The story goes, Muskies are a fish of 10,000 casts. if that’s true then i’m due to catch about 15 fish this summer. Gosh I hope this is true….

Next week looks warm and sunny, that will help. Maybe the snow will melt without trashing the ice at the landings. I caught some dandy <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>pike on p4 this week about 50 yards from people ice fishing. That might be a good trip too.

were you in a boat? i’m headed to p4 Thursday, could use some reports.

i’ll be up there Thursday. is there still a day bite on jigs n minnows?

my go-to used to be minnows all the time. the last two years I have been using pulse-r, and moxis. I don’t think I bought 5 scoops of minnows in the last year and a half. these two baits have made a believer out of me. I did pick up some of the rib-finn baits also. looking forward to trying them out as well.

log salmon
stick bass

how much do they run per bag on average

over-thinking it.

Supposed to get real cold in the metro starting early next week. Don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch but could be on the ice in 7-10 days.

Told my wife we should be on good ice down here by the weekend of the 16th. I was then told we are going to my in-laws for Christmas that weekend. Really?!

unless your in-laws ice fish too……..

my prayers go out to all the family and friends.

I have my tc encore shooting very good out to 200 yds. I wouldn’t be afraid to take a poke even to 250. I think you put a very well placed shot on that deer. confidence and practice goes a long ways in the field. too bad you had to use a buck tag on it but congrats anyway.

what a stud, great job.

Couple on the hit list…

9″ jake in a walleye pattern is a great lure.

keep pounding the weed edges, they’ll eat.

schucks bait shop in milford, right next to west boji should have them.

Berkley lightning rods are hard to beat.

I have 2 cabelas brand xtr 12′ rods, they work great for getting out away from the boat without needing boards.

a little crappy weather has never deterred me yet, the fish are still there, just need a little finessin’

thanks.

five minutes later
