I have noticed that East of Adrian's rd after crossing pine Island a mile or so is a second road that runs closer to the border. Anyone know who it belongs to, there seems to be a great deal of traffic on it and I have looked to see if it comes off Adrian's but can't find how to access it. Does sportmans have one out that way?

My buddy was on a dusk / night crappie bite so I joined him for a couple days of fun. He has been getting increasingly good with a smoker and said he has caught a few whitefish in past years and would love to catch a few for the smoker. Ironically, on the second day I saw a fish on the Markum a few feet under the ice and I recognized this from other catches as a potential white fish. I brought it up an nabbed a nice one. This got me thinking. Anyone know why white fish cruise so close to the top of the ice? Do minnows also cruise up high or is this a plankton thing? Or both? The crappies were either at 10' or on the bottom at 20'. We did catch one crappie also at 5' but in two nights of fishing that was the only two fish marking that high.

Maybe a dumb ?
Just got a used tandem axle ice castle. When lowering...which axle pin should be removed first? The one closest to front of fish house, or the one closest to the crank? Or does it not matter?

What’s your rod box. I grabbed a Flambeau today to upgrade since a good buddy made me a 36 inch ice rod. I added foam to the bottom and took out the dividers and it looks like it will work dandy. Got them all in and some boxes for different plastics. Won’t know till it warms up! All snug when I close it up.

Well, hope the title made you look😁. Getting real sick of the frozen tundra feel that has engulfed our neck of the woods the last week. This kinda weather ain't much fun to be outside for more than a few min at a time... Starting to go a little crazy sitting around instead of being on the ice😒 Anybody making it out?

There are a few organizations out there that offer a lot of fun outdoor fish and hunt trips at no or close to no cost. I have been on a few so thought I would share. Not all are for LEO. Info on trips is always on FB. 2020 was not as busy but its starting to pick up again. Fishing with Vets. Hometown Hero Outdoors Community. Take a Vet Fishing. Time on the Water. We Got Your Six Outdoor Adventures. A lot of great people doing this and have met some really nice people.

Another proposal to ban certain items of lead in fishing tackle has been introduced. I think this came to a bubble in 2018 when they tried to do it plus banning lead ammo on public lands. The current proposal does not include ammo (as far as I can tell) and only applies to jigs and sinkers less than 2.5 inches in length. In 2018 it did not pass. If passed, it would take effect July 1, 2025.

So now that there are many options out there, what are people thinking on the new electric augers? I have been impressed with the drill attached augers that I have used this year and also the Strikemaster 40v electric auger. For next year I will certainly be investing into one of these options as they are so powerful, quiet, and dont use gas!!! I now have used a kdrill and Strikemaster drill attachments and both are nice but the strikemaster rips throught the ice faster than the kdrill IMO. I love how I don't need to worry about gas spilling onto by ice suit and don't need to worry where the exhaust is!! The one thing I found using a drill is they are very powerful and that you do not want to stop mid hole and try to restart as you may end up with a broken arm the way the thing grips!!!! (Lucky I didn't break my arm!) It appears Millwaukee and Dewalt are the most common Drills I have seen used for the auger attachments. I am leaning towards a drill attachment combo rather than one of the electric models as I just don't see the reason why I would go that route and have an auger that can only be used for an auger where the drill set up I still have a powerful drill to use on projects around the house.
What are some pro's and con's you all have come up with since using the electric augers and or the drill attachments augers opposed to a gas auger?

With the incoming low pressure system we had coming in yesterday, I figured the fish would be snapping... They didn't disappoint😉. I started off the morning in 12-14 ft of water off a long shoreline flat. The Vexilar was lit up like a Christmas 🎄... Unfortunately, most of the fish were smaller bluegills with some very nice crappies hanging together. The trick was to drop my bait down, and if I don't get a crappie to race up within about 30-45 seconds and slam my bait, the bluegills would rush in to steal my offering. This meant a heck of a lot of hole hopping, I bet I looked nuts jumping from hole to hole like a mad man🤣 By noon the crappies had totally left the area I was in, or so I thought. I spent the next two hours drilling holes, up and down the shoreline, shallow and deep, all but the baby bluegills were missing, even the bass that roam the area quit biting. I was just about ready to pack up and change lakes when I figured I'd drill a couple more holes super shallow, just for the hell of it... I drilled three holes that were 2-4ft deepish from bottom of the ice. I dropped the camera down, because it was too shallow to use the Vexilar effectively, to my surprise the crappies had indeed moved through the weedline, to shallow pockets clear of vegitation . For the next two hours I fished between these super shallow holes, the crappies and a few nice bluegills were very aggressive and most hooked them selfs because they bit so hard. They were spooky though, I found if I moved too much or made even a little noise, the fish would spook and it would take a few min to come back. I started off the day using a jointed pinhead minnow to catch the deeper fish. The pinhead has become my go-to when on aggressive crappies or when working an area fast. A insect mimicking bait definitely was key once they moved to the skinny water. First pic was best of morning, sunny and beautiful out, I think I even got a little sunburn...lol Second pic was best one of the afternoon, after it became overcast -
