Yesterday was a fairly quiet on on the ice.  Not many out and those that were reported the bite was a little slow,

We spent the day moving rentals and setting them up for the weekend, and today we are racing to get everything else ready before the wind and deep freeze turns on tonight.  With the couple inches of “fluff” snow we have with 30-40 mph NW winds and sub-zero temps will make tonight and Thursday morning a time not to be doing much out there if possible, and then we will plow things out as the winds die down in the afternoon and Friday for the weekend.  At least the weather is going to moderate and be pretty good for the weekend. Cold, but tolerable for sure.

We are out on the Banana Reef now and if the ice doesn’t do much more cracking out there we will be letting wheelhouses out on it this weekend also. With this cold weather and cold ice wheelhouse will need to keep their speeds down or they will be breaking up roads. It’s really getting sickening to have to constantly remind them to drive slow.  It’s like some just don’t care about others out there, or the resorts efforts to provide them with good access to a fishing spot. The ice fishing community doesn’t need fishermen like that, and maybe it’s time they start talking about it among themselves.

Keep a Tight Line!    Eddy
