    Default Waiting for the Ice

    While we are waiting for the ice, let's fire up a discussion on what is HOPEFULLY to come.

    Default Releasing 12 lb Plus Walleye

    I cant wait. I have convinced some friends from my hometown of Falconer, NY to give up on the Bay of Q & come to the walleye capitol of the world. Told them mid february to keep the odds in our favor for ice & eyes filling the western basin. With any luck we will get ice like last year. Out PAST W Sister. It was too cool. Never been there before. Had to do it & we hammered them.

    I'm hoping to get out on some hard water at least 6-8 times this year, that's 2-3 days at a time for about 3 different weeks between Feb-March.

    I have 2 heated shanties (both quick flip models) that comfortably seat 2-3 guys. I will probably only be using 1 of them at any given time. If anyone is wanting to try ice fishing for the first time or any seasoned veterans that just want to go have some company on the ice give me a shout.

    I also have an extra flasher and some extra rods. So if you have never been ice fishing, or if you just want to go let's get together.

    -Matt

    Cold weather is ushering in. Hope it stays for a while and we have good ice so you can get out there on the Lake and really test your equipment.

    Default New gear is ready!

    New Otter flip up, Jiffy auger, lots of tackle, Marcum showdown, new/used 2-up sled, I'm ready to go. May fish some ponds/reservoirs this weekend if the ice is safe.

    Default What to wear on the ICE ???

    While waiting for another great year of ice fishing in the western basin, I've been looking for a new outfit to wear this year.

    I've been looking at the Striker Hardwater jacket and bibs.

    Anyone had any experience with Striker products ??

    The best selling point is "it floats" !!!

    Thanks for any info !!
