LOL,, I think its getting close but not quite yet.. I'm waiting for a tall blond bird to herd em up so we can surround em,, LMAO!!
Yeah its shamefully to get burnt out on those Cuts but as you well know Icing Mac does tend to spoil a person.. LOL!
Right now my options are pretty open for Saturday and even tho' I'm a little burnt out on dah Berry (done it 10 times this mouth), let me know where you guys plan to be Saturday..
Regardless whether I make it there or not,, Best of Luck,,Hope you guys all knock em dead!

Don, is that whinning I hear? I've heard whinning before and it sounds a lot like that. Here's how the phone conversation would go.

CF: I'm tired of catching 4 pound fish.

IFG: So go to the Gorge.

CF: It ain't froze yet.

IFG: You went last year and it wasn't froze yet.

CF: But I'm older and wiser, besides I'm sober now.

IFG: Forget the meetings, grab a jug and head north old timer.

CF: But bad things might happen.

IFG: What's the worst thing that could happen?

CF: I might die?

IFG: 40 pound Mack.

CF: But I could die!

IFG: 40 pound MACK!

CF: I'm sure there is gas in the sled, I'll have to check the oil, fish finded is charged and the Onion in Moutain View opens at 9.

IFG: That's the spirit, now go and get them, I'll be right behind you. I've got your back buddy.

CF: I need somebody to get my front.

IFG: You don't use that part anymore anyway.

Sound of a dial tone.

[cool][#0000ff]Man, this stuff puts a strain on mods. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Not worth a ban, but maybe a rude noise or two. Did you hear that?[/#0000ff]

call my freind last night. he told me he stoped on the way home and walked down the ice to talk to the fishermen. they had 6 browns and some perch right before dark the eyes came in they were taking a red jighead tipped with a half crawler. there was only 2 guys fishing one gave him a pole and he took 4 eyes in 20 min then it shut off.

Sounds good! Thanks!!

Seriously, have Austin call me. I'd take advice from Big Bird if it helps me to get a big Bow out of da Berry.

IFG

there are some nice fat bows on the ramp at aspen. white marraboo tipped with salmon eggs works good on the also litle tough guys tipped with waxie and a egg. as soon as it starts melting the bows are thick on that ramp. berkley power grubs in crayfish kills every yr. dead slow half inch at a time 5 to 10 seconds between each jig move. we hit it every yr on that spot just to catch fat bows.

You guys crack me up! Anyways, about starvation, I'll be headed up there soon to check on trailer, might have to do some fishing at the same time. Eyes-you said your friend talked to some people, what part of the lake and did he say how thick the ice was?
[signature]

Oh yeah? Well take a damn number pal cause I'm still waiting for his advice concerning those bitty bow's.

As far as Big Bird, well good luck there too.. Me G-laddy tells me it found itself stuff down Barny's throat last week. How that damn Bird got there me G-laddy aint sayin' but I'll miss that big guy.

I'm sure I can answer part of your question. they were at the dam I'm pretty sure. there's a small spot just off the dam that the walleye come up to feed on. it's about 50 feet deep, and I do mean small spot. if your 10 feet away from the spot you will be 10 feet away from the walleye and thats the way it will be. no bites no nothing, beleve me I learned this the hard way, watching my friends catch about 8 walleyes and I had no bites at all. for about 30 minutes still nothing, I moved right next to them and I caught 3 in just a few minutes then the bite shut off. find that spot and you will score.
I don't know how thick the ice is. hope all this helps later chuck
[signature]

didnt ask him how thick. he is a ice wuss if its not at least 4 inches he is spooked. they he was by the bridge. and that spot by the dam is forty or so yrs from dam face and about 100 west of the dam building. that bite last about 1 hr and like chuck said its done...

I've jigged there in the open water, but I'm an ice wuss myself. I wouldn't go out there unless I knew for sure. Just something about the security of a boat on open water rather than walking on thin ice{{{{{{{gives me the chills, I think I'll hold off till may.

Give the park a call .. the last time I was by there you could still put a boat on it...
