I’ll be the bad guy. I like to eat fish. I like to eat fish even when there’s not a current bite or open season. I eat fresh fish and I freeze fish for later. Maybe all you guys calling for lower limits are just way better fisherman than I am. Cause I know I sure can’t just go get myself a mess of walleyes anytime I want a meal. Thats why I use the limit when they are biting and freeze some for later. No need for lower limits. The guys filling freezers to abundance and overlimits are not going to follow the new regulations anyway.

I also do this and would prefer it be left alone. I do agree with the guides taking clients out and taking limits of 13-14 inch fish is not helping.

I guess any help with lure or color selection would be appreciated.

From someone who fishes it a lot more than me, pink hooks on the dead sticks. Sorry not much more help other than Chad from the Pines is a cool guy, used to be a police officer. They will deliver pizza and other bar food out on the ice by the way.

What one do you guys suggest

I have both the GB70 and GB40. I bought the 70 and left it in the boat when I stored it last year. Had it wrapped so I bought the 40 for over that winter. Both work great. The 40 is smaller but if I was to pick one I would go with the 70 again.

Lol, quite challenging indeed sir!

I saw Vikings jerseys on sale at Target today. The only problem with them is that the neck hole is too small. If you put it on, you choke.

Oh cmon Dutch. I can’t wait lol!

Good luck Scratcher!! Wishing you a speedy recovery sir.

Swine. I eat more pig than anything else, chops, steaks, bacon, sausage and hams. I think it would be harder for me to give up pork than beef and I love a good ribeye or burger. Maybe it’s not more than average, but it’s a lot.

They are the bottom fins off a walleye and have some good meat on them. If you google you can find ways on how people take them off.

I know a couple guys that do it, they usually collect wings and cheeks and hang on to them over a summer and cook just them up.

Hook the lip on the wet side of the ice. Will give you a really good idea!

This it’s rare I’m ice fishing without one.

I set the hook right away if its moving away.

Same. But like Rip said have to find a safe spot for the beer first.

If marking any fish higher up in the water column, target them and set your minnow on a dead stick at that depth. Ignore the fish lower or on the bottom, they are usually the finicky and lethargic ones. I also feel like the shallower you can find crappies, the more aggressive they are

Agree with everything you said!

Ill find out from my bride and post it later.

Thanks bud. I got a good one from a buddies wife, but when mine looked at the ingredients I had to remove so many things that I just scrapped the idea.

I just looked at the pole. I think it’s a summit pole. Is that ok to use in open water or should I still look into the brew city?

It is the summit pole and that is what I use in the winter. My original statement still stands. If you want to use it moving any speed at all I would upgrade for the open water.

Enchiladas!

I love Enchiladas. Do you have a good recipe Glenn?

Thoughts??

Just threw up in my mouth a bit. However IF he would be a good mentor to JJ and didn’t cost us that much, and would promise not to whine like a school girl every play that doesn’t work out, I might think about it, maybe.

You will probably want a better pole than most of the ice fishing ones. Agree the Brew City is a good mounting system. The poles for ice fishing will work but have way to much flex in them if using it moving at all.

Glad to hear they are going to be alright. It was slick yesterday for sure. Came as close as you can come to loosing the truck and trailer on 169 coming back from Red. Lets just say I was real close to needing to change my shorts.

It looks awesome Bman, wish I had the space to pull this off at my place. Well done sir.

Lol one of them looks like he might make a good supervisor!

I’ve thought about the public access before, but like the idea of a “plowed road” that someone is checking ice thickness regularly. I realize there is no snow at the moment, but it’s also nice to support a few of the businesses that seem to be dying off up there.

Totally agree, we need to support these guys so there around for us in the future.

Close Brad but without the groves in it for stuff to get caught in.

Naw you would be ok, just don’t stop anywhere and try to look fancy.

First of all gotta say I’m jealous. To get the water to drain into the sink from the counter it looks to me like the counter needs to be higher and yes slant it a little. Then you could use a piece of something bendable to mount to the edge of the counter and slightly bend it downward to go over the edge of the sink. Hope this makes sense.
