Not to worry to much it will melt soon, calling for temps in the + range for the first week of March.

Spinnerbait with pork trailer.

Nice fish, thanks for posting. Heading up that way tomorrow, hope I have the same results.

Good looking slabs, heading out next Friday, hopefully find them.

Excellent question, First find a drug store after 2 days with out food I'd have one hell of a headache First I'd drill holes shallow to deep set up lines there, then build a few snares to catch some animals, probably be easier than catching fish.

Bucktail, thanks for that link. Have a new project to work on for the spring.

WTG Boys, got your self a good little feast there.

Nice perch, thanks for sharing.

This is my pup, Tyler 13 yrs old.

On my out to see if I can get a copy. This is one power full site, seems everyone is getting famous.

BigChev too funny...... Either to many cocktails before going out or just a little brain dead. I just don't understand people doing this kind of stuff, when all over the net everyone talks about ice conditions... Boggles my mind.

Thanks for the update, perching grounds look ready.

As irishfield said also a whistle tied to your survial suit and a safety rope.

Works fine with Netscape, all those balloons, couldn't find your house..LOL Why is everything above North Bay????

Classic Rock, Blues Pink Floyd, BB King, Eric Clapton Underrated, Blue Cheer, Camel Oh ya, they are not around any more. Sorry Fishergirl72, Goddo??? Huge egos and going no where....

Entropy, this is a long shot, but you mention Veiw Lake thats the area I fish, A buddy of mine lives up there, Peter Bostelman, just wanted to know if you have ever ran into him? He has lived up there all his life, did guiding, tourny's and raced his snow machine a few years back. As I said long shot.... Smokey, I'm up at Youngs Point a lot from walleye opening to closing in November, if you are into a little walleye or musky fishing when the time get's a little closer let me know, I'll send you a map. The venison and crab legs are on me. Sorry guy's to go off topic a bit, I'll add some reports as soon as I can get on the ice.

Thanks for the report, have Friday off this week, was thinking about hitting the bog on the way back down from Jacks Lake.

Nothing like standing over a 8" hole on the frozen tundra for 5-6 hrs. Nice to get out and lose some of the cabin fever.

Any one have ice condition from the Apsley area? looking to do some ice fishing.

It's about time, all the gear is ready, just have to find that dang charger for the Vex.

Bag phones, very first cell phone I ever owned, man that is old, I still have one sitting around somewhere.

I'm a south paw, bait casting I cast with my left and reel with my right most of the time, switch over to the other side when casting the larger baits.

That's one mighty ice hut, all the comforts of home.

Cooper has some beautiful blue eyes. Are those another set of eye's behind the ice????
