Last night during the white out a person realized he was completely lost without his GPS so he pushed the "On-Star" button. He told the person he was lost and needed directions. He was told to wait a couple minutes while they located him. When the call came back they told him they would call again in a few minutes as they thought they had a problem with their system and would have to try locate him again because the system told them that, "You're on a lake Sir!
The person on the other end of the line was based in Florida and had never heard of ice fishing or driving ON a lake. shocked.gif After convincing them that he really was on a lake they gave him directions back to shore. smile.gif

Maybe you locals could get together and pay for "ON STAR" for the guy with the dish and the lead suit...Great story.

My wife and i had the same thing happed to us last year.We had rented a house from west wind and took our five children. to make it short, we had our Chev Suburban which has the onstar system.It was -20 that day and before the fish started to bite our two yougest were starting to get restless so they went into th truck. when they came out one of them hit the auto lock so there we sat with no keys to unlock it.Luckily my wife had the onstar number and luckily i had grabbed my cell phone.I cant remember which state the person i contacted was from by they also could not beleive we were on a frozen lake.Once they had located us it only took 2 minutes to unlock it.Once that was all settled,the the fish started to biteand bite they did, the kids had a blast.Hats off to West Wind.Thanxs again.

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      Bait

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
