RJ, I just sent you any PM!! Also calling Jimmy!!!!

Backin:

The only lake I ever told you about not using a power auger was Moreau Lake.  I don't know where you got Lake Lonely out of that.  Can't make Sunday gathering, as I have to officiate an all-day girl's volleyball tournament at Shen H.S..   Hope all have a great day and I'm sure Hot Tuna will put you guys right where you need to catch fish and have a fun time.

rj and the gang,
 
                    just wanted to thank you guys for a great time today. not a lot of luck, but plenty of stories and good times. it was good to actually fish somewhere different for a change. it was nice to finally put faces with names. i am definitely interested in the next trip we discussed today and will call you this week about the gas auger. i am definitely bailing on a lot of the tourneys this year and doing a lot more open fishing in different areas for a change. finally, i gotta gives props to backin79, not only did you trek 3.5 hours from jersey, but you bought a s**t load of food and a great attitude my friend. can't wait to get out there again and knock 'em dead this time.

Hey just got back, I exited woodstock, over the mt to spend the night at bros.. had leftover sausage sanwichs! got my lazer and sled help bro do a few house upkeeps..around 1pm  heading back to nj I exited rt 17  passed white lk. it was locked up.. went to a nearby lk. state park , lazered a half dozen holes over 4 " thick ice , I had yet a half dozen shiners and would you know they went within an hr. using just two tipups! guess it was 3:30pm sun setting , the perch were hitting fast. Everything I caught was small, one small pickerel too, I was fishing 30' water right off the bottom! the 1/32 chrome kastmaster worked the best. left there 1/2 after sunset..Had a great time, hoping it stays ice for this weekend! Thanks again for the fun time and your welcome steve! RJ , nice ADK pics! haha

Ed, look forward to trying saratoga this year if I can find the time and if the weather is right!. I have a feeling we are going to have a normal winter and long ice. Who said loon?.. that was a back woods adk lake!  anyway, tuna knows the spot.. Hey tuna I jimmy rigged that handle with 10" gauge copper and it is as good as new buddy!  would like to get my friend up there at least once this season if all goes well. Understandably,, if the freeze sticks down here,beyond a doubt we are going to try the ponds here that haven't been icefished in years. Good luck to all and a happy 09 on ice!

looks like fun wish i could've been there, any plans for the next one?
