I can tell you that I am done with the ice this year. I love ice fishing, but I'm over it this year. I am putting everything away this weekend and I will be spending the weekends preparing my liver for camping season. I also have to process deer one of these weekends.

I don't even want to think about the amount of cash I've tossed, er.... I mean "deposited", into the water "bank" over the years. Why can't I get bank insurance for that?? 250k might cover it......(Grin)

This is looking like a late spring, and I am not having it! The ice gear is put away and I will hit the Tailrace on the decent days until the big lake opens up.

I am going to hit the ice Sunday, unless the wind is gangbusters.

Only been out a couple times this ice season, and it doesn't feel right

I’ve fished on an ocean way more times than the ice in the last 3 years and I’m fine with it😂

I drive past a lot of lakes on my way to work. On the warmer days these lakes smell like sulphur. It’s been a rough year for ice fishing. Hopefully winter kill isn’t as bad as I think it’s going to be.

Just south of Canada eh
I’ll be doing some shore fishing next week.


In Indian shores FL.
Check out the red tide maps...I just came back from exact area 10 days ago, every day we were there it got worse. More and more bait fish dead on shore. Breathing was difficult at times and everyone was caughing. We decided to fish in-shore, did ok on trout, sheepshead and redfish and breathing was easier the further away from the beach you could get.

I was worried about that. I read the seaweed could be an issue too. Last year there was a perfect walk-out sandbar where it dropped sharp to about 18’. Caught just about everything you could imagine but only kept trout. Im sure the hurricane moved the bar. Red tide, and weeds will probably force a change of plans. Oh well, I can still drink beer and fish the dock on the bay. And no shoveling snow.

Nachman's Seafood Market and Smokehouse has good intel as well as the best fish spread on earth. Right next door is Wahoo's Waterside Pub that sells that as well as some of the best seafood i've found down there, and Reef Donkey APA washes that down nicely.
