There's a rumor that a guy in Helmetta makes the best broccoli rabe and sausage this side of the pond... But maybe that's one too many sausage dishes???

Heard he also makes a serious brisket... It ain't kosher though!

Hoping to be there rippin metal and soaking foot longs drenched in oils!

I might actually be able to make it. If so I'll be cooking also.

Hi Guys

New to the site, avid open and hard water fisherman. If the weather cooperates I might be able to make spruce run although its a bit of a hike as I live in Vernon. Never fished it before, can you give me a heads up on the depth we would most likely be fishing and what were targeting? Also, are gas powered augers allowed?

Thanks,

Jim

Welcome to the site Jim.

Gas augers are allowed as far as I remember. Depth will be anywhere from 10 to 50 feet depending on how ice is and how far we will venture out. Based on location we are going I guess primary target will be pike as far as fish goes and just some good ol company with the lunatics here.

To give a better idea see the fishing map below:

Thanks for the response, where will you guys be meeting and parking? Also, most of the lakes I fish don't have pike although they are loaded with pickerel. I am not a fan of steel leaders as I believe it lessens the amount of hits you get. I fish heavy fluro leader usually 20# or more and really don't have break offs with pickerel. Do you fish wire or mono for pike?

Thanks,

Jim

i think the experienced guys here use 80 flouro. I've seen that cut clean in half instantly by what i can only assume was a huge musky. I agree with you on the steel leader though, so i guess it's a give and take. you either chance not getting a bite or you chance losing a huge fish... i guess pick your poison.

I'm not as experienced with the toothy critters through the ice but i'm experimenting with the really thin light knotable wire leader (knot2kinky) I have 25lbs and it's thin like maybe the diameter of like 10lbs mono roughly. I know flouro is supposedly invisible but when it's that thick 80-100lbs i think the fish knows it's there if you ask me. idk, i have to actually hook a big pike or musky through the ice before i have any real opinions haha. I was using 20lbs flouro and i didn't catch anything over 22 inches. the 20lbs flouro p-line has always withstood toothy fish up to about the 24" size range though.

The water level is way down, so that map won't be too accurate any time soon. Plenty of parking at the launch ramp, bathroom and not a long haul out onto the ice. May try and make it myself.
