Yeah that Sobi video was pretty bad. I thought they were going to keep them. Then after they pile them up on the ice it’s like okay lets let them go. Ugh.

Bummer. Too bad he couldn’t get his stuff together.

“Berkeley professional grade fluorocarbon in the gold box.” That’s what I use. Tough.

Resistance is futile you will be assimilated to The Facebook

It was fun if you didn’t take it too serious.

Not looking good so far. It’s early though. I doubt it will be like last year but maybe we will see some fishable ice around two harbors and toward Duluth.

I’m sick of shoveling already. By the time I get everything clear we get hit with more snow. I get burnt out on the snow if it’s not a little spaced out at least.

I used one last year. I really liked it. I ended up breaking the tip but my fault. I haven’t met an ice rod yet I couldn’t break. I might even buy another one for this season.

Yeah, I’m really liking the show so far. Well put together.

Yeah, not gonna happen this year on the Duluth side.

Never done it myself. In-fisherman had an article a few years back about it. Guys cutting like a spearing size hole out and sight fishing for eyes…sounds cool.

The Coho’s had been biting really well a few weeks ago. The last couple weeks they have slowed way down for some reason?

Yeah, im not buying the coho all die thing. They always seemed really tough to me. When fishing open water I’ve put them on stringers and it’s almost impossible to kill them unless you are really rough.

Numerous people fishing off 21st yesterday (Friday). There was some ice off the Lester but wind blew most of it out. Strong winds blowing out today. Have to see what that does.

I also like to catch big fish and most big walleyes are females so there’s another reason.

Still frozen…been snowing all day today. Mcquade has about a foot and a half of ice…and ice all over near the lift bridge/harbor.

I don’t know but the whole VHS thing is so over hyped

Looks like a good day to do some surf fishing…more like surfing. That wind is brutal.

I’m just hoping it doesn’t get muddy and send a bunch of the fish way up into the restricted area.

The problem with getting a boat out now is most of the protected areas that you would launch from are frozen over. Maybe if you tried it a bit earlier in the month. Now it would be tough to do. I looked around a bit today. Back bays and protected shorelines are frozen but the wide open areas are open water. It looks ready. A cold snap and calm wind would get it frozen but looks like its gonna warm up this weekend so…prob gonna have to wait a bit.

Well with all the warm weather…three record hi’s in the 70’s…looks like your date might be good for stream fishing steel after all.

Ugh, I hate when people stick the fish out…its cheesy, obvious, and makes the pic look worse by looking out of proportion.
I also quit watching bill dance some time ago. He is always fishing those ponds. The only way I can tell its a different show is from what lure hes advertising.

Thats a bit early for the rivers…then again with the weather this year who knows. Would be a good time to try around the river mouths for kamloops and maybe steelhead.

Splake are open all year on superior. I would fish the river mouths in chequamegon bay. Such as the onion and pikes creek. Casting spoons and/or floating spawn or crawlers off the bottom.

Hi of 39 today with west winds this evening of 18-24…dont think its gonna happen

I dont know if I buy the clearer water theory. Most areas of the river are still very dark. I definitely dont think that accounts for the relativly poor numbers of fish the last few years. I too remember when 100+ fish days were possible. I dont know whats going on. Probably just some big year classes that made the early to mid 2000’s so great. Its a big complicated system and maybe we just got spoiled but maybe well get the big numbers again someday.
