When I got home from work today I checked the ice on my small lake. Its been completely frozen over for a few days , so I made a hole about 10’ off the shore. I found about 2 1/2” of ice. Its not good ice, because its cloudy. I’ll check it again in a few days. Maybe I’ll be fishing a week from now depending on the weather. Has anyone else check there favorite spot yet?
About 3-4” here on the local pond. About 2” clear and 2” cloudy. I went out yesterday afternoon and caught about 75 gills, only 10 keepers. 1 crappie was a nice bonus. I’ll post some pics later tonight. Heading to Chicago for the Bears-Packers game today. I should blow that off and fish.
nope, my buddy is going to get a new flip-over next year and is going to sell me the one he has now for cheap. I’ll keep my eyes open for that one for ya. I saw new ones for around $250 some where, does that seem right BBK?
I want a 1 man flip over for when I’m by myself or if I’m the only one that wants to use a shanty. That cabin takes 10 minutes to put up and once its up, your not moving it lol.
IC Here is something you could check out. Farm&Fleet;, I know you have a couple of stores near you, maybe you could check them out or order on and tell them you want it here tomorrow. The could ship from another store, say in Wisc.
I wonder how warm the recon is. And I don’t like the idea of having to set-up a camping chair every time I move. I like the built in bench/seat idea better.
Hey BBK…what are ya catching over there? Some lakes here have 5 inches, others have 3. The lake I go to the most should have 4 by next weekend, then its on. I went out yesterday with the kid and caught about 10 keeper gills and 2 crappies. YUM!!!! Fresh iced panfish are the best.
