Seriously tho, I have a question for the hardcore ice guys. What's the latest you have been fishing thru the ice? I see I could most likely easily hitup some stuff this weekend and probably the next.
Judging by ice thickness/quality up on Winnipeg this past weekend, you could plan a trip back up there for opener beginning of May pretty easily. Granted a lot can change between then and now, but the ice was solid and thick, not much snow on it anywhere to melt and honeycomb things, probably be ice fishing memorial day up there if shorelines stay somewhat in tact.
I haven't put my ice fishing shit away yet, however I may roll the tarp off the boat this weekend and sit in it for a while in the garage.
