I meant to post this earlier but here it is.  I was able to take my 3 boys and the sleeper house out last Friday (12th) on an area lake as they didn't have school.  Was able to get the house set up by

This past weekend the Red River Boat Show took place and that is a sign that the short-lived ice fishing season will not be lasting forever and in Minnesota seasons are starting to near the end.  Some

Anyone know when the Lida ice tournament this year missed it last year and was talking to a buddy about going last night but didn't know the date...

Any help would be great.

this are some monster blues and nice specks. just wondering if anyone has found the bigger pannies on Lida yet. I try to stay on the outside edge of the main groups. are they tending to be shallow? deeper? have had no luck out there, buy on smaller lakes 15-25ft seems to be the sweet spot.

My lord BB! That looks like a good nights work. I think I have an idea of where you were hunkered down. Will be hitting the ice this weekend in search of fresh lake monsters!

Last couple times out fishing has been decent, but a very light bite. I've gotten most of my crappie watching the camera and using light line, small glow jigs. The crappie have been comming into the jigs slow, bringing the jig in and spitting it out imediatly. So with the camera I've been able to have decent fishing, but the bite is so light I can't even see it on the spring bobber. Since the bite turned really light the crappie have been in the bottom 2 ft of the water column. Sunfish have been slightly more agressive than the crappie. For bobber fishing with out camera a crappie minnow with a small red hook out performed glow jigs for me last weekend. For me the morning bite has been best, followed by the day bite. When the shadows start getting long in the evening when I usually get excited for the crappies they have been about done biting for me. Any one else seen a lack of a evening bite but good daytime fishing. By the way nice post chopshop.

Thinking of hitting a tournament on Star Lake today. $10.00 entry fee from 11:00 to 2:00 out of the Galaxy Resort. You can use portables or houses and enter from the resort. You do have to stay in the area of the resort. No idea on prizes, but it's been years since I've fished one and I have wanted to get on Star this winter.

New moderator, congrats bbfenatic.

Got out yesterday after "digging out" and getting everything cleaned up with the snowblower...just went to a smaller lake close to my place and got a few gills & crappies, nothing great...fish were finicky....even the crappies were biting very light...had to drop the rod tip at first hint of a bite then set the hook otherwise I could not get a hook in them. Pic of the biggest...13".

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!

      I agree on the choices.   I didn't mean to say that a battery auger was better or greener or whatever.  I could care less about that.   It just seems that "most" ice anglers have made a switch to a battery auger in recent years.  That's all I was saying.  I know about a dozen people who regularly ice fish and they all have battery augers now.  I bet if you conducted a survey of all ice anglers, the majority would answer that they use a battery powered auger.
