Keep in mind this report is from someone that might be considered a fisherman in his own mind. Four of us fished Upper Red from 1:00 PM Tuesday until 9:00 AM Thursday. We managed to catch a total of 2 jumbo perch. Sad catch but what the heck, we had a fun time anyway. We figured it had been 15 years since we were last up there. Used to go either there or LoTW every winter, sometimes both. I think we are going to start going every year again.

Been a tough year overall by Red's standards. I would have to say Mille Lacs has been way better this year. You need to have a little better handle on what you're doing on Mille Lacs though, it's not just a slaughter like Red has been the last few years.

We went out of Rogers. Rented from an outfit that goes through there. Were you part of that Ice Castle owners group that they had there over the weekend. Sounds like you need hockey gear on when your fishing with your wife.  :rotflmao: Guy at rogers said there was going to be over 1,000 Ice castles out there. One of the guys in our group sets the trips up all the time so when we were packing up to leave Thursday morning I suggested may be trying Cookies next year. We'll see what happens.

not just because hes a good freind but because i believe hes the hardest working guys on that lake, has the greatest houses, and will do alot for his customers. definatley give cookie a call. I was part of the ICOG group but we were well away from them, the key to red is fresh ice that hasnt be hit, and away from people. I see lower limits comeing for red. I cant see how it can sustain whats going on there. its insain.

This just can't be right? Did you guy try moving around at all? Or using bait, or putting your beers down long enough to put your rods in the water?  confused-3316.gif
Cooking over a open fire is all fun and games until someone losses a wiener!

No we were not mobile. We were stuck in the fish house we rented. The booze was flowing but if you knew how we fish I don't think that had any impact on our results.  burp-402.gif Even when we were sleeping(passed out),  :tequila; we still had 7 rattle reels baited and in the water. The eighth hole didn't have one.

If you go again rent from cookie. When we rented from him he eagerly moved us when the fish didn't cooperate!
