How do you register for the “Event”. I think it is great and would like to join with my 16 yr old grandson, do I need to register or just show up> Thanks

Thanks alot

You said that you like the Brainerd area, but were having trouble finding a spot. Check out Aitkin County, next door to Brainerd. Nice spots on Farm Island and Big Sandy and some of the smaller lakes. Great for kids and good fishing also. Good Luck

I started ice fishing on Mille Lacs back in the early 50’s. We used ice chisels and 8 x 8 shacks that were made of 4×8 sheets of masonite with 2×2’s for studs. In the late 50’s Dad bought a 4×4 Jeep Wagon, the Green Hornet, and we upgraded to a 10″ Ice Auger that was powered by 12 volts and cut a 10′ cylinder, that you pulled out and deposited next to the hole. It was great for using inside a shack, he installed jumper cable ends on it, so you just hooked it to the jeep’s battery. Those were also the days that we used to ski behind the jeep, using beartrap bindings and the summer’s water ski tow rope tied to the trailer hitch. That was for the quiet times when the fish were not biting. For really great sport, we used to jeep/ski past the dark houses that were very common on the North Shore of Mille Lacs, and that was always good for some fine Minnesota comments from the local spearfisherman, named Barneveld or Honnold.

I am throwing my hat in….

Thanks for the opportunity to try and win a trip with James

H2O, check out the north side west of the Red Door to Knox Point. It is a rock shoreline, and there is a finger bar that comes out in the middle. Good Luck and work the jigs.

Thank you very much for the info. I plan on checking out the Wealthwood area this week. I will give you a report when I get back. Again thanks for the info.

How does a person go about getting one of these fantastic units?

Yes, you can lube them. Most sports shops sell a blue grease that is made by HT Enterprises. It works great. I have used it for over 10 years on Lake Superior and I have not had a problem. Good Fishing
