I would recommend getting a topper with the one latch in the middle, instead of the two on the outside. I would also go for a more sturdy sided topper instead of the more flimsy style. You will not regret it.
There was a decent drop in pressure from yesterday to today so it would be a good day to go out. I will check in with you on Thursday to see if circle lake is still safe. I’m looking to go Saturday or Sunday. I’m hungry for some fish!
Still good around here. It is not a very large lake with area I would recommend the north side to the west of the island. If you don’t know where that is you will see when you get there. Still good ice and good amount of people traveling out with atvs and snowmobiles.
Will the ice get thicker as the week goes on? I don’t know what your guy’s weather will be like. Sense your going out tomorrow will you report back to me. I don’t wanna drive 4 hours to find open water. Thanks and stay safe!
It is supposed to be in the teens here, but we are about to get a lot of snow these next few days. I have heard lots of people saying the lakes around here are all starting to hit that point that you can walk across them. It is going to stay below freezing, so good for ice, but the snow won’t help much. Didn’t have too much luck this morning only got three small crappies, but we might be going back out later. So Circle lake in Millersburg is safe. Just be careful. I was sitting on a little under five inches.
I have found a lake around the south metro with some fairly decent ice to bring some light gear to. Circle Lake in Millersburg has about 3-4 inches of good ice in most areas. I am heading out there again tomorrow and will definately be bringing the redneck chisel out with me. If you are careful you can get to the island and some other surrounding points for some good panfish and a walleye or two.
Any suggestions on which brand? I know that there are a lot out there and I want something that is going to actually be good. I usually change my line once or twice a year depending on what it goes through, so I just want something that will be good for the time being. I mean any certain type that is maybe better than another?
I fish shallow lakes mostly, not a lot of underwater cover, but there are some trees hanging off the side of most of the lakes I fish. That is usually where I go to find bass, so I want something that would be able to be hitting trees, but not a heavy line that is not sensitive enough. If any of that made sense.. I use casting rods more than spooled rods.
