Has anyone been out on the ice yet? Dwight let me know last week that the ice will be good to go before long. I got my house ready last weekend, and spent yesterday afternoon getting all my gear up to par and ready to go. Even put the sharp to the Frostee and Fatboy jigs. Need some minnows and grubs, then heading to Bremer Pond Friday or Saturday. We have had a very mild fall here, but the ice being ready to walk on is typical, on or about the 10th of December. I am aiming to smoke every crappie and perch we get this winter.
Lakes 10 acres and smaller are froze here, and I missed out on the early ice stuff, its already over 5 in. The big lakes are still open, but mabeye I can get some birds off of them?? I've been on the ice but just to see how thick it is havent had time to fish a hole.
You smoke crappie and perch?? I thought fish with lots of fat made better smoked meals?
