How’s the roads? Did you drive out? Assuming with the warm up today it’s pretty wet out there, but 40+inches of ice should be safe to drive on right?? Heading up tomorrow. Probably stay close to pine island and hope that the walleyes are moving closer the the river!

Have any of you guys used their ice houses?

Made the purchase! Found that the battery isn’t that big so I can slide it in my jacket. I have a bag that is insulated with some hand warmer pockets and that keeps it from getting too cold just fine!

Rolling to lake of the woods Thursday. Gonna put it to the test and I’ll let everyone know.

The nice thing is, though the shaft runs shorter than some other augers, it did come with a 12 inch extension. Cutting through 25 inches of ice no problem in the cities!!

I could use $2000. Maybe have him send the check to me?

Good luck! You fish up in Pequot??

Absolutely! I plan on doing a write up when I get back!

It was shot over 5 days… Actual hours spent I’m not sure. But I think the total was over 8,000 pictures

Thanks for the info James!

Getting a new lx5 for $399 with a $50 mail-in rebate (offer expires 1/25/14 for Marcums over $350) from Gander. Got them to price match from Capras and Reeds who have the units going for $399 currently!

So awesome! Had the pleasure of taking a tour last week with Cal.

Very excited and hoping to have a skeeter behind my truck down the road!

You guys are gonna do awesome!

In the water? Those were actual scuba divers with lights swimming around!

Haha that’s TOO much… But it would be nice right?

Think I’m gonna just snag the lx5 and call it a day. Thanks everyone!

Is the LX6 worth the additional $100 over the LX5??

Thanks everyone!!

What about the marcum lx6? I found one for $499 as well…

Worth another $100? I only have a Mac so updating the software might be a pain..

Thanks everyone! My bro is a camera operator for diners drive inns and dives… But has been getting pretty good with his still camera and time lapse shots!

Monday is gonna be a dandy it sounds like. Wishing I was fishing in Hawaii.

Agree… I wouldn’t trade my snosuit for anything!!

thanks!

I think we are leaning towards heading to LOTW though!

YES!

I have had a ton of luck with these lures… both leadcore and long line trolling.

I usually run from 2 to 2.7 MPH and they seem to have a ton of action. If found that the additonal ‘scatter’ helps catch more fish and you dont have to necessarily ‘pump’ your rod as much.

Colors are firetiger, perch, and gold. I love both the minnow and shad raps.

Awesome I will play around with this. Thanks everyone for all your help!

What do you mean by bumping the enrichment?

Just pushing the key in and out? Do you hold the key in when you start it up?

I always have to give it throttle to start.

When it’s cold it will fire up with the throttle engaged but usually it runs for a few seconds then dies. I make sure the ball is hard and try it again 3-5 times then it runs. Usually when I put the throttle back to neutral/attempt to reverse or throttle away for the dock, is when it kills.

Once it’s no longer cold, it fires up right away.

Thanks man!

I will start trouble shooting.

Plugs are new and gapped. I do have an electric choke. How do I make sure it is set correctly?

Any luck with different types of knots for the suffix 832?? the willis knot has been a tough one for me. seems to just unravel the sheath just seems to unravel when I try to feed the mono back through it!

Hey Joe,

I have a ton of husky jerks, scatter raps, shad raps and salmos. Is the lindy shadling something you think I should pick up? Any colors in particular?

I have done some night fishing on Mille Lacs with husky jerks in the fall and they seem to produce really well.

Also, what minnows do you usually use when you got a jig on? Anyone ever do any leadcore or tossing taildancers out as well?

thanks!

Looking for the same thing… I have attempted the try the Willis knot but I cannot threat the lead core it basically unravels. I have also attempted to do a blood knot but the mono just comes apart.

Thanks everyone for the info!

We are actually staying at woodlands resort so I am pretty excited!

I appreciate the tips and will look forward to sharing the info!
