[DE82]

First back I'm guessing, wan't out as long as the other guys, First let me say Hank I'm sorry I didn't call you, we did hit the raft my phone was screwy and went dead before I tried to call.

Fishing was slow, I got about 12 fish caught, 4 total keepers between my Dad and I, gave those to Mr. Wagner who wasn't having any problems getting fish :lol: Nice to meet all of you, company was good, fishing was slow.

Glow Purple was the hot ticket today...if you want to call anything a hot ticket :lol: Glow Shiner got fish too -Bryon

[ficious]

I jealous, even a bad day on the ice is better than ANY day at work. Wish they would have been biting better for you guys.

Harry

HarryWish you could've been out with us Harry, would made the trip better for sure. Keep me posted next time you wanna go out.

I forgot to mention creemsicle got some fish too, I'm really liking the look of that bait. I hope this weather doesn't kill the ice - Bryon

[Ticketripper]

I met up with the gang today for the first time. Good mix of young pups and us silent farts. Cool people having a good time. 1-10-08 got to make it.

[Mark Sylvester]

I agree on the fishun' , but the company was great.;)
I FINALLY met Mr. Joeker! For some reason I thought he was going to be a fairly intelligent larger guy.....Turns out he's neither!!!:yikes::evil::lol:

Nice to meet all of you. I am sure looking forward to the 10th for the "Meat and Great" here in "Slyville":dizzy:

[tinmarine]

Tried a couple different spots before I called it a day. Nothing special to report. In fact, the report sucks.:rant: That's alright, it was nice to get out and put faces to names. Too bad I missed Sly and Bryon, but it's still early yet. Hopefully the warm spell doesn't mess things up too bad, would like to head out to SANG in the near future. Really nice to be fishing. Nice relaxer after the holidays.

[jiggineyes]

I headed out at Cotton Rd this morning. Got a nice mixed bag. Brought home about a dozen perch and 15 gills. Got 5 real nice gills around 9 inches and the rest about 8. The small perch kept me busy in the slow downs! Threw back 30 or so. You guys who like the gills got to get down there sometime if you want a change of pace. Last year i limited on the gills quite a few times with some nice crappie ixed in too. The way the lake is changing the weed beds have doubled in the last few years and made for a real good spot for gills!

First let me say even for us select few it was "Slooooooooow" fishing, This was a great bunch of guys to fish with, Sticknstring, Joeker, Mark "SLY", Fish Fanatic Jr. and his buddy, DE82 and his dad, Ticketripper, and my good buddy "Tinmarine" The company made the day the fish were just extra. Mike

[Mark Sylvester]

You guys need to hear the story as to how Ticketripper got his handle!!! Very funny!!!

They road together......hmmmmmmmmm.......they caught fish..hmmmmmmmm....whats up with that. Young fella learn a few trick from an ole dog or what.:16suspect

[Ticketripper]

Yea even a broken clock is right twice a day:lol:

[stinger63]

Good job on the fish ticket tripper.I hope to get out when the cold weather moves back in I hope the raft ice survives this warm and rainy weather.

[Ticketripper]

I'm thinking maybe Tuesday.

[Michael Wagner]

Yep, "Glow Purple" was the ticket for the bigger ones, 91/2" and 9" gills and a 12" perch but my old faithful "Glow Bug Eye" still caught the most. Mr "Ticketripper" had a very nice bucket of fish. Joe I offered to drill you a hole next to mine and lend you a "lucky Rod" :lol::lol:

[DE82]

Good job on the fish ticket tripper.I hope to get out when the cold weather moves back in I hope the raft ice survives this warm and rainy weather.For what it's worth the rain wasn't no where near as bad as they were saying...shocking right :evil: Not even half the snow has melted at my house. Let me tell you working D-line drills and speed rushes in this crap isn't fun :rant:

Joeker, don't you know you're supposed to have EVERY color/type Mr. Ficious makes :lol: That way you never have that problem :evilsmile

[Joeker51]

Dont think the bad weather is finished yet Bryon more heavy rain tonight along with very strong winds overnight and tommorow are still yet suppose to happen.Worse yet overnight lows in the upper 30`s to around 40* will probaly do some more melthing.
At my place the snow is melted and im surrounded by a giant lake just needs some fish:lol:

[Michael Wagner]

I need more geritol, it would have been real lucky when I got home if I did`nt fall asleep in the chair :evilsmile:evilsmile:evilsmile

[fish fanatic jr.]

Joe let me know the next time you go out again had a great time and i think we have another member now (dylan). Now we know where mike was getting all them gills:evil:.

[Joeker51]

Okay Nick. You're buddy needs to dress a tad bit warmer me thinks.:16suspect Was getting cold just watchin him shiver at first light.:lol:

Think the ice is gonna hold stinger. Was anywhere from 4 - 8 inches in places.

[Ticketripper]

Well it's the last time I leave the ice early for some sexy voice on the cell. Remember a fish swimming in the lake is still possible to catch.:evilsmile

[Joeker51]

I hope there is still an opening available.If you were there watching us all sit around not getting much you wouldn't call us greats :lol: Seriously though, I just love being out there and with friends is all the better, I just about always learn from one of them when I'm out

[Mark Sylvester]

WWWAAAHHHEEEEE!!!!!!!

Sly

[fish fanatic jr.]

I dont think hes made one yet mark he even took my shanty near the end couldnt just let him freeze ya know.

[Joeker51]

[sticknstring]

If you were there watching us all sit around not getting much you wouldn't call us greats :lol: Seriously though, I just love being out there and with friends is all the better, I just about always learn from one of them when I'm out

I learned Sly is one rod short:lol: (still dont know how you found it in the reeds) The price of a hot jig triples when Wagner is the one with it. And a good day on the ice with those guys is very hard to beat. :D

[Michael Wagner]

If we had power and the batteries on this laptop were`nt about to die and it was warmer in here, I would tell you what an expert I am :lol::lol: but since it`s not I will say anyone of us could have drilled those two holes and caught the fish I did. Joe I had aluminum foil under my hat so those GPS numbers might not be very close :evilsmile I drive 2 hrs. to fish with these guys because of the company not the fish we catch, but as soon as we have power I`m having a heck of a fish fry :evil::evil::evil: Mike

[fish fanatic jr.]

the company was good not so muxh fish and yeah how did you find that rod amrk?:16suspect

[Ticketripper]

Am I missing something here?:confused: 2hr drive to fish with this group.:yikes: I thought I was crazy driving 35 miles.:D

[sticknstring]

If you ask Joeker it has something to do with us being....hillfolk..:lol::lol:

[Michael Wagner]

It`s been said before "God only gave me so many mornings" and I wont be missing many :evil: and really whats worse hanging out with these guys or watching Operah :yikes: Mike

[fish fanatic jr.]

If you ask Joeker it has something to do with us being....hillfolk..:lol::lol:
