mmmm I love walleye cheeks dipped in tarter sauce. Then the hard work of drilling through 13 feet of ice was well worth it.

The first year I went to Winnipeg it felt like we were drilling through 13’ of ice. The above picture isn’t to damn far off, two extensions didn’t get through in a lot of places we drilled.

^ Be safe Oley...check ice as you go.

 

[Chooch]

Did you make it to darling? If so where did you go and how was the ice

Went to lake Josephine this morning. The bite wasn’t anything special, but the ice is a consistent 7-8 inches everywhere I went. Pretty good considering last week there were big patches of open water last week.

Measured from shore to open water, think horizontal drilling.

After this cold snap, things should become a little more dummy proof.

what are we looking at 8-9 deaths in MN on the ice. The hype is so overrated for early ice. The highest catch rate is July----- lowest is during winter. Its a pastime sport folks -- dont take it seriously. The 24th was still doable for getting out alive -- the 25th temps were not. This week will grow some ice thank god -- but any mistake is going to be exponentially expensive this week. So this circus stunt took how many people away from family xmas eve to help individuals that did not have to be fishing at that hour.

All i got out of yesterday was a to see a shorthair pump alot of blood for warmth. quite honestly i dont know how they can do it --- tongue hanging out looking to cool down--- while i am freezing so bad i cant feel my hands.

 

[LBrandt]

That shorthair still has more hair than you do.

I could see people going through Devils Lake in the next week or so. There were big pockets of open water all over last weekend, now after the cold blast they are all iced over and snow covered. If a guy doesn't know where these spots were, there will be many areas that are now at 15 inches of ice and then all of a sudden these previously open areas probably have 5-6 inches. We are making ice fast now though this week.

I'm honestly fine with my first time out being in Winnipeg.
