    Observations

    If I was low on cash but really wanted a camper and had to choose, nice vehicle or camper, i'd find a way to haul it with a piece of shit vehicle too. Same thing with a boat because I love to fish. When I was 24 and in a lot of debt my wife and I lived in a trailer for a year to save money and...

    Prediction - First Ice

    drove by the main lake on 83 yesterday. WIDE OPEN, which isn't a surprise. Saw ice on the South end in the refuge. I'd reckon it should be ready for some fishing this weekend.

    Pellet Smoker/Grill Recommendations

    I'd strongly recommend not lumping the Green Mountain Grills into this with "all" pellet grills. I get smoke at every temperature with mine, and very, very heavy smoke up to about 250-275. Anything below 200 is crazy smokey....

    K Drill and a Milwaukee savings.

    I use a Dewalt 20v brushless drill with my 8" hand auger and an adaptor. The drill is on sale at Lowes right now for $99. Still figuring out how much i like it. Not as great as a K-Drill auger, but will work until i'm in more than 15" of ice.

    Ice Rod Case

    Hadn't seen the eagle claw one until now. Might have to consider that. I have a soft sided case and it's terrible even with rod sleeves.... will be upgrading my case before anything else this year.

    Pellet Smoker/Grill Recommendations

    I just picked up a Green Mountain Grill David Bowie and freakin' love it. Had a friend over for thanksgiving who owns a Traeger and said he liked how my fan pulsated when it reached temperature, causing more smoke, as opposed to his Traeger where the fan runs constantly. He also liked the built...

    Prediction - First Ice

    Ice has turned very sketch in my area. Going out anytime before the weekend for me will be off limits.

    Prediction - First Ice

    Gave Coal Lake, by Underwood, a visit this morning. Found 4-6" of ice throughout and pretty clear for the most part. Pulled two walleye through the ice and two more got off at the hole. First one would have been a keeper, the rest were 10-13". Nothing spectacular, but always nice to catch some fish.

    Prediction - First Ice

    I didn't know they were putting canal water in there, but my goodness is it crazy how much lower the lake is again this year. I usually fish off the island tip, just to the SE of it or around the corner. Pulled some nice walleye from the lake a couple years ago, not much since then.

    Prediction - First Ice

    Hit Davis WPA over the weekend and fished it pretty hard. Barely marked a fish. Not sure whats happened there but two years ago it was a go to lake to get my kids on some fish. Ice was 6-7". Also hit Lake Holmes. It's pretty easy to find small perch there, in fact there's probably too many...

    Prediction - First Ice

    Despite the warm temps last week i'm finding the ice is still growing. 6" of good ice everywhere i've been. Still not getting dialed into anything nice or consistent.

    Darling walleyes and pike

    I was on the ice yesterday afternoon at Crimmins WPA. 3-4" thick, but as I worked my way out into the bigger portions of the lake the ice got very sketchy. Hate to see what this warm weather does.

    Prediction - First Ice

    Found 3-4" on a couple small lakes between McClusky and Drake. This warming trend scares and disappoints me :/ I am happy for the deer hunters to get some nice weather though!

    Prediction - First Ice

    Yeah so I wrote that message after driving home on Sunday.... leave for work early Monday morning in the dark and by the time I came home yesterday afternoon every lake I drove by was fully iced over. Hoping to get some fishing in this weekend.
