James,

We are heading to Mille Lacs this weekend…..

Ten man sleeper shack and we have and extra bunk if you want in?

Might make a good episode – – not sure about fishing but could be entertaining.

Sounds like IDO’s first “ice drinking” episode in the making.

Sadly I need to decline the very generous offer. In my ongoing effort to be the best husband I can be the wife and I have Valentine’s Day plans that extend into the weekend. Good luck up there!

Understandable…..

We are going out of Appledoorns on the south East side – – Any tips?

What to look for on the fishsmart app?

Thanks

Finally heading out this weekend fellas – – I will let ya know how the fantasy Ice fishing turns out…..

HAHA

Heading to Mille Lacs this weekend………Anything is worth a shot!!

I have had slow days and tried everything and usually they bite on the weird thing at least once.

Seven year old son throws on all kinds of lures on the batman pole and usually outfishes me!! HAHA

awesome thanks

Will do

Perch bite??

Thanks for the info. I will respool more line on tomorrow. I have caught many catfish in the 20 to 30 lb. Range so I’m excited to see how this compares.

They are not even close. Catfish is a big but lazy fish…..
Saltwater fish can swim and swim fast and a long time……

I would just be comfortable catching anything…….don’t target one fish because it is hard to find that one type usually

Take a lot of bait – – -squid always work well for a variety of species when anchored. (don’t drop anchor on the reefs expensive lesson)

I have gone a lot fishing by Fort Myers and it depends what you are fishing for.
Dramamine works great get the chewables and pop two before you go and you will be fine. Don’t be to hungover!! that helps too.

Shark is easy and an awesome fight – – metal leaders needed
grouper are great eaters and fun to catch
snook,snapper, all fun to catch and easy if the weather is bad and to many waves you don’t have to go to far out for them.
Trolling is awesome if you catch fish – – king fish, Cuda, tuna, they have it all but you can spend hours trolling and nothing.

Hey guys,

How do you set up your set lines? Thanks

Thanks for the info…….

We have always kept track of the fish on a white board. Assuming the shack has one hung up. We got the ten man shack from Appledoorns. What should I request from them for placement?

Spear house? Any thoughts we thought maybe one day/night of that if it was worth it?

The Tutts seems interesting. . .Do they still produce it?

I have to admit I like the old school way of doing things.

Thanks for the info

Apple smartphone and a Garmin GPS – –

pailofperch – – I hope we catch that many fish!!!

MidFeb can be tough so the goal is to keep us a little interested.

Anyone think the musky value is to high? We have never caught one through the ice.

Also thoughts on Appledoorns? Thanks

Where did you rent your house from last year? We are trying to find a good place to rent from.

Thanks

Eelpout – we thought about adding that.

As far as the scoring system, we have a computer programmer so he will have a program where you just put in the fish and it adds it up for you. We are going like Mid-Feb so the fishing might not be to hot!!

We rented a 10 man house and might do a little day fishing trying to find some.

Thanks and keep the ideas coming please – – HAHA

Mille lacs has good bottle bass bite that time of year.

HAHA – – There will be plenty of those caught.

How does the spear fishing work? We have a few interested in that. Tips or thoughts?

Thanks

One of the group members – went to Appledoorns once and said it was nice. Thoughts??

Yeah only option is late season – Have gone to Upper Red and Lake of the Woods a few times and just trying something new.

What should we try to target at that time?

Thanks

We usually go silver spoon or orange colored rattle spoon with a minnow head only on it. Try all different kinds of weights with it.
