Icefishing Gathering |
Lead | |
|
I'm going icefishing (hopefully) and would like to organize a MTCATS gathering. Here's the dates: I will be in Glasgow December 23rd-25th. I think it
would work out best for everyone if we had the gathering on the24th. I was hoping to do this gathering on Fort Peck Resevior. If there is no ice there we
will go to Nelson resevior. If there's no ice on Nelson, we can find a spot somewhere else (base trout pond, Dredgecuts pond, or any number of other ponds)
I was thinking we could put tip-ups in and have a bar-b-que to pass our time. This will be a good opportunity to meet other members and shoot the breeze about
catfish techniques, spring fever, etc. I tried this last year, but no one came. Post your name up and add to the list if you would like to join in this MTCATS
icefishing gathering. Keep checking back to see where the final decision for location and time will be.

After some consideration the final destination is Nelson Resevior. We will meet at Sleeping Buffalo "resort" at 7 AM. Lunch and local fishing tips
at 12:30 PM. Lets go out and catch some hardwater fish.

hate to give up some spots however fish the west end near $hit house bay (that is the name of the bay), for some reason or another at first ice we seem to
hammer the eyes. I have fished it with only 4'' kind of spooky, however its killer. Watch for gas pockets. Wish I could make it, family,presents, or
ice fishing.... think I would get shot if I skipped out.. good luck, plan to hit nelson as soon as I can.

Not sure yet which day I will be rolling into Glasgow this year, but I think it will be on the 24th, so I doubt I will be making it to Nelson that day. probably be out on the 26th though. Similar to Jetcraft, we have also done well on the West end near sh*t house, but have also done well even farther west towards the canal. Good point with that gas pocket too...it always seems to ice over just enough to blend in...not positive, but I think it is on the north shore, east of the bay. I have a couple of cousins that will surely be fishing as soon as they can, so I will try to keep you guys posted. Good luck! |

If I remember correctly it runs accross the bay, on the east side, it should still be open. I have fished it with close to a foot and still had the gas
pockets open. Good luck guys, at least someone bring some ice picks just for safety reasons. 3'' is enough and it should be alot more by the 24th.
Its been cold....

I made it to Glasgow this evening and will be headed out for the gathering Wednesday morning. I will have us meet in front of sleeping buffalo lodge at 7 AM.
I will stay until 7:30 for any stragglers. It should be a good time and a great opportunity to meet up with other members and catch some fish. Hope to see
you all there. I drive a green Toyota Tacoma. Anyone else you would like to bring is welcome.
