I'm there, Blue Fish trap. M-S.com hat. Channel 8 see ya then.

for those wondering about ice conditions and building qucikly!!!

If Im not stuck here at work on saturday, I would be interrested in meeting you guys up there. I should know today if we are working or not.

Look for a old fish trap 2, with older fisherman, that will be me. I'll be on ch 8.

.... but i can't make it this weekend (12/20) but I'm still planning on being up there the weekend after Christmas (27th & 28th), Hope some of you will be back and we can "hook up"! (bad pun)

I'll be looking for the report from this weekend! Tight lines!

Anyone have any idea when someone's going to pick a date for the outing on HL?

I'd like to try and get up there this weekend. Where do you get bait (minnows)? Think the ice will be sledable (as in snowmobile)?

Where will you be? Saturday will be my first time out. Wasn't up last weekend, so I have no idea on the ice. I hope to get the quad out, if it is extra safe (I'm a chicken). On my side (Cut River area) it's a fair ways to walk. Do you leave from the boat launch site by the drug store? (Rite Aid?)

speaking for myself, I'm just riding along with ozzgood2001 and do not know where the heck i'm fishing......hope to find someone on the radidio. south dnr boat launch.

I think we will be there around 7am.

Say when, and I'll show up with a bucket of minnows. Sportsman resort 500' from my front door sells 'em. DNR launch is close to the Rite Aid, right?

You just may be able to talk me into it. Let me see what the boss says, hard to get away just before christmas. But we'll see!....Patch

Saturday in the am , sounds like a plan. South end or east-bay access ? I`ll be hauling an ul Frabill. Not sure about bring`n the sportsman yet.May trailer it in case its thick enough??? If someone can give us a heads up on the ice...Thanks.

well with a few guys we can meet up saturday morning i plan on stopping at lymans for bait then hitting the lake should be near 7-ish lets pick a spot then maybe a local MSer can show us some fish! south dnr launch all good by me someone that knows the lake better could point us to a good staring point. im not bringing my sleds. im walking along with scotty

call ahead for ice conditions, heard some rumors two guys took a bath at the east bay, and north point on the west side opened up. call some one first lyman's or korbinski's. like i said just heard it today and havn't been down there latey. b.b.

my plans just changed so I will be there sat. I will get there around 8 so I will give a shout on the radio and see if I can hook up with you guys.

I will probably be alone pullin' my old black sled with my gear, no shanty this time hope to see you out there.

Hey Burksee,
Me and a few buds (and a few friends) will be up to Houghton Lake on the 27th (ice permitting) and would like
to hook up with someone who knows the Lake a little better
than us. Were gettin a late start but plan on staying after dark
for some Eyes! Let me know if ya want to hook up and show us how it's done!

It looks like I will be out there also tomorrow. I keep and ear on channel 8 also. If I get into them, I will give a yell.

Sounds great. I'll pull a Fish Trap Guide. Fished the lake for many years, but never on the South side. Look forward to it. 7:00 might be a little early, but I'll shoot for it. Channel 8 on the radio. I'll bring a camera, for posterity (sp).

Where is Houghton Lake? I can come up in the afternoon if you think you'll still be around. This will be my first ice outing ever so I'd like others to be around. I'd leave Waterford at 1pm or so.
Thanks!
