That isn’t very smart.
January 8, 2022 at 11:02 am #2087926Yeah after I drilled and checked I’ve thickness I decided not put the big house out yet. I’m a bit of a chicken. I like at least 15 inches for the burb and ice house

January 8, 2022 at 5:27 pm #2087985Only 4 keepers tonight so far but I’ve probably caught closer to 30 fish. Surprisingly bite has slowed down as we approach nite time.
I have 12″ where I am on tonka right now. I’ve seen a lot of trucks and ice castles on the west end of the lake

January 8, 2022 at 8:52 pm #2088054Man do the generators get annoying. It’s generator city out here
January 8, 2022 at 10:19 pm #2088081There was a load of cars and trucks on the river tonight. Checked ice in a few spots and it was 10, some was 13. A little to little for me to feel comfortable with an F150.
January 9, 2022 at 5:55 am #2088093I’m assuming these were thrown in your bait bag. Impressive catches.
I’m just assuming
That was my kids bag of keepers. Between 11 and 12 inchers. Biggest of the night was 13.5, nothing overly impressive. But the kids like catching them, bagging them and being responsible for putting a meal on the table.
January 9, 2022 at 8:32 am #208810620 something fish, most small, most in about 22, wish I had seen Jim’s vid before I went out, larger ones were in that in between depth range.

I think he is talking about James Holst’s crappie episode from this morning when he was catching 15 inchers on that slab rap in Minoqua, WI.
January 9, 2022 at 2:39 pm #2088193Maybe I missed it but how much ice were you on?
[/quote]13 in that spot.
January 10, 2022 at 7:59 am #2088368Wife & I were on a metro lake. Ice was 8 – 8.5″ and some slushy spots, which surprised me. Pike bite was good, 8 fish, largest 31″, three others, 28, 29.5, 30. Also found it odd that they were only taking 7″ suckers, when we ran out of those, put some 4-5″ on, wouldn’t touch em.
January 15, 2022 at 4:47 pm #2090201Got a Minneapolis chain of lakes personal best walleye on Thursday evening. 26 1/2” pretty exciting.

January 15, 2022 at 5:09 pm #2090208Great fish Ryan!
January 15, 2022 at 5:22 pm #2090212Nice fish!
January 15, 2022 at 6:42 pm #2090233Very nice, plump fish, Ryan!!
January 15, 2022 at 7:22 pm #2090238Very nice fish Ryan, the chain has better walleye fishing that people realize.
January 15, 2022 at 9:46 pm #2090257Thanks, been a couple days and I’m still smiling about it.
January 16, 2022 at 10:31 am #2090316Nice job Ryan! I should really explore those lakes more. Always seem to forget out them.
January 16, 2022 at 4:48 pm #2090380Got on a north metro lake…ice is thick but slush is terrible. Came close to getting stuck a few times…which is tough to do with a Ram!
Bite for panfish was good but the bite windows were tight with a whole lotta lookers.
On the MPLS chain of lakes bite…that’s kinda like fight club if you know what I mean…
