Check back on this thread for pictures. It is just a matter of time. I did go to some braid backing, 6 lb florocarbon leader, and reel with a smooth drag instead of the thumb burner I had.


Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

That is an awesome mess of fish. Very well done!

I still don't see a plesiosaur, however.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

I've heard that smoke fish vacuum seals very well for overnight shipment to Pennsylvania.

Caught a bunch of bass too, that we released. No NP nosing around last night, but she is down there. Fastest action ever on Bremer Pond. Fished from 1530 hours until 2030 hours. Pretty busy. Seven inches of ice now.

I've been fishing on a lake up by my parent's place in northern Wisconsin. Had shiners under tip-ups for Walleye the past two evenings, but no flags.

Tom Skilling of WGN (awesome for regional midrange weather forecasts and predictions of upcoming snowstorms) says we're supposed to have above average temps down here at my latitude of northern Indiana, Illinois etc., up through part of January. Doesn't look good for ice formation down here. I had some ice on the ponds but it left and the most I get is partial ice or thin ice now.


If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Picked up an 18" walleye under a tip-up tonight. Medium shiner about 12" off the bottom in about 4' of water, in an area that still has some green weeds. Roughly 8" of ice is on the lake (northern WI).

Hey Cecil, you're spot on about tom skilling. Im in st louis and still watch wgn to hear what the conditions are like @ my parents house. Since you are up near there, what do you think my prospects look like for a hardwater trip to the northwestern part of the chain in the third week of janurary? We had 3" of snow here last night, but warming up near 50 here later this week. What does tom say...is my ice fishing trip going to be a regullar fishing trip?

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.

I hope so. just a few weeks away, and although at least one cold snap in there, there are still temps looking in the 40's on the 15 day outlook.

They are just north of island lake, south of a town that i think is called johnsville, right off of 31 & twelve in a tiny little neighborhood. Glad a neighbor is on the forum. sounds like a ten minute drive from their house to yours.
