i was up there in front of the marina until 7:15, and never seen anyone get pulled out of the water. there was 8-9 inches of ice out there, and quads out further.

[Bing]

Bd7's right.

I was less than 100 yards from where it went in. The guy thought he could get back to where he had fished just the night before, the overnight snow made it tough to see the edge, it was right out by the shove ice in about 15 fow. He was not alone and it took about half a dozen guys with planks and a winch to pull it out. He got real lucky, 1. he got off the maching before it went down. 2. It was in daylight. 3. he wasn't alone. 4. managed to snag it before it went all the way to the bottom. Be careful out there, just because there is 8 inches of ice doesn't mean you can assume all is the same as yesterday. Glad he's ok, it could have been a disaster.

Stop looking down the hole so long and look up once in a while !

You are scaring the fish away !:lol: :lol:

[theangler]

so thats what those guys were doing! lol. they were probably 300-400 yards away from us, we seen them cuttinga hole with their chainsaw and thought that they were just getting ready to put a permanent shanty out there! :lol: sorry bout that guys lol. thank god everyone got out alright.

[UnkaD]

Only 6 guys from here will be there Hmmm...
It's getting closer is there ice there does'nt look like it from the web cam???

[Carpmaster]

Just started somewhat residing there this past july, wanting to make it out....if anyone wouldnt mind fishin with a "new" kinda local in the am let me know, wife and I plan on checkin out the festivities also....

Reason I am Kinda local is that the wife lives there and I do only on most weekends due to my job in Muskegon....

As far as Ice there was plenty where i drove the pickup out last weekend;)

[HemlockNailer]

Lots of ice out from Jerry's Marina, you can see the huts from town. A few spearing huts at the state dock as well, the ice just refroze last night outside of the harbor. Temps in the teens for tonight but warm up for friday. Should be good ice by Feb.10

[Carpmaster]

Just wondering if the perch have even been around?

[HemlockNailer]

There is a ton of perch,unfortunetly they are all dinks. I saw the same thing last year and thought in another year they would be keepers. It can't be for lack of food since fall there have been lots of minnows at the state dock. The guys spearing have been seen schools of perch, but no size.

[CAPT HEAVY]

I think that this year that I will be attending. Not a HUGE ice fan but some of the off ice festivities have peaked my interest.

[maxemus]

What activities?

[CAPT HEAVY]

Visiting some of the local establishments and visiting some of the local sites.
Remeber though "visit Tawas on vacation,leave on probation" Be careful!!

[BassBoss88]

yup i'll be there all three days....were gonna fish my buddies lake friday and then head to tawas for the weekend. hope to get out on the bay with some tip ups, but can't promise anything. we got a room at the holiday in, so im going to guess there'll be a lot more bead passing and beer drinking more than anything...all in all it's the best weekend of the winter months....p.s. anyone taking the polar bear plunge, cuz i know i am. i'll be easy to spot, the 6'7" gorilla guy.

[FrankIll]

Hoping to catch a few thru the ice. I haven't ice fished since I was 16, now i'm taking my kids out for the first time.

[Northwoods]

Hey Don,,If me and Seaweed go, do you have a place for us to pass out,,,,,I mean crash.:lol: I'll clean your fish for you.:D It sounded like he was interested,he has it marked on his calender. :fish:

my 3 wheeler or not? How's the ice up there?

[Carpmaster]

Fished saturday morning and there was a good 10 inches people had quads out there but I wouldnt venture farther than the group of shanties with it...

[Cooley]

Hey thanks for the info, If I didn't bring the 3 wheeler, how far of
a walk would it be? Did you have any luck out there?

[theangler]

anywhere from a half mile walk to a mile walk. not bad. not many fish being caught up there.

[Cooley]

Are there any decent inland lakes to fish there?
I'm bringing my son with me, he needs a break from
home, school.And his sister :lol:

I DID NOT THINK THAT ANYONE CAME TO TAWAS FOR THE FISH DURING PERCHVILLE DUDE!

Heck I thought it was the beer, the beads and the boobs ?:dizzy:
But we keep planting walleyes every year all over Iosco hopping to make fishing better !Sorry you did not find them when you were up....:bloos:

[captain morgain]

Anybody jumping in the drink, I did it once and Im not gonna lie I probubly wont be doing it again. I'll be the drunk guy with the fish hat on. Can't miss the hat, its one of a kind. I wear it every year.

[UnkaD]

I don"t think I'll be swimming in the Lake but I'll sure be swimmi'n in the Beer:chillin:
Did someone say BOOBS:evilsmile
Also can anyone from Iosco Co. tell me if the law passed to ride a quad on the shoulder yet.. A buddy from up there said it did but I could not find anything on the web about it or this site either

The townships of Plainfield,Tawas & Baldwin are open to shoulder of the road atv traffic.

I'll be up there.... but my instincts tell me there will be too many people competing for limited space this year. At least a litlle too crowded for my liking. Might head for some brews but I will fish elsewhere.

[Bd7]

Don't try it in EAST TAWAS yet you will get a ticket !
It is still being looked at .but it looks good for some type of change..soon too.

[bignoccursg]

Ive never been able to try anything in East Tawas without getting a ticket.

[UnkaD]

We're coming up Thur. night Friday we'll be fishing one of the Lakes by the cabin probablly Round or Big Island Lake. Fishing Tawas Bay and enjoy the festivities Saturday and headed to Mulligans Irish Pub Sat. Night my buddys band Rebound will be performing there ... Sunday is up in the air... Might be hung over....

NEMichsportsman Is there any information on shoulder riding (News clippings or anything) I can read.... Thanks

[Bd7]

[Bd7]

I here the demo is no longer on the list of thrillers...:yikes:
A little short of ice ? shucks ! no demo on the ice this year ....might as well stay home now ....:lol:

[Bing]

To anyone comming up here with "fishing" on their minds, use caution we've had new ice develop and a dusting of snow, it's deceving where it starts. Don't take chances , play safe and have fun.
