Has been pretty warm in the north east but I would think the past week or so has made most of our smaller lakes better. I don't know of anybody that has been out yet in our area I am sure there have been some but most are still hunting.

 Ten below every night here ....Mcgregor iced over ......won't be long ....got a new Ion
  Auger....itchin to drill ...

So anyone out here in the south over the weekend?  Now that the hunting season is officially over for me its time to start drilling holes.  Any reports?

Something I plan on getting into this year but will have to go buy some gear first.

Went by the big lake today,, not a stitch of ice on Cold Lake yet. The marina isn't even completely froze over. If it doesn't get a lot colder the lake may not completely freeze.

Personnely I would love it,, it would keep the heavy ice fishing pressure the lake sees and we may have some decent fish caught next summer on the open water.

La Biche Lake.

Walleye are biting, slow but steady. Taking minnows on tip ups. 15' seems to be the ticket.

8" ice, quaded on no problems.

Not that I heard of no.. But I am hoping to get out for some maybe this week or the coming week.. We will see.
