I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point. You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. . -

Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay. -

On the south end... Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing. The bite remains very good. Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides. Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent. A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go. Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week. Monster pike are on a tear! Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water. As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions. Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River... The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp. This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps. Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th. Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river. Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good. When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again. Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river. Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well. Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well. Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring. The bite has been very good. Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle... Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle. Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week. The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish. The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well. Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay. Call ahead for ice road guidelines. -

With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end! -

A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯 -

I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again. I'll give my revised guess of April 21st -

As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range. Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger. Just thought they always looked cool! -

I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story. You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment. Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal. I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect. I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol No Ruger 10/44s. Jim

Question
LaZyDayZ
Was I out of line?
Until this is resolved I am not giving enough info to allow you to determine the dealer or manufacturer. I can tell you with no doubt the equipment is from a well known Manufacturer that has a reputation for quality. The dealer is relatively new.
Scenario:
I bought an accessory for some equipment 2 weeks ago. Easy to install, 6 screws and plug-in the cable. Once installed I couldn’t get it to work so after troubleshooting I called the Tech Support dept of the Manufacturer. They walked me through some adjustments and determined it to be a faulty piece on the accessory. 3 days later I received the new part and installed it. It still did not work. As this is an add-on accessory I wanted to make sure that my original equipment wasn’t at fault so I took it to friends who owns the same accessory and tried his on mine and it worked perfectly.
At this time I am a little frustrated but hey some times stuff happens. I call the Tech support back and they trouble shot it some more but could find nothing wrong and suggested I take it to the local dealer. Following his advice I make an appointment to have it checked out.
Yesterday 9/20/06 was the day of my appointment. I had my equipment in early and went to work. Around 10 the dealer called and asked me a few questions about what I had tried. I listed off all that I had tried explaining I had been messing with this part for probably 6 hours. Told him about new part, etc, etc. I also made the comment confidence was low that they would be able to fix it as I had exhausted a lot of options (all the manufacturer could think of) At the end of the day I drove back out to find that they stopped working on my equipment and they had determined there was nothing wrong with it, but still could not get it to function. At this time I am a little upset but maintain my composure. Then they pull out the bill for $200 and I get uneasy.
I explain that I bought the faulty equipment from you, and on the advice of the manufacturer I brought it in to be checked out. You tell me it all checks out but you can’t make it work and expect me to pay $200. Now I’m mad!
The main tech tells me it must be my equipment and I explain to him I took it to friends with same accessory and it worked perfectly. His response, “I don’t know that.” Mine, “You’re calling me a liar?” He pats the parts guy on the shoulder and walks back into the shop. For lack of better words at this time I AM PISSED. I tell them I paid $200 for the original part, now you want $200 to tell me its fine but it still doesn’t work. No way! You can take it back! He explains this is what his boss would have him do. I ask for the boss but he is away at a meeting.
At this time I am done working with these people and call up the manufacturer on my cell phone. I get the same tech who told me to take it in to shop. I explain the whole thing to him and he seems amazed. He asks me to give my cell phone to the parts guy. After a few minutes on the phone they hang up and the parts guy tells me the manufacturer is covering the labor to check it out under the warranty and also they are sending me new equipment at no charge. I finally feel like I am getting some customer service and calm a little. Realizing I had been rather stern with my tone I apologize to the parts guy and go out in the shop and apologize to the lead tech. He goes on to tell me what set him off was my comment earlier in the day about me not having faith in them being able to fix it. I explain to him it was not a lack of faith in there ability but more a lack of faith that there was anything left to trouble shoot. Just replace it. He then shoots me an I’m sorry too.
To make %100 sure, last night I replaced my original equipment the accessory fits on with a bran new one. The problem is still the same.
Next week when the new part arrives I will be taking it back to the shop. To tell you the truth I would prefer to never return.
Am I wrong here? What ever happened to customer service?
Wouldn’t you think they would call the manufacturer? I think he was calling me a liar.
What would you do or have done?
