Good to hear from you Ironman. I'm not sure what is happening up there now at this time but I know last year they had an ice fishing contest a year ago this week end at Lake Pepin, part of the Miss. and had 2000 entries at $25.00 a pop and the winning and only fish caught was a .7 pound crappie. I wonder how many entries they had this year.
It was -1 at noon and it was suppose to get own to -12 tonight,,,,,, lets see,,,,, where would I rather not be catching fish.

We always go from Gulf Shores to J&M's that way and have only seen 3 dudes one time fishing it. I have asked at J&M if they ever catch anything out of there and they said not in the Winter time. It might be worth a shot, thanks, Chillin !

yea hard water fishing around here can be tough too for catching(at least for me) sometimes I would get lucky though with the inland bodies of water ....just commented to my Bride it was 68 degrees there yesterday, and I see 72 today....darn sure better then what we have been dealing with the past few weeks here.....I really need to move much closer before I am dead

Ironman, I'm glad to hear you're liking it out there, but I hate to think I'd have to go through the fall fishing without your company---bad enough that John the Pirate isn't with us any more, but if some of the regulars who have a choice, like you and Hogman, don't attend, the place won't be as much fun.

Flyguy, trying to send you a PM but your box is full. Clean a couple out.

some friends of mine have been down all month at the Caribe and have posted several reds and sheeps on facebook.i tried to pm also.hope it helps

Yo flyguy, this is John with J&M. Fishing around here this time of year can be more difficult than ice fishing in Minnesota during July.

John, do you guys have any VS250 for us wrong handed people?
