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?

When the resource gets depleted and there aren't anything left but stunted panfish in our lakes, the anglers responsible for this will start barking at the DNR, claiming that they didn't do enough or barking that the muskie or catfish ate all of them. When in reality, the only people to blame are standing in the mirror. Just a matter of time... -

I have kids. I take them fishing and taught them that the point is to enjoy your surrounding and the time had rather than the meal that could be. I rarely, maybe once every couple years do I keep a meal of sunnies, and as for crappies I will keep a meal occasionally, but when I do I do not keep anything over 12.5" and try to stay between 10-12.5" all over and under go back to keep growing. I certainly am glad they are regulating panfish more but I wish they would have placed a slot on bigger sunfish and crappies...something like 1 over 9" on sunfish and 1 over 13" for crappies. Just a thought. -

From Vados Bait's website for waxworms: Check and remove any dead every other day at a minimum. We recommend storing your waxies at about 43-49 degrees. When fishing try to keep them about the same temp and out of the direct sun light. For Eurolarva/spikes/maggots: Very easy to keep. Refrigerate at about 33-35 degrees. In general this might be a little cooler than most people keep their home refrigerator so you may want to use another refrigerator that you can dial down a little colder. Check the bait every two to three days, pick out and throw away any dead. -

Royal Dutchman just went live on FB like 15 minutes ago at what appears to be the Pelland or maybe it was Coot's? They were 9 miles west of IF's. Open water extends west. Not sure how far though. Looks like small boats could be pushed out. -

Now remember, you said I could give you a hard time! 😉 So much of the pressure these days is recreational, not subsistence. I’m gonna assume most consider their catch a bonus or treat rather than a need these days. Most spend more money to catch their own than it would cost to buy it. Again, most... Done keeping at 5 doesn’t mean they have to be done catching. 🙂 -

so much for feeding the family, you all seem to be in the boat of just keep a few. Well i got 6 kids who gotta eat to. So if I'm by myself, you can bet its in the pail if I can legally keep. Give me a hard time if you want i dont care i follow the laws/rules/slots. After talking to a DNR fishery personnel, a 28" walleye most likely not even spawning anymore, but the 22-26 inch ones are supporting the fishery, so releasing the giants only helps 1 fish. Much less if i have kids with, try telling a 5 or 7 year old you have to throw that back, specially sunnies. 5 sunfish is ridiculous, let the kids go on the dock of some lakes and then tell them 10 minutes later, you are done because you got 5, time to play xbox. No wonder less people are fishing, i used to go mil lacs once a year, but cant even justify the cost of fuel if you cant keep a fish. But keep increasing the license cost, more regulations its confusing and makes me wonder if its worth it. -

I buy the big butter dish sized containers every year full of waxies. The one I have now I bought in December and I am still using the same waxies out of that same purchase. The only thing I can think of is the little small plastic containers are too air tight and they die? The butter dish I have has several holes poked in the lid so maybe they can breath better in that dish and end up lasting longer? I get a few that went bad on me but for the most part the entire container is still usable. Its a much better deal to buy in bulk and use them the entire year than buy the little containers each trip.

Question
CigarGuy 246
I just tore down a CS2250s chainsaw and when I was putting it back together I found a part on my bench that I don't know if it belongs to the saw or not. Does anyone know if this is a part that belongs on the saw? I looked over a parts diagram and didn't see it, but I don't want to try running it if it's an important part. It's a little bigger in diameter and thickness than a quarter. Thanks
