FishErie Freezeout 2010 Update

We're just a few days away! I wanted to update a few items for this Saturday:

I will park just off the stink hole and mark my suv with a large FishUSA logo. I will be on the ice around 6:30 a.m. and will mark my hut (Blue Clam Jr.) with a large "Don't Tread On Me" flag (Yellow). You wont miss it. Sign-in at my hut between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m., fishing starts at 8 a.m. and ends at Noon. We will all meet at my hut at 12:30 for prizes and awards.

A steelhead won biggest fish last time. If you catch a steelie and dont want to keep it, bring it to my hut for measurement and we put it back. All other fish will be keepers and we will measure and count fish at 12:30. Bring a bucket.

Also, I will not be keeping food in my hut so everyone please work together and plan if you are bringing food.

There is no fee to join in, just sign up by Friday afternoon.

If anyone has any other questions, send me a pm.

Jay I'll be there Sharing Wormwasters hut

Skip, you gonna be my drinkin partner? I'll be there about 6:30.

Look for the Flask in my pocket  LOL

If I wasnt workin Id be there.   Have fun guys.  I wanna see pics of what I missed.  

I hope we don't get skunked.......we have had terrible luck this year.

Hey, just wanted to let everyone know, I had a chili makin' party last night...



I think there should be plenty for all, I've never ran out at a gathering yet.
I have enough bowls/cups/spoons for around 4 dozen people. Enough chili for at least 100 bowls.
Feel free to bring your favorite bowl or spoon.

A couple things....
*B.Y.O.T/R* ~ Bring Your Own Tums or Rolaids...
antacids WILL NOT be provided.
Speaking of antacids, it might be a bit much for kids, or those who don't like spices....
it's not too hot, just....bold.
If this includes you...sorry, bring a can of tomato soup, I have a single burner stove you can use to warm it on.
Any food allergies, feel free to ask...but I ain't givin' the recipe out...without serious persuasion.

I'll be set up in the general proximity of Jay (eyeofhorus) I'll be in all camo w/ a red & black hat.
I figure a good time to eat would be following the fish weigh in at 12:30.
Sound good?

Looking forward to it.

Hello,
I'm a LECOM student but I fish a lot when I have free time. I've been following this ice fishing forum all winter long and am going to come out Saturday morning to meet some of the people who have provided such nice reports all year.

This year was my first try at ice fishing and unfortunately I haven't had much luck but I enjoy the fishing none the less. I remain hopeful that tomorrow morning will finally be my day. I look forward to meeting you all.

Dave I was just out and they are fine  Just a little snow covered  Never had to hit the 4WD

davef, I have the same prob don't know if I can go our road got shutdown

The roads here in Erie do not seem to be icy, but there is alot of snow. Who knows with the weather here. It could turn out to be nice tomorrow. I know the wind has been north/west this week. That always seems to get good things coming out of the water!

I'm home as well my fishing buddy has a pretty nasty cold.

Lunch time, good chili Pork!!!

I had a great time. Thank you Fish USA. I got a rod for Female prize, and nice signed Fishing Book. The snow was blowing hard, but all in all a good day to be out.

Im sorry i missed it.I just couldnt make the snowy trip again up 79.140 miles one way after the big snow 2 weeks ago just couldnt do it again!I love fishing the bay and enjoy the company.I love winter but im really sick of shoveling snow.
