What sizes?

Thanks guys. Planning on heading up around the 1st week of March or so.

My system is pretty basic but it works,

Ditto on the jumping chubs. Nothing more painful than seeing a nice 4″ chub lying on the ground. I bet the root cellar is awesome! You’re right about the ammonia problem too. Keep giving them fresh water and that should help. I even feed mine regular fish food. Not sure if they eat it but I’ve have kept them all winter.

No problem. I’ll get some pictures later this afternoon. My setup is in an unheated building so it takes some serious cold before I need to worry but nevertheless I check on them everyday anyhow. I need to check on them today as we have an Arctic cold front passing through this week probably headed your way. Was 5 degrees this morning. I noticed some smaller lakes ice capped and some guys already fishing here….

I don’t know how much room you have but I use an old horse water tank. I have an aquarium 110v double bubbler and I have it plumbed into my well. The water comes on twice a day for a couple minutes from a cheap sprinkler timer.
The tank is covered with an overflow drain to the outside. So the combination of covering the tank, fresh air, fresh water keeps it ice free for all but the -20 days. When I see it get some ice I put a small stock tank heater in it for a short time. If it gets ice on top I scoop it out. The larger the tank helps too.
I keep 4″ shiners and fatheads in it all winter here in Montana. Fresh lively minnows are hard to get here anytime of year so I baby them critters ……

My G2 has 1.54 SW. What did 1.64 fix? Not sure I want to jump to 1.83 with what I’ve heard? I have some similar issues at times.

I went by myself for the first time last year. I used Suffix 832 6lb braid. I used small Gold Tungsten Jigs tipped with minnow heads for Perch. I also used Northland Tackle Fireball Firetiger jigs 1/8-1/4 oz jigs tipped with a whole minnow for Walleye/Pike. The Navionics Phone App was awesome for getting me where I wanted to go. I fished near Budwierser Point and Six Mile Point and did decent. Started out deep and moved until I found fish.

I went to Devils Lake last year and used the Navionics chart. $10 is a sweet deal if you ask me and it was pretty accurate!

I have used the latex gloves in black. They seem to absorb some heat from the sun and stay a little warmer. I like the Jersey glove idea for an outer layer.

I just bought a set of the Striker Predator Bibs and Jacket. I needed the adjustable inseam option. I’m very impressed how they fit and feel. I have a couple days left to fish the Misery River in my jet boat with temps in the teens. Running up river at 30 MPH in a boat dodging ice chunks will be a good test before hardwater season starts.
