"unofficial" 2015 IDO Green Bay ice GTG

Gonna throw this out to see who would be up for it…

The dates:Feb 28 and Mar 1
The water:The great Green Bay
The species:Whitefish,Walleye or Perch

This is a great fishery…The Whitefish are willing biters,hard fighters and great table fare. There are also some BIG Walleyes in the bay with the better bites being sunup and sundown so a guy could fish wally’s in the morning and get a limit of whites during the day(which happens on a regular basis)and go out again for walleyes at dusk.

Since it is still early,the exact location is yet to be determined, but we will probably start out in the Sturgeon Bay area as a start.
It all depends on how many people want to do something like this before we can work out some details..

Please reply if you want do this and we will start planning…

Jeff

Count me IN.

Looks like I could be in as well!!!

Love to be included in any info on this and make it up to meet everyone!

Sounds like fun but it’s a bit too far for me to go for this.
If there are thoughts of doing another GTG a bit closer to the twin cities I might be game.

The wife and I are in.

I’m in for the 28th.

Sharpen your hooks on those #3 Rapala jigging shad raps in black and gold. The whitefish feed on gobies and are turned on by this color.

I would love to make the trip. So far those
dates work for me. How far out, do I need my
4wheeler/sled.

I am on board.

Good way to spend my €£ birthday.

I will have a pretty good line on what is happening.

I would anticipate the whitefish being deep, 30 and deeper.

Good bait choices will be jigging Shad raps, whitefish rigs and anything that imitates gobies.

Jigs and plastic are a good choice and what I will be working most of the time.

Pm me for more info.

Just remember that’s the weekend of Battle on Bago this year.

Mentioned it to the wife and she is already scouting out hotels!!! Looks like it is a definite go for me. I finish my 24 hour shift at 0800 on the 28th and will be coming up later that morning. I will be bringing my 4 wheeler as well.

If you are looking for a place to stay I’ve stayed at the Sand Bay Resort. Nice place to stay and fish cleaning house. Ice house rentals and the owner Dale S. guides also http://sandbaybeach.com/

My son and I are planning on it. Please keep me in the loop.

I may be in if we can get around with wheelers!

Aww come on over rat…gas is cheap now..bring a buddy to share to cost… If there is a MN GTG I’ll be there….
Sand Bay Resort is a good tip newoodhntr…thanks …the rates don’t look too bad either..besides that, you are right on the ice..lodging is one of the things I’ll look more into the next few weeks.
So much work to do..
I will update as I can….

I’m in…if I can get a ride out on the ice. I’ll throw some of my world famous chili in for the ride.

I’m too much of a puzzy to take my truck on the ice, and too much of a lazy ass to walk.

Chambers- I will make sure you get out there!!! I can pull my trailer with the 4 wheeler.

FYI. Dale and his wife at Sand Bay Beach Resort do have/offer special packages for the fishermen/women that stay there. They’re SUPER people and always willing to share good information. Even if you don’t stay there, they’ll do their best to direct you to where the bite is hottest and what’s working. It’s just the way they are. Even though I probably won’t be able to make it. I thought I needed to share this information with my IDO brothers and sisters.

It would be great to you see again bud
Bring that rascal kev with ya…..

Same to you Wats….Let us know how the hotel search goes…did you look at Sand Bay Resort at all?

As far as the questions about wheelers go…..by that time the ice should be plenty good….

I am a brand new participant but I have been watching the show for a few seasons now. I even got a “fun” job at a bait shop to get deeper into ice fishing. I would definitely make the hike from Madtown (Madison). Can NEWBS join in?

Ron

My wife and i are in for sure. When i told her about it about it she said hell ya we are going. we had to make a bet like we allways do. This time the bet is who ever gets the smallest fish has to streak the ice. For her sake i hope it is not to cold out because i dont plan on loseing this time. I will bring the bbq pulled pork and fixing for lunch
