LMB don't bite in the Winter.

Is that one of Darlene's girls or grandaughter? What else is coming up through the hole in the ice?

Thing is dinky.

Do you auger an extra whole over Corona Reef for mid-Winter additions?

Is that Quentin Tarantino?

+1...Where's the fish? Why show off bait?

Congrats, Dwight!!

Darlene's grandson. The granddaughters are much larger.

Unless Quentin is 7' tall....

Congrats on the one fish season, D.

This is a tough crowd Dwight!

Have not seen many LMB ice fishing pictures. Congrats!

Nice LMB - looks in good condition after spending winter under the ice.

A tough crowd is better than no crowd at all. TJ understands.

It was a good ice fishing season on Dwight's pond. Due to a very cold December, the normal start date was delayed a month. Had nice drivable ice when we were finally able to get out. We caught a lot of LMB. They ranged from a pound bigger than the one above, down to 12 inchers. As usual, they all looked healthy. Kept a couple dozen each of nice BG and BCR for the pan. Dwight drove his mule out to visit most every time we were there. All good!

Hey Stick - thanks for the good update for fishing Bremer Pond. By all means return next winter for more ice fishing updates.

No more updates from Bremer Pond for us this summer?

I am listening to the archived pondboss podcast where Bob Lusk interviews Dr. Dave Willis about northern ponds and the data collection of oxygen vs temperature in a high flowthrough gravel pond was discussed (similar to conditions at Richmond Mills pond) Dr. Dave was interested in further research on Bremer pond over time.

Any updates?

It was a five year project.

I lost interest in freezing my keister off every week no matter what the weather.

I was out on Dwight's pond yesterday for the first ice fishing trip of the season. Ice at about 7 inches. Clarity was lower than normal with visability at about 5 feet. That's good for me, usually it is ultra clear and the fish can see that you are up to no good half way across the pond. My brother-in-law got the first fish of the season (picture), and caught one the same size and hour or two later. We kept 7 nice BG for fish chowder, and released about a half a dozen more. I had a real large crappie up in the hole, but it was a kapon. (Had it for a while, but it kapon going!) Long time since I have posted, but I am always in the weeds, watching. I will ask Dwight to post that picture, I am almost computer illiterate.

Stick - Great report. Wow 7" of ice already. Global warming?

stick, I give you a C- for the 'kapon' joke.


Glad to see your post though!!!!!!!!!!

Good to hear the report.

Although the only ice I want to see while fishing is in my drink, I've always followed this thread to see what the other half (the half that likes cold) lived like.

Well, snrub, you have to drink Hamms to relate....

Mmmmmmmm Hamms! It is an old saying about the kapon, but I thought someone would like it.

Its winter !






Joke !






I assume you 3 are singing Dean-Os "Baby Its Cold Outside" !

Summertime, Summertime

Not me.

My "pond" has gotten a significantly bigger

Have fun John.
