    Typical Ice Up?

    Yes...the quicker the better! I am discovering I don't like this down time between open water and ice up. Last spring the lakes opened up so quick it seemed like it was only a couple weeks between when the ice was no longer safe and when I could get the boat in the water!

    Typical Ice Up?

    Yea...was thinking we would need 2 solid weeks of lows in the teens...highs no more than mid 30's. Guess light wind and cloudy days would help too! Hoping maybe the weekend of Dec 2-4 might be able to get on smaller lakes?

    Typical Ice Up?

    So this will be my second full ice fishing season...just wondering what we need temperature wise to get the smaller lakes "safe" (4-5 inches) for fishing? We've already seen temps in the teens at night...30's during the day. I remember last year our first time out on the ice at Audubon was the...

    Boat Last Time Out This Weekend

    Yea...last year think my last trip out was maybe the second week in November. But the wife and I are heading to Seattle on Tuesday for a week, not back till 1 November. Guess I'm assuming the worst weather wise, but who knows. I dread those weeks between last boat trip and first ice...gotta find...

    Boat Last Time Out This Weekend

    With pheasant/duck hunting in full swing, how many of you planning to hit the water this weekend for fishing? I don't hunt (sorry), so I'll be heading out with the boat early tomorrow-hope to spend most of the day on the water. Will hit it again Sunday afternoon as well. May be the last weekend...

    Ice fishing prep

    Thanks ny...2 weeks ago the dock at Stevenson was still in as well. Can always launch at Camp of the Cross without a dock...just easier for us old timers to launch boats at docks! Actually the launching part is easy...it's the jumping off the bow part coming back to shore that can be tricky!

    Raising kids.....

    Agree completely with jack's post above...many parents want so desperately to be "accepted" by their children that they forget about parental responsibilities. Be a parent first...plenty of time when children are adults to be their friend. Studies have shown children thrive in stable structured...

    Hunting with the mrs

    My wife comes out on the boat with me pretty regularly. She baits her own hook, works the net to perfection, and this year has started taking fish off the hook herself. Cannot get her to come out on the ice...she is a Seattle gal, so doesn't mind the cool/damp but can't stand the hard freeze!
