    Launched at McQuade Safe harbor yesterday. Made the run to the Lester river and worked the mud line for a while, nothing there the water was 31 deg. Decided to find clean water and headed to Stoney Point. We trolled back to McQuade found 33 deg water in a small area picked up 1 Looper. Not much happening yet, but It was a beautiful day to get the Kinks out.

    No, Just erratic, kind of jerky. I did replace the battery in the remote, I probably junked it . I don’t know why a big company would market a product that if a person replaced the battery as per instructed, that it would destroy it? Just Say’n. I wonder if the have an up-grade ?

    I was talking about the remote not the battery.

    That should be good til you need a new battery. Do not even open it up to check on the battery or it will be junk.

    Ok, I will try a new remote.

    Yes. All minkota remotes are like that. when battery goes bad just throw away and buy a new one.

    I did replace the remote battery, still nothing? It works fine with the foot control. I will try another battery.

    Park Point has WALKABLE ice (changes day by day). Sunday there were over 50 portables on the ice. Not much action.

    Time to put the boat away for the season. A person could still launch at most ramps, but getting the boat out of the water might be a problem. Local ramps are covered with ice.

    For those who want to brave the elements, McQuade is still open. The Loopers & Coho are there to be caught.

    Clint, Yes there are a lot of Ice fisherman who frequent the river, including myself. Be careful out there, because the current can make it very dangerous. Over the years the river has claimed a few lives.

    Yesterday was a stellar day to be bank fishing. The water is clearing up and a few more fish are being caught from shore. Boaters are still having better luck though.

    I was out yesterday and managed to get one nice size Looper pitching spoons from shore. The water is still a little dirty. The boaters are having better luck further out in cleaner water, catching a mixed bag.

    Well, things didn’t go as planned. My son had a tough night at the hospital and was to pooped to go. I went anyway without the boat, just to see what was happening on North Shore. Arrived at McQuade at approximately 0700 hrs to find it skimmed over with ice. I wasn’t surprised as it was 9 degree that morning. I brought the Long poles along because I knew I was going to Bank fish at the French river anyhow. Went to the French and ran into a couple of friends who had been there before sunrise. I set up and threw out a spawn bag and watched the tip of my pole for three hours, just like everybody else ! The wind switched and the lake became Very Angry! I swear the temp dropped 10 degree ! Everybody reeled in and left. No fish for anybody! Lucky me, I live only 25 minutes away.
