In reality, there are no ice guides... Most of what builders are using are spinning guides, casting guides or fly guides.   For panfish rods most guys are running a size 10 or 12 single foot spinning guide for the guide closest to the reel, the size 2-4 fly guides for the rest.   The one Royce is using had a high frame size 10 Minnama guide.  Great for EITHER a spinning reel or inline. Trust me, Hogsback makes darn nice rods

Well it’s 68 in the living room so today you can call it a summer rod.

Wife has some friends on Winnie this weekend so we considered joining them.  I just looked at the weather and said, meh, maybe not.

 

-29 with -35 to -45 wind chill over night.  High of -10.  The high I can handle but I told her it wouldn’t be more than a break things weekend.

 

I think we’ll keep it local but still get out some.

Smart move me thinks

My leaf spring broke when it was only -3 couple weeks ago. Cold does indeed bring out flaws, maybe being 42 years old contributed. (I do like to repurpose things.) Thankful it was the second leaf and my, on the lake, bandaid fix adding another top leaf got us home with no further issues. It did list a bit to starboard going down I94.

Got out yesterday.  Bought new tires for the wheeler a new fish house and mounted a new graph on the wheeler.  All right before this cold snap.  Had to get out and try my new toys.  One little walleye was all I could manage

[Wanderer]

Temps went down another 6 for Bena!

 

 

Sounds like the friends are catching fish from a day rental at Denny’s though.  No details on type or size but 2 people have toasted the fish gods enough to go through one bottle of Fireball by 10:30 this morning.

 

Wonder why the details are sketchy? 

[pikeandchester]

On Elysian, close to home, catching nothing not even a bite but kids are having fun eating pizza and watching movies. Mom gets a well deserved girls night. -9 now looks like-18 by morning. Hope the truck starts.

[eyeguy 54]

[Wanderer]

Looks like your decorating for Easter out there.

Yep. After about 24 hours I run a little cold water in them to losses the ballon. This also makes them crack up cool. About a dozen drops of food color in balloon works good.

 maybe you could run some water in your bathtub, throw some minnows in there and fish them. Think your beginning to crack Eyeguy.

I cracked many years ago. Just ask my wife and kids and grandkids.
