irishjigs Posts: 21 May 12, 2006 at 1:46 pm #445757 I’m kind of new to the site, but I’ll be out of Hunters staying in a fellow IDA member’s ice house. Good luck to all, and please be safe! By the way…will that bell be ringing in the bar at all tonight/tomorrow??

irishjigs Posts: 21 May 12, 2006 at 2:36 pm #445789 Thanks Ripper! Well…I guess you never know, but hopefully I’ll be on the lake or in the bar! I’ve used his place for the past 3 openers, and have had pretty good luck all 3 years!
kootyKeymaster 1 hour 15 mins to the PondPosts: 18101 May 12, 2006 at 3:59 pm #445843 Matt, get a gps transmitter planted in Mahoney’s boat!! If the fish are not biting, I plan to hit the formica bar. They are always biting there. P.S. Don’t recall who found this very isolated flat, but thanks for the GPS coordinates.

derek_johnston On the water- MinnesotaPosts: 5022 May 12, 2006 at 4:07 pm #445850 I talked to bobber this morning. Him and hooks caught 14 eyes on rascal flat. They were trolling cranks for crappies. Sounds like the bite is on.
farmboy1 Mantorville, MNPosts: 3668 May 12, 2006 at 4:26 pm #445857 I will be at Hunters as well. We will have a Crestliner and a Alumnacraft Trophy boat and 5 guys at a fishhouse as well. If you see us give a shout We will definitely be loud and obnoxious, but in a good way
