LOL just trying to help out glenn,hope you spooled new line,and charged your flasher battery,pocket full of bobbers.....We retired guyz need reminding once in awhile.

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!!!!!!!

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?

[glenn57]

Hoping they meander out.   Yea I've been told about the night bite and I ain't looking to catch boar fish!

[Gunner55]

  Too big? They really fight & they'll give you something to do because every line down usually ends up in a tangled-up mess. Might want to take some extra line along.

[Jerkbiat]

5-1/2 to 6 hours depending on speed and how many stops you make.

[Gunner55]

We usually need at least 3, 2 for gas & 1 for something to eat.

no fish is too big for me!! I've caught enough of them on Winnie no longer interested. Until I actually eat some someone else caught and cooked I'll pass, thank you.

[Gunner55]

[glenn57]

Agreed Gunner,ole glenn is a self admitted tight arse....But hey glenn you can hit the igloo for the super bowl and still fish whilst bellied up having a pizza.

[glenn57]

I read next door that this MN fish group had earmarked #74,000 for public access restorations in the Chippewa national forest.

Wonder if they'd like my input!!

[Gunner55]

MnDOT currently has the roads from Bemidji/Squaw Lake on up not in the best of shape & with wind I wouldn't think they'd be getting much better. Be careful!!

[mike89]

yup have fun and safe travels!!!

My brother just sent me this picture.

[glenn57]

Behind that snow bank and tree there's a pole with 3 bird feeders on it somewhere.

[Gunner55]

No bucket used moving it here so ours is only chest high around the snow fence on the north side.

[LPS]

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.   

[glenn57]

LPS he has them in his wheelhouse too!!!

[LPS]

So he is a real good guy then.
