Chris,
My girlfriend an I got the last shack at Hunter, so will be tearing it up on Friday and Saturday night, if any one sees a red chevy 4by4 with a big Shimano sticker and In-depthangling sticker on the topper, stop by and have a cold one . P.S. Does anyone know what some of the prizes are for the tourney? I’ll be there around 3:30 on Friday , George said the shack was out on the flats, so look out perch here we come.

Good for you……..George has had more prizes every year…getting better each year. Lots of cash prizes, new gas augers, guns, tv’s etc…….it’s a good time! The resort has good food also…..

Ill be up there this weekend for hunters and next weekend for Liberty.Some of the prizes are usually power augers,fish locators,TVs,guns,cash etc.I think last years grand prize was a trip for 2 to Vegas but usally changes from year to year.

Has,
we will be close by. You may regret telling us where you will be!
Tuck

Chris,
Stop by, and grab a drink, we’re in rental house 2, out on the flats. I doubt will regret tell you, we’re still young. Are you renting a house? Also does Hunters have breakfast, in the morning? Also I might share my girlfriends secret for catching fish. It won us some good prizes in RedWings ice fishing contest last weekend.

Hey you got enough boze for one more (If not I will have to buy a round in the bar) and yes Hunters has breakfast and is is goooood from the many times I have eaten there

I am out of the warf and my shack is on 2 1/5 mile or look for a truck with shadow grass window tint

I think the auger would spin him around like a top! Oh well, he needs to learn sometime! I’ll bring extra gas. Refer to my “Silent but deadly” post on the General dis.
LOL! Smuggler, the race is on!
Tuck

Tim, you got room for another? Just kidding. I’m going to try holing up with Jim if he is coming. Winston just got back from Winnie so I doubt mama will let him go although he is up for Liberty. Do I need to bring onions and peppers?

Tuck, if you want to take your silent but deadly to the next level, I can bring some lutey.

Hey Putz,

Jim was saying you and Winston will be up for Liberty. We will have the grills going, always do. It’s tradition!
We can tell stories about the Liberty tourney from years past when the wives would come out and fish with us. We had one where the high was -15 degrees 20 mph wind out on 7 mile. The girls sat in the fish houses and the guy kept there beers on the grills to keep them from freezing. It was shortly after that one the gals started staying in and just going to the raffles.

Putz, thanks for the offer! I get enough guff from these guys for eating tulibee! Not to mention I prefer Shorelunch to drain cleaner!
Tuck

Smoked tulibee, crackers, and beer. Mmm-mmm. I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to fish locally this weekend and play with my new Marcum 400 so it’s ready for Liberty Beach next weekend. See you guys then.

HAS, you are a lucky one!!! George moved your rental house over to my hot spot today! We will be right out the back side of your rental first thing in the morning …..early…..Saturday. I know we will be starting there forsure may move depending on what I get Friday in another spot. You should have some small walleye action and more perch than you want to deal with in your house……..I hope!

I just got off the lake from a early morning perch run…..I kept 6 jumbo’s and lost a monster that got caught on the bottom of my ice hole not much you can do when there’s 30 inches of ice. This was one that made all others loook small. Thats just the way it goes……no bull

Cool, I haven’t been up to Mille Lacs yet this winter. Everyone tells me that it isn’t worth it. Lets prove them wrong and catch some jumbos. Just stocked up on some more gear at Fleet Farm. Now all I need is bait, does Hunter’s sell it, or should I stop at Petery’s in Finlasin(sp)a.k.a the stickle back capital of the world. The count down has begun.

No minnows at Hunters..stop b4 you get to the lake. See Ya Saturday…….

Bobber,
Do we need a auger extension???

Not unless you are drilling in a perm.house…..I think I still 8-12 inches left as I cut through…….not snow left on the flats…..I’ve been driving around pretty good with a 4X4 truck. You have to watch out for some drifts.

anybody want to get together relitively speaking that is friday night or evering for one

Tuck hope you got a LEAD FOOT

for any late runners try 65 bait just south of mora he will set you up 24-7 just ring the bell at the stores front door.

me and a buddy are going to be sleeping out in one of my dads sleepers today and tommrow. we want to catch some pouts so we can try to eat them. anyone want to share how we cook them? and also how would you recommend catching them? we were thinking chicken livers. anyways… not going to be in the tourny but would love to catch a pout. ny suggestians?

Minnow and a bobber. Pout are predator eaters just like walleye. Thats why its important to release them if your not going to eat them. They help to keep the bait fish in check

Cooked pout:

Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add some Old Bay crab boil(Isle super value should have it) and some fresh sliced lemon. Cut Pout meat into chucks and place in boiling water for about 5 minutes max. Dip meat into melted butter and garlic when done.

thanks derek. i hope to catch 1 or 2 tonight. i hear they are pretty tasty.

I use a Sunbeam steamer for pout and tulibee. Works great!
Tuck

Sunbeam Steamer? Sounds interesting, got any pics Tuck?
