ICE FISHING HAS STARTED AMEN

Well the ice came fast this winter but unfortunately so did the snow, right now we probably have more snow than we had all last winter. Ice conditions around the area are going to be tricky because we are already seeing slushy conditions. Most lakes are safe to walk on with ice of 4" to 6" on most lakes. We need some really cold temps to get the ice over a foot thick to make for good driving conditions.

Monday we hoofed it out onto a crappie lake and sloshed through slush for 150 yards but were rewarded with very active fish. In 2 hours 3 of us caught over 50 crappies, nice fast action to start the year. It doesn't get any better than that! Zach, Bart and I were met on the road by the MN DNR who said very nice catch....Thank-you very much.

This weekend its off to LOW with Bruce and Bill for early ice walleyes....

Till then.....go fishing!
