing, the one time I am sure I could see the crack run 400ft and shake a dock when it got to it.. but again good 4" of ice we set up fishing and Andy gets 2 bass real quick he wasn't happy getting green bass as his first ice fish of the season..LOL I got the first crappie and we continued catching lots of them right through the day it started snowing pretty good and the wind picked up so we called it a day for the long ride home <a href="http://s25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/?action=view&current=lakeX1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c52/Mrbeee1954/lakeX1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> everyone had lots for a meal this poor little frog was on the ice and half frozen, so we got him over near the shore and some open water so he could get down to some mud for the winter...or we just fed a big bass a nice frog..... it was great getting on the ice I can't wait to get out again closer to home thanks guys it was great fishing and fun day

and that is why I remove one of the chairs and use a folding lawn chair to sit in make more room for storage too

here walleye here crappie looks like some will be fishing soon

great job
