I'm going to wait for more ice before venturing out in the Metro. But I really have the fever to wet a line.

Would anyone be interested in heading to Mille Lacs for the day tomorrow? Isle Bay has plenty of ice. I thought that I'd drive up early and try my luck.

I'm in Maple Grove, 33, NS, MWM.

I've got the fever pretty bad too, and Mille Lacs sounds like the perfect cure. Are you thinking about meeting up there, or are you looking for a partner to ride up with you and share expenses? Either way, I think I'm game.

I'm in northern Brooklyn Park, 33, NS, SWM

computerboy-

Ice Yet and myself have made plans, but you are welcome to tag along. I'm bringing my two-man portable in the back of my truck.

You may need to be self-sufficient. Do you have a portable house? Could we toss it on mine in the back of my pickup? Would you just meet us up there?

We're meeting in Anoka at 10 am and plan to sit into the evening.

Thoughts?

Hey BigDaddy,

I've got a two-man portable and a one-man fishtrap. I'd probably just bring the trap. Are you guys gonna be hoofin it, or is it drivable?

I'll most likely bring my atv to pull the gear. Otherwise, we're hoofing it.

Tell you what, it sounds like you and Ice Yet have got your plans firmed up so I'll let you boys have at it. A buddy of mine just expressed an interest in hitting some hard water tomorrow so I'm probably gonna hook up with him. Not sure where we're going yet, but Mille Lacs is a strong possibility.

BigDaddy, I really appreciate the offer to tag along with you guys. Hopefully we can get together some other time this season and hoist a few.

Good luck and be safe!

      There’s critters out and about.  Get yourself some cellular trail cams and you’ll see.

      It wouldn't be the first time I've heard the USS Skunked Again breaking ice! I left this morning, the rain really did a number to the ice. I'll bet the Partridge River will be open by the weekend.

      My yard is pretty open, but narrow. I think I'll be fine with reception in the areas I'm thinking. I try to keep the hill somewhat natural, but my wife wants to see the lake better. The video's I've watched, they have topped the trees and mounted the dish. I would this the swaying would affect the signal. Does Starlink help you with using WiFi for calling? My T-Mobile service sux at the cabin. Did you bury your cable?

      I'm on the wide part of the channel going in to Black Bay. We won't see Paul B. For years.

      Welcome back. Wow it's been since 2018 it looks like. Did you ever "I'm tightening up my footprint and want to build on my Bozeman lot on the Gallatin"?  😏

      You're probably right. This isn't official since I've already lost, but I'll make my supplemental guess for May 6th since it's still open. 😄   As long as I can snake my way along the shore and/or plow through some dark ice on the 8th, I'll be happy. I love aluminum boats!

      For all of my "problems" with getting a clear signal it's worth it. I can spend more time at the lake because I can work during the day and play or get things done at night. Toss in that I can record and watch a football/hockey/basketball game when I'm done at the end of the day....priceless.   Like your place, our property is more natural and I was worried about having to cut down a bunch of trees. I like that people have to get up close to see our place from the lake through the trees. Luckily I didn't have to do much to get enough a signal that works for me. If I needed to be on video calls, I probably would run the dish down to the shore to get a better view of the sky.   BTW - the main problem with mounting the dish on a tree is that the tree still has a canopy that will block the signal. The best option would be to top a tree and then mount it on the clear-cut top.
