No way I could stay in the tent for 5 days, likely not even 1.

I need a big bed, and hot wife next to me, or at least a beer breathed hairy old bastard farting up the motel room for a few nights.

That as said above impresses me more than the fish..

I'm hoping for another morning report , even if you didn't have such good luck , how was it tenting on the ice ? I used to do that with a down filled sleeping bag and it would roast me out .
This morning started out great as well!
Had a 27 by 6 am.😊

Curious what "ffs" i use it like "for f--- sake" nothing to do with locating fish.

If a graph,ive read the same about marcum flashers... in water less than 20' marcums 2000watts effect bottom hugging eyes.(spooks em)

they can look ok, but they just arent REAL, anyone can buy one, so whats the point? Picture is real, traditional mount is real, replica is just a hunk of plastic that looks like a fish that you could have bought at a rummage sale for $10...
Well ive got both,ill say this "skin mounts" will crack over time tail and fin's curl,replica 20 yrs just like day one but the realizm isn't the same as skin mount.mpo only.

There's a huge difference snow in early replicas and today's. I have skin moints setting beside replicas and you'd never be able to tell the difference.
Some of Jamie's work.

5575,
Nice mounts,your rep is way better than mine,apparently my 34.5 PB at the time looks like a cross if a walleye/smallmouth,salmon hybrid,shitty replica,i was told they didn't have a body or fins large enough for better realization rather than contact me for my decision y or n they patched it together and sailed it my way,first and last rep I'll ever do.

My replica trout and crappies turned out great.Big walleye not so good.

Great fish.
What are snow conditions on the lake? Heading that was Friday and usually travel by snowmobile.

Nice pics.
Overall, how was/ is fishing?
Fishing was really good, first 24 hours was probably the best bite I've ever seen up there. And the other days were definitely above average. Overall I'd say we each caught 20 a day on average. Average size was 21-25 inches.
Dakota eye, there's hardly any snow on the ice, pickups are everywhere as are ice castles that once were a rare site. The ice is really really rough, all I can say is take your time. Something like a toboggan would not survive being pulled behind Something. That and everything on it would be destroyed.
