smerchly Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Jack ......you have been away from the ice too long ....... you need a downrigger there ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morwood80 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Sounds fun. Rec Canal has lots of room and easy to find parking. Erie Tracker isn’t to far away for minnows. 2018 wasn’t a good year for me in terms of getting out but hoping 2019 has more tight wet lines😜 International Flat water center has tons of parking but the fishing is better dain city side. Distance Markers on dain city side would make it easy to find each other. If u don’t catch any fish there’s always the random puppies walking into ur hook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalleyeChaser Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm in for sure either date is fine.. wknds r best but I could do evenings since I'm finally off afternoons after 9 yrs... I'll bring some 420 supplies.. as for giveaways I think you did plenty saving this forum so a great day fishing and celebrating your ownership is plenty for me.. bbq would be a good idea.. could talk to Shawn at tendercuts bet he'd hook us up....

fishingking Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 A few years ago in dain city i fished straight in line with the 2000 marker and had a couple really good outings.i fished in the center 30 ft deep to half way to shore with tip ups in about 15 fow.jigging raps tipped with heads or smaller minnows .we caught about 50 nice keepers 10 " plus a few pike one was 10 pounds + and two 3 pound smallies which were just an awsome fight through the ice.it has its days !

A bbq would be nice. Jwl said he had a small bbq of some sort. Maybe someone else bring one if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler0420 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 We’ll do it Feb 16th. Rec canal 7:00am. The time can be moved later if it’s too early. I’ll be there before that. Chime in on a parking/meeting spot for everyone, I have only seen this place on google maps. If you have any ideas to make this day better let me know. Thank you everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_b Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I will try to make it; it would be nice to meet up. Is that going to be on the long weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genec Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm in for Feb. 16th. (provided my auger is fixed by then!!) As suggested, how about meeting at the 2000 marker on the Rec canal? Erie Tracker doesn't open until 9:00, but they will do minnows in oxygen if you want to get them the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come either way, auger or not. There will be more then enough augers around. You can definitely use mine. 2000 marker? Is there a parking lot there? Or some kind of side road I can google?

I can check the parking situation at the 2000 marker on the way home if it's not too dark . I'm really excited for this, only problem is I don't have the first idea about ice fishing, I got my stepson a nice wooden tip up for xmas I can pinch and I can get myself a entry level rod/reel just to see how I like it. I could do with advice on what line to buy and a small basic tackle selection etc please. EDIT- I totally and devastatingly just remembered I have knee surgery (torn meniscus) on the 4th so I don't know if I'll be confident I would be on ice at that point, I have yak trax so I might be ok, time will tell... Even if I can't get on the ice if i'm able to drive I'll be down to meet up, maybe start on the food or help out if possible. I went and checked and there's ample parking at the 2000/finish line, it seems a bit icy at the moment though, and just a reminder that dain city bridge is still closed for the forseeable.

Jwl1 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm sure some of us dont mind sharing a few minnows....not the good ones that catch fish though..and definitely no sharing tactics....🤐🙈🙉🙊..you dont "need" a fancy set up for ice fishing....practically only need a hook sinker and spool of line.....I got no prob snipping the barbs off a couple hooks or bringing a pocket full of nuts and bolts if someone needs some tackle.
