[slim Jim]

Called the bait shop up there, said the lake has 4-6 inches. I'm going up there tomorrow morning to go ice fishing. Will report on ice conditions, and fishing.

was out today to check ice, we have a good 4" with a little slush under the snow.... theres been people out for a week so now.... the public access is plowed but there is one hell of a snow hill to walk over which is a little hard with all the equipment, just make sure its strapped down pretty good and you'll be alright..... didnt fish so not sure whats biting but i'm going out tomarrow afternoon

Not ice fishing but a short story to share. I have a largemouth hanging on my wall that came from St. Helen. 8#. We used to camp on the last on pool of the lake. Down where it used to be private property owned by a hunt club(?) (Charleton Heston?). That was my first BIG fish and it started me fishing again. I always fished but nothing serious. After that one I have been doing it ever since. I don't get there anymore but I do have a mount on the wall and a picture of me with a washboard stomach and a full head of brown hair. That was over 30 years ago but I remember that day like it was yesterday....

went out on sat. at the public access. ther were a few people there but no one did any good. i made three moves, out further and more in front of the caters cove beach, i usually do good there in the late summer early fall, but still no good. I was going to go in front of the canal yesturday but it was slushy as hell and it was way tooo easy to bore a hole in. I was alone and noone else was on the lake so i went back home..... was going to go out today but with 45 mph winds, i'm keeping my ass at home!!!!!!!!! I should be going tomarrow, will post after!!!!!!!!!
