I have a portable grill, gona grill up something. My buddy Bob has a propane stove he's bringing up. Tomorrow might be sketchy Mike, probably 4 inches of snow up there on top of whatever ice there is. No good way to know how thick it is. Definitely good to go by next week, 10 degrees or so overnight. YEA BUDDY!!!!

In regards to those big baits you mentioned, i presume they are not dead baits? How do you keep em' alive, in a giant cooler with an airator? Know a spot where could prob get some big suckers but not sure how to keep them for any lenght of time and transport them. i'd have get up to the spot a day or two before so any help would be great. Figured could put a couple on a stringer where i catch them but not sure the best idea is from there. Would like to try for muskie at Monksville next week.

Large rubbermaid container and 2 aerators. Keep the water cold and fill container with the water the fish came out of. Alot of Musky are caught threw the ice at Monksville on extra large shiners. You never know when your going to get 1 threw the ice. You just have to drill the lucky hole.

You ain't kiddin' He's on Fire two times out two huge pike! All the times i have been ice fishing never caught anything like them! Used to fish budd alot but haven't ice fished in many years so looking forward to next weekend!

I thought I would give you freshies a "woody"

Drove up to monksville this morning to have my coffee and check it out for you guys. It is almost completly covered in skim ice. Very little snow, but I wasn't goin out there to see how thick it was!

As far as big musky thru the ice, mt buddy pulled a monster thru two years ago.

I will see you guys there if I am not on the ocean

[FASTEDDIE29]

Yes sir, I just got back from a tour of northern NJ. Had my coffee at Monksville this morning. Ice, Ice everywhere!!! Its not safe yet but its a definite for next weekend. I walked down to the water and apparently somebody got wet feet. Whoever got the wet feet, hahahahahaha, be careful buddy. Everything is frozen over, just needs a few days to get solid. Do big dead baits work for the Musky as well? Im really not sure, never saw anyone catch a Ski on a dead bait. Anyhow, see you HARDWATER FREAKS out there.

Just wanted to remind all you hardwater guys, don't forget to purchase a 2013 license, it would a a shame to ruin a great day with some unnecessary problems. It would be the kind of thing I might do. I'm not an ice fisherman, but I'm going to try and drive up to meet some of you guys and see what I can learn. I'll bring a small trout rod and some worms, hope someone will drill me a hole.
