Ouch, that one hurt! Well, we all know how tough these division games are and that the records make no difference when these teams go at it. My hat's off to da Bears for twofering the eventual Super Bowl champs tongue.gif

Not getting home field is the best thing that happened too the packers. I know the running game has improved but its still Favre and the passing game that has too drive this team too the superbowl. This packer team is not designed too play in adverse weather. If the wrong team goes too Lambeau that first playoff game, packer fans better hope the weather is relatively nice or the playoff run could be short.

And the Packer's were supposed to be a cold weather team coming from Wisconsin! Shame on them for playing like a bunch of girls!

Yea, but aren't they something like 0-9 on the road vs the Cowpokes? And isn't that who they might have to play to head to the big dance? Don't matter to me, I just enjoyed the game and will enjoy DTE's avatar posting for the next week.

I've watched and listened to the Vikings ever since they beat the Bears in their first game 36 years ago. Can't think of a game I've missed. I've never really liked the Packers, but have to wish them the best in the playoffs. Favre deserves to go out in style and as a winner for everthing he has done in football-- A classy individual. smile.gif

Hey Windy,

Nice beatdown the Bears gave the Pack, that was almost embarrassing to watch but I watched till the very end. Bears always come out and play their best game against them.

I actually just got back from the Windy City, was there for work & pleasure Monday through Wednesday. Went to the boat in Elgin, took lots of my money, dont know why I go there because I never win. But nice win by the Bears, just glad the Pack got a loss like that out of the way before the 2nd season starts.

Wild,

Glad to see you left a little of the MN money here in the Windy, usually it is my family leaving bushel baskets full up in Cass Lake where we vacation each year. I figured it out once and I think our family spends about $10,000 each year (about 25 family members) and that is not counting what they leave at the Injun casino (Palace).

Anywho, what are your thoughts about having to face the Cowpokes in JR Ewing-ville? Aren't they something like 0-9 there? I think that is why they left Farve in against the Bears even though they were getting their clocks cleaned. I think they were hoping to pull it out to keep home field advantage thru the playoffs. Oh well, we had our Super Bowl this year, twice against the Pack. Now it is time to use that well worn phrase that Cubbie fans seem to use year after year, WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!

Good luck in the playoffs! Represent the Black and Blue!

I think they will have a good chance of beating the boys in Dallas. Not making an excuse but there were a few key players that was injured in the 1st meeting. I think IF they play them it will be alot closer game, hoping the Pack come out on top.

      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!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      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. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      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
