We just decided to go yesterday and we know zero about the area, the fishery, and the ice conditions. With the economy none of us had a very good year, and no we cant afford a guide, not to mention the short notice. Chris’s response definetly guarntees him a chance to guide us someday if we get on some fish from his advice. I have been drooling to do a crappie trip with him. Sorry for wanting to be safe and catch some fish to eat in an area that we know nothing about. Apparently I am stealing his GPS coordinates and that is just to offensive for you. We could just go to Red lake again and spend our money there if this is the attitude we are going to encounter.

Chris thanks for all the info. I will make sure and tread lightly and check the ice good before I put the perm. down. We dont have sleds for our portables, but if I have to I will pull it a mile across the lake. Hope to see you at the One Stop.
