I'm hoping to get a report of the road conditions in the G.R area. I'm hoping to head up tomorrow. I would be traveling up 169. Sounds like there is going to be two waves to the storm. Tonight and tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping to be traveling between the storms. Weatherman says 6"-8" up there. I hope to make it to the crappie club meeting on Sat. morning but I don't want to travel on icy roads. If you could leave some posts tomorrow morning after the 1st storm has past I would be grateful. I will make a decision then. Thanks and hopefully I'll see some of you on Saturday!!!

We got snow alright. I'd say 6 in. minimum here in Rapids, haven't measured it yet. It's stopped dropping flakes completely now but the same thing is supposed to happen again tonight. So, unless an angel plows Dunbar or fixes my snowmobile, I'll be walking on the lake tomorrow. Was gonna go trout fishing early this morning but got stuck home shoveling the driveway instead. The roads should be pretty decent today--the plows have been out all night long workin on em. Hope you can make it up here. Heck, I hope I can make it up there.

Good fishin

Thanks for the weather info. I made it up Friday afternoon. Good timing, it was in between storms and roads were fine. Woke up Saturday morning to snow and that brutal wind. Decided that I the roads to dunbar would be pretty slick. Bummer!! I went and tried a small lake near me. Little Island is about 60 acres and tucked down with high tree banks around it. I located a school of nice sized crappies and set up my portable. I starting catching a few and then the **** wind tipped my portable over with me in it!!!
I knew it was bad out but I never thought it could flip over with me in it. Im lucky nothing went in the hole. I have been blessed with the luck of dropping stuff through the ice. I quiclky yelled Uncle and got the hell out of there. Frustrating weather!! I was hoping for 40 degrees and cold beer. I got 30 mph wind and frozen beer. Oh well thats how she goes. I did make it out on Sat. night for a few hours. Without the portable. Stood in the wind and caught about 10 crappies. Cold!! Cold!! Cold!!
Let me know when the Cpappie club is going to reschedule. I'll try to make it.

I was about two thirds of the way to the island from the resort. In about 30ft. I didn't mark that many fish but when I got my lure down there they didn't waste any time biting. I would have loved to fish longer but the wind just wasn't blowing my way that day.
Actually it was blowing my way quite a bit.

      I found this dock wheel floating in Black Bay. If it's yours or you know whom it belongs to, go and grab it.

      Most years for opener I drive up on Thursday. This year it was Friday afternoon so I figured bait would be tight. The only place that I stopped was L&M in Virginia. They said that they sold out of rainbows by 11am. I got crappie minnows and never needed the rainbows. All my walleye were caught dragging raps. The crappie minnows....well, you know what they caught.

      Did you have any luck?     I got a bird but didn’t really do much for pics worth showing.

      It depends on a lot of factors, I suppose.   I hung on to my last gas auger for a few years after getting into electric but I never used it so I finally sold it.  Haven’t missed it one bit.  You bet it was reliable though.  Still started on the second pull for the new owner.   After trying several options in the electric world, I’m currently settled on a Strikemaster 40V with Liteflight bits.  With 2 fully charged batteries, I fish all day in Canada, cutting 10 inch holes.     What I’ll agree with is, if you search by drilling and flasher sonar, you will probably be more comfortable with the run time of a gas auger.  When you start incorporating GPS mapping, forward facing sonar, and saved waypoints, you don’t need to Swiss cheese every spot you fish.  I can still run through both batteries when the fishing isn’t great but I never feel like I have to count my holes.  It’s more like: Did I need the second battery before the middle part of our fishing hours?  If I still can’t catch fish after running out 2 batteries, it doesn’t matter cuz the fish just ain’t biting.   That’s fishing on the dark side! 😉

      Yep, that's where I was🤪. Best fish were way up in the shallow boulders...   And.....if the 3 or 4 people that read this want to fish it.... go right ahead😁😏  My bass spots are no secret....trophy panfish spots, that's another story🤪
