the heater body suit

I doubt it. Usually the body doesn't get cold, jut fingers and toes. Then again, if you are flexible enough, maybe you can get your hands and feet into your jacket.

I dont have one but they look nice. I just spent the money on extreme weather camo. I am plenty warm.

I bought one a few years ago and they are very warm. The year I bought it, was the deer season opener of -20F. I was able to stay in the stand that morning for 5 hours. Now the downfalls 1)too bulky to carry into the stand 2)very hard to put on without falling over, however I was putting on the booties that came with it 3)Since that opening morning, we haven't had that cold of weather.

I would not purchase another one. I would use that money to buy good quality bibs, jacket and boots.

I bought one about 8 years ago and although I don't use it every time out, it does help me to sit longer than I would without it. IMO, it is worth the money if you sit for 5-6 hours or more at a crack or if it is real cold. When we had that 15-20 below a few years ago I sat from sunrise till 3:00 PM and was just a little chilled. I have also used it bowhunting in late December and stayed toasty. It is a little bulky to get into but once in it I think it works good. I used a sleeping bag prior to buying this and that worked OK. The heater body suit works better though. If you stand sit for long periods I think you will like it. I usually haul it out to my stand the day before and hike out dressed light and pack in my coat. I would buy one again if the extra money was available.

I would agree that you should take a look at the Artic Armor wear. They have the red suit and the camo for hunting. I recieved my camo one today and put it on and was walking around outside to see how it fit and how it was when bending and so forth.

This will be a great addition to my hunting clothes. Check the suits out here

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
