I PUT ON THE CONTINENTAL TERRAINCONTACT A/T ON MY 2015 SUBURBAN AS PER MY RESEARCH AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM A FRIEND IN THE TIRE BUSINESS. I PUT ON ALOT OF FREEWAY MILES AND A FAR AMOUNT OF OFF ROAD TO GET TO FISHING AND HUNTING SPOTS, THEY ARE GREAT IN DEEP SNOW WITH THEIR QUIET YET AGGRESSIVE TREAD. CHECK THIS REVIEW. DESIGN.https://www.tirebuyer.com/tires/continental/terraincontact-a-t/p/style/451032
THAT’S GREAT NEWS. I MIGHT ADD 1 OR 2 MORE BATTERIES TO MY PREVIOUS AMOUNT OF 3 BATTERIES, I ASSUME THAT WOULD BE OK.
YOU MUST BE GETTING CLOSE TO 80 PEOPLE BY NOW.
DO YOU THINK WE WILL BE ABLE START BUYING THE BATTTERIES THIS WEEK?
I WENT TO THE ST. PAUL ICE SHOW AND TALKED WITH THE DAKOTA BATTERY REP AND HE TOLD ME YOU CAN USE YOUR VEXILAR OR ANY FLASHER CHARGER TO CHARGE THE LITHIUM BATTERY. THE LITHIUM CHARGER WILL CHARGE IT FASTER, BUT WHEN YOU ARE JUST TOPPING OFF YOUR BATTERY AFTER DAILY USE IT’S NOT AN ISSUE.
Dakota Lithium Batteries will be at the st. paul ice show but I doubt if they will deal for the $69 price we are trying to get. How many are we up to so far?
AND 2 CHARGERS.
PUT ME DOWN FOR 2
DO YOU STILL HAVE THESE AVAILABLE? I NEED ONE FOR MY HUMMINBIRD PTC CONVERSION BASE.

WE REALLY ENJOYED THE “BEHIND THE SCENES” EXPERIENCE. WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SHOW WITH JAMES & JOEL KNEELING NEXT TO THE HOLES ALL DAY IS TRUE. THEY’RE OUTSIDE ALL DAY DRILLING HOLES,FRESHENING UP THE BAIT ON THE TIP-UPS TRYING DIFFERENT LURES, & NOT TAKING MUCH OF A BREAK.WE SPENT ABOUT 8HRS ON THE LAKE, & IN THAT TIME YOU GET TO KNOW THE IDO TEAM,JAMES, JOEL & THE FILM CREW, BEN, PAT,& BEN. THEY WERE FRIENDLY,OUTGOING,GENEROUS, & PERSONABLE. THEY WORK VERY HARD AT THIER JOBS, SACRIFICING TIME AWAY FROM THIER FAMILIES. THEY SHARED FISHING TIPS & STORIES ABOUT FISHING EXPERIENCES & FAMILY BACKROUNDS. THEY TREATED US LIKE WE WERE THIER BEST FRIENDS. THEY MADE SURE WE WERE HAVING A GOOD TIME.SIDE STORY, ON THE WAY BACK IN WE STOPPED TO HELP SOME GUYS WHO HAD THIER FLATBED TRLR FALL THROUGH THE ICE. WE HOOKED 2 4 WHLRS ONE IN FRONT OF THE OTHER & HELPED PULL IT OUT THEY WERE GLAD WE STOPPED. 2ND BEST THING ABOUT THE TRIP WAS MEETING OTHER FISHERMAN FROM ALL OVER SHARING LAUGHS & STORIES. HAT’S OFF TO BALLARDS TOO, THEY HAVE A 1ST CLASS OPERATION, FOOD WAS GREAT, STAFF WAS THE BEST, ROOMS PERFECT,EVERTHING WENT GREAT. THANX FOR EVERYTHING PAT & CATHY MCCAULEY
SO WE GET TO THE SPOT IT’S ABOUT 19 FT. JAMES DRILLS HOLES,I CLEAN EM OUT.WE SET OUT TIP-UPS, BOTH THE SPOOL STYLE AND THE “I FISH PRO’S”, THAT USE A ROD & REEL. SO CATHY CATCHES THE 1ST FISH, SMALL SAUGER, THEN I GET 1 ON THE I FISH PRO, WHICH I REALLY LIKE CAUSE YOU FIGHT THE FISH W/ ROD N REEL, IT’S A 22″EYE. CATHY CATCHES A 24″ ON A SPOOL TIP-UP, HER 1ST TIME EVER SEEING A TIP-UP, SHE DOES THE HAND OVER HAND OF CATCHING THE FISH LIKE A PRO.SO THEN CATHY PUT’S ON A CLINIC NOT ONLY CATCHING THE BIGGEST BUT THE MOST. SHE”S DEFINITELY A FUTURE PRO.JAMES DRILLED ABOUT 40 HOLES ,SO WE HOLE HOPPED ALL DAY.WE DIDN’T CATCH ALOT OF FISH BUT WE HAD ACTION, KEPT 8 EATERS.

I’M A LITTLE LATE WITH MY POST BECAUSE I’VE NEVER DONE ANY FISHING FOURMS BEFORE.WOW,WOW,WOW, THAT’S ALL I COULD SAY AFTER MY WIFE CATHY AND I WERE PICKED TO FISH WITH THE IDO TEAM. I WAS IN SHOCK, NEVER IMAGINED WE WOULD BE PICKED, I WAS JUST HOPING TO GET TOGETHER WITH A GROUP OF LIKE MINDED ICE FISHERMAN FOR OUR FIRST TIME ICE FISHING ON LOW.IT WAS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE FOR REGULAR “FISHEADS” LIKE US GUY’S AND GAL’S.SO WE MET AFTER BREAKFAST AND HEADED OUT TO THE ACCESS, LOADED UP THE OTTER SLED WITH GEAR, LOAD UP THE POLARIS SLEDS WITH THE AUGER, RODS, AND MARCUMS. CATHY RODE WITH JAMES, AND THEY PULLED THE OTTER SLED, I RODE WITH JOEL. THE ICE CONDITIONS WERE PRETTY ROUGH AND ON THE 4 MILE RIDE OUT THOSE SLEDS RODE REALLY SMOOTH. JOEL & I TALKED THE WHOLE WAY OUT ABOUT THE PLAN OF ATTACK, DEPTH & PRESENTATION.
