It’s not as cut and dry as brookies can’t be kept, they can be kept on some streams. I’m not seeing any mention of brookies other than in the regs for specific streams starting on page 4, am I missing something?

Love the headline…

Calvin Johnston’s 38-pound, 7-ounce trout, caught in sub-freezing temperatures on the White River, is one of the largest ever landed; gets no help from brother

Cool, I miss that view.

Great photos John… Were you there when that duck hit the window at SAP? That poor girl got knocked out and her partner took advantage of the situation while she napped. lol

Total Weight = 19.8
Big fish weight = 8.6

Our group of 5 is in the planning stages, has anyone ever done a houseboat rental out of Sioux Narrows? Looking for the good and bad compared to staying at a cabin or lodge. We did a fly-in last year to a lodge but didn’t like being tied to the lodges meal schedule, we want to be more on our own this time around.

Sounds like a good time to try a few tipups! I’ve been spoiled like most of us…when my vexilar battery dies I pack up and go home.

No, I’ve bought plenty of things from Glen’s and have been very satisfied. Customer service is great if you’re not satisified with your purchase. I’m looking forward to stopping there tomorrow on my way to deer camp.

I read somewhere about someone jigging with the an ice fishing pole and a vexilar thrown over the side. Haven’t tried it yet, but plan to soon.

Bueller….Bueller….Bueller……

Hmmm, I wonder if that 1/2 day guided trip I have with them is worth the paper it’s printed on, I’m guessing they won’t be guiding for a while.

If it were me I don’t think I’d be chatting about this in a public forum. Some of the suggestions being given are not exactly legal. It would only take one DMV employee to see this and flag your name in their system. Just saying…. and NO I do not work for the DMV…thank god.

Anyone ever take their vexilar with on a fly in? That’s all I have at the momoent for a fishfinder and I’m wondering if it will do the job. No plans to buy the high speed transducer, just roll with the iceducer.

Thanks for all the information guys, the rod is back in action and I looks almost as good as new.

I’m really getting the itch… any good ice out there? Hoping the snow didn’t slow things down too much in the ice making department. Looks like we have some cooler weather coming next week.

3:45 of my life I’ll never get back.

The ice is clear and not very thick, but it should hold you. Just stay shallow, bring your ice picks, and don’t bring the shorties. You owe me a beer.

Great, thanks for the information guys. Now we just need some $%#* ice!!!

I’m in

Anyone have details on the stoddard derby?

Great read Cade! Congrats on the PB!

Looks like Friday is spoken for Bret, I’ll take tomorrow. Two heads are better than one!

I had the same issue with my 8 inch lazer, was not impressed and it was sent down the road for half price.

I made these for my flip last year and liked them, if you don’t have a zipper door on your flip they are not ideal.

IceNutz – I just sent a few PM’s your direction but they aren’t showing in my sent folder. Can you PM me a price on the tip-downs?

Thanks much,

Matt

I used the compass app during deer season to mark stands and figure out the shortest way to drag deer. Worked pretty good for a freebie. The Lakemaster app would be awesome.

Thanks guys! PM sent.

I can’t take the credit, the link came from a fellow IDAer that posted it here a few days back.

If I get divorced, fired, or drop out of school you’re to blame. Awesome game!

I’ll check the compression. How would I tell if it’s the hub? I’ve never had to work on an outboard before. If it is the hub are there two options…

1. Pull the prop and have the hub repaired

or

2. Replace the prop and hub

If that’s the case I’m thinking replacing may be cheaper, assuming I can do that myself.
