    Will sun shining down the hole on a sunny day have negative effects, when the ice/snow cover is thick enough to limit light penetration?

    When I sold my boat I had him come to my bank with a cert. bank check. Let the bank check that its good, then sign the title.

    A guy down this way just got took 5k on a 4 wheeler. He sold it to someone for cash, ended up being all counterfit!

    Got out again today. Water temp is still around 33-34 degrees. Ended up with 5 today, but I bet I missed that many more. Only one 18″ keeper, the rest were over 20, with one very fat 23″ female.

    I didn’t try hair to much today, as they were crushing a 5″ grub on a gold glitter hutch jig.
    I did get a few fish dragging jigs up shallow this evening, in about 10′ so thats a good sign. Back at it again tomorrow, will report.

    I have an Alumacraft Navigator 165 tiller. Its a nice boat and fishes 3 pretty easy with the 91″ beam. I had an older Alumacraft with the narrower 80″ beam, and the extra width makes a huge difference. My only recomendation would be to put atleast a 70 or 75hp on it. I have a 60 Merc and its slow with more than one person.

    I think you can get more boat from Alumacraft for the same price.

    Good luck, Im in a similar situation, and things do seem to get better with time. Hopefully the same happens for you.

    As was stated, document everything. A good website to check out is iowafathers.com, I know its iowa based but there are some things on there that you might be able to relate to.

    I think I have the same one as Rootski. My only complaint is I wish you could lock the seat in position from spinning. Cabelas sells a fancy one for like 200 that looks nice, but I couldn’t justify dropping that much coin.

    I went up today, and they bit pretty well. Kept about 30 of the bigger ones. The wind made it a challenge though.

    I just bought a St. croix mojo bass 7′ MH that looks like it should be sweet for casting wing dams. I hope to get out this weekend and try it. Now if my i pilot would just show up I’d be set

    I fished yesterday some, but mostly just tried out the new boat. Had probably a dozen walleyes trolling sloughs, but only two were legal. Water temp was around 57. Good luck, I may try it on Saturday.

    I was in the same boat, and ended up breaking down and buying new. (Hope to pick it up tomorrow)

    Once in awhile there are some boats on k-bid.com, just a thought.

    Per the Dnr report the ramps useable. You could call the gas station in town, J&L’s, they would know.

    Lawrence, did you cross above the dam and it was cracking? I was out yesterday and it was still in good shape, but there pulling water through at a good rate, so it wont take long to be unsafe.

    Thanks for the update.

    Nice fish Bos. Is there still much of a tip up bite going on up that way?

    Brian, I echo your post. I found similar results on pool 9 as well. Not sure what the deal was.

    I’m just glad to hear you found some good ones! I sure hope we can get back to the good old days.

    Hopefully we cross paths this weekend! (pms welcome )

    Nice report Bos. How is the water clarity, it looks pretty good in your pictures. I was up last Thursday, and man was it dirty!
