December 31st We have started to allow full-size vehicle ice access. We have between 13 and 14 inches of ice. With the cold temps, the ice is contracting and new cracks will and are forming. We have one crack bridged a couple hundreds yards from shore. But we have a live crack north of the first mudflats t...

A massive crack has opened up in front of Hunters Point. They have closed all traffic ON and OFF the lake. Please contact them before going anywhere near that area. Just a heads up. Im not saying to not go there or not go fishing, just please read all updates before heading out on the ice. Also stop in to the...

So i have had my auger for around 5 years, and it has always run like a champ. It is a 2HP Strikemaster MAG 2000. This year it backfires, which has burnt a hole in the intake filter and won't stay running under power (idles great). I also noticed that the plastic connector that connects the fuel line to th...

I have a friend who has been in a rental out there the last 24 hours and CLAIMS he, his son and his girl have 9 nice keepers. He said the rattle reels went off every half hour lastnight. I would post his exact location and may yet if he says the wrong thing to me today.

We shot this 3 days ago guys the slots are showing up pretty good so far!

This year I loaded half of my Ice fishing reels with 10 lb (normal 4 lb diameter) yellow braided Pro Line. the main reason I switched is braided line has no memory, dosen't nick or need to be stripped off like polly. My question is this, in clear water like Mille Lacs do I need to add a polly leader? Wit...

The fishing has been generally slow compared to past years.. I've fished the flats and rocks. I would say the night bite, well after dark, on the rocks in 17 fow has been best. I haven't been marking a lot of fish anywhere. But if they come in they generally bite.

With all this cold weather and not much snow in the forcast all of us Twin Cities folks would like to see updates on the ice thickness. If you go out, please take a minute to post any changes to the Ice conditions. Thank you Sometimes it seem like the only two guys on the lake are Bobber and tat2jonnie! --...

I visited with a fellow that was just getting off the ice as we were heading out to check the ice depth. He reported to us that he had caught 14 walleye during the first half of the day. Got out just after daylight and was leaving the ice just after noon. He had one keeper sticking out of his sled! He said the...

Wednesday the 26th We have 11 inches of ice on the main lake, snow free ice. BUT! We have 8 inches between there and shore. So we need to grow the 8 inches to be able to drive out to the thicker ice. We are putting a water pump out on the thinner area to flood it and allow more ice to form on top of the ice that is the...

Merry Christmas! I wish for good ice (very soon) and great fishing for all. And to all good health and times.
