Some great timely replies regarding our future June trip to OT. This message board is really a neat deal!

Anyway, with all of the lakes in the area, where does a dad take his son so that he can catch his first eye? He doesn't know it yet, but if he gets into 'em, he's in for a real treat!

Thanks in advance for the replies!

Peace,

Castaway

Otter Tail or Lida would be my two choices. Actually, Otter Tail. You may not get any huge ones, but certainly should get some fish. Jigs and shinners in anywhere from 15-25 feet of water is what has worked for me in June.

Thanks Hammer 'em! I will make note. I have really heard some great things about OT, but do not know much of Lida. My son (16) gets more excited each day that draws the time nearer. I really look forward to it being a memorable experience for the both of us.

You know what...I'll do something I never do, but I'll give you 1 gps spot on OT that usually never fails for me. Do you have a GPS?? Otherwise hit the mid lake flats and keep movin til you find fish. Once you find them, they will likely bite!

I do not have a gps, but given the nature of the fish, and finding structure, I am confident in finding them, getting them to bite is another story. I am appreciative of your kind consideration! Favorite spots are like a man's gold...hard to share!

Peace,

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!

      I agree on the choices.   I didn't mean to say that a battery auger was better or greener or whatever.  I could care less about that.   It just seems that "most" ice anglers have made a switch to a battery auger in recent years.  That's all I was saying.  I know about a dozen people who regularly ice fish and they all have battery augers now.  I bet if you conducted a survey of all ice anglers, the majority would answer that they use a battery powered auger.

      Best weed eater I've ever run with great longevity is Echo, I'd check them out

      Hey government,  Just give us choices. I don’t care what people use as long as as it works for you. I’m needing a new weed eater. Plan on a Stihl FS 40 easy start. I’m done with the cheaper brands. Just don’t last long enough.  Probably true with the Stormy Daniels of the world as well. Cheaper don’t last long enough 🤭

      If you turn on a movie they survive the 20min ride just fine. After many controlled experiments, I've found that they survive much better if you show "Finding Nemo" instead of "Jaws."
