With the weather conditions what are peoples  thoughts with their well houses. I'm going up north till Sunday afternoon wondering if   i should take my house off or not. I have a  truck and no 4 wheeler. Don't want it too be stuck out there when I get back.

I think it will be alright but i would be lying if i said i wasnt thinking what to do myself.

There will be no ice loss, just a sloppy mess, so make sure that you have your houses on blocks. Worst thing to set it in standing water then it freezes and youre stuck. I would not worry about losing any ice though

Blocks. Make sure it's on blocks. In case it's unclear, use blocks. 

I'm more concerned about the accesses than my house. Areas with a slope and melting snow run off are going to be a mess. Add rain to the mix and it's worse. I'll be checking on my house daily and be prepared to make the move off the lake if needed.

Plus+1 the lake landings are going to take a huge hit this week.:(

I'd pull it off to error on the side of caution.  You can always put it back out there in the future.

Was on waconia last night wasnt to slushy but the first 50 yrds was already pretty icky. Ended up taking house off just for peace of mind. Thats why i bought a new house for ease of operation. Only takes a few minutes. Will only take a few to go back out in a few days as well.

Had any walleye luck on waconia?

Only fishing for crappies. With a baby at home only get a few hours after work to fish.

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.

      Too bad she’s after big game when she leaves home.  Your one eyed trouser trout might not lure her in. 😉
