Where are ya staying? Years back,we stayed at ships wheel resort,young couple ran the place,good folks,they told us to come back mid febuary,bring just one tipup,he said the pike usually are running in mid feb at the mouth of rainy under the ice,two tip ups would be to much work trying to keep up

Just got off the phone with my friend. We are staying on the lake in his wheelhouse.

Sounds like we will be going out of zipple bay resort. I did mention to him what JB said to go as far out as possible, and he seemed game. We shall see.

so i did a deeper dive into this weather.........looks like it doesnt really start til about 1 pm.......we should be pretty close or on the lake by then. not sure how far of a drive it is but we are leaving Monticello by 6 am!!!!!!! :happy1:
Yeah, the TWC's hourly is sayin maybe 11, more like noon for us. Google Maps says it's pretty close to 300 miles & 5 hours to Zipple Bay Resort from Monticello. So, with any luck you should be OK.

Quite the adventure glenn,rule of thumb on LOW icefishing,lake shuts's down fish wise at sunset,then it's game on once the sun rises above the eastern treeline,however you might stick a pout sniffin around in the evening after it get's dark, dark stained water...is why

You hooking up with JB or LP?

Snow mentioned the Igloo out of Zipple Bay.  You can rent a hole and fish whilst in there for $5.  There are some Lindell Ice Rigs there too.   :sleazy:
