Well we popped up from Sauk Rapids today just to get out. Went out at west about 3 1/2 miles. Set up and fishing by 11:45. Thought we would go till about 7 but decided with the wind the way it was to break down in daylight so we quit at 3:45. Man the wind was wicked! Had a blast playing with my new LX3. Partner had a camera and a few northerns that came by were huge. Released 9 nice eyes and had 2 toothy critters steel 2 jigs. The one time we went last year it was 13 below and half as windy. Maybe our third time up we'll pick a better day grin.gif Somebody turn that giant fan off please!!! We were hoping to get a pic of a crappie but right before we quit dirty dog got a double on eyes so we quick snapped a picture. My wife says we are crazy. After today I almost think she's on to something wink.gif

I have a LX3 they are great. Did you get the digital display that shows you what percent your battery is? If you have that charger you can keep it plugged in all the time and not worry about over charging it because it kicks out

      Just gotta use some common sense and have some ice safety gear.  If I hadn’t duffed the shot on the buck on the last day of rifle season, I’d probably be on the ice this weekend also.  Instead, I’ll still be chasing some vennie.

      just seen a report on fartbook the pines resort on winnie had 8-9 inches in the bay.  they did warn any further out the ice has not been checked, like over by the river!!!!!

      Looks like Vermilion froze overnight on Monday, which would make it officially frozen Tuesday, December 3.  I am going out to McKinley Park Friday morning to check out the ice conditions and possibly fish.

      Looking at the webcams, I don't see any open water. Is Big Bay completely frozen over yet?   The forecast looks like a few inches of snow Sunday/Monday followed by temps below zero.

      I'd say lakes under 500 acers less than 40 ft deep. They're targeting panfish. We're making ice everyday. Windy today, terrible roads, lots of people decided that they needed to drive fast and that unfortunately led to some vehicles doing some incidental off roading

      Fall was like a month long.  Maybe even less.  I'm quite a bit south of you but I can recall fishing in short sleeves in late October.  Less than a month later, prior to Thanksgiving, winter arrived.   September and most of October were way more like summer than fall.  Kind of too bad, I like fall.

      is that 5-6 inches on smaller lakes or ........... bigger water bodies. i'm guessing knowing the lakes i fish or would like to should maybe have more. i will be seeing a former coworker who livws of hwy 6 north of deer river saturday, hoping he's got a good report.   he's a neighbor and good friend to CO Fairbanks so should get some good intel. i know Mike well too!

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.
