Richard,  I appears you have posts that involve ice fishing Lake Winnebago.  I have some experience ice fishing so if you want to share some information please email me at beaglebob@charter.net.  Sincerely,  Bob

Doesn't seem like many people use this group much anymore...  I am new to the area and new to ice fishing.  Looking to find some people that would/could show me some the ropes.  I have gotten past the basics, but need some help to get better and catch fish more consistently.

P.S. i will be posting videos, sometimes we get 40+ inch notherns trying for spring gills.

Well caught some in asylum today, nothing huge, nothing under 7. It was very hard to get a bite. With spring approaching i will have some great bluegill spots that i will be hitting, if anyone is interested we could set something up and i could take someone fishing.

Gills are still biting at Green Lake but you have to work for them.

Very nice, i don't use tip ups too often but now i have a reason to go out late sit in a shanty, drink beer and wait for the light to come on.
