Fishing continues to be off to a great start in NW reaches of sconnie. Not a lot of vehicle traffic yet, but lots of snow sleds and ATVs. Lakes are showing anywhere from 8" to 15". Early ice brought great early walleyes off of tip ups and now we have switched to chasing the gills n craps on area lakes. Best walleye action can be found on the St Louis River (caught 5 tonight with a buddy). Looking forward to 2013 bein a great year of angling!!! Happy New Years Folks and feel free to check out this nice little story on the upcoming season:

Still walleye season over here. With the recent consistent weather with comfortable temps, we have got these walleyes patterned. It is fun to catch the big females that are putting on the feed bags. Flyers, buck shots, raps, machos, imposters, frostys, etc etc. Some times of the day these gators are not picky. I even caught one yesterday using a jig n minnow. Looking forward to getting back at her today and tomorrow, and the next day....so on and so on. Good fishN;)

Now that the regular season is over here in Wisconsin, we have switched gear and are now targeting the species I like to call Calico Bass (AKA - Crappies). This last week we worked the Spooner, WI area and after searching several different lakes we were finally able to locate a nice population of nice sized calicoes in a small 100 acre lake. These were roaming basin crappies that need to be chased in order to keep up with them. Targeting new areas was key to entice non pressured fish. Sometimes they would come in flurries, and sometimes they would be spread out over the day... Best hook ups came on waxies or crappie minnow heads. Some fish were pretty aggresive that they would of probably chased and ate about anything in the tackle box. Good FishN everyone!!!

"Report from Houston's Guide Service of Superior, WI. Walleyes have been on munch in the Twin Ports region. Can't report much on other species because we have been staying with the Walleyes. Roller coaster temps have had somewhat of an effect on the fish, but make no mistake, fish can be caught in sub-zero temps. Been catching fish in shallow waters from 5-15'. Tactics have included minnow heads tipped on jigging spoons, raps and chubby darters. On the real cold days, best action has been on full live chubs and dead stick techniques. Best times have been the 7:30-10:00 am slot, as well as the 2:30-dark. However a few have been picked off in the high noon hours as well. Ice conditions are starting to get better with the slush pockets finally starting to form up. We have ice anywhere from 12" inches to 16" inches. Some areas have vehicle travel, but most bodies of water are still to messy. Stay safe out there and goOD FiShN!

Off to a nice start again this year. Especially with the early ice. It is uncertain what the recent warm up will do, but we will definitely be up to speed on the current reports. Hope to see some of you at the 2nd annual Duluth Ice fishing show this coming weekend!

Here are a few picks from the "ice fishing opener"

Like most of you, I have the itch to get out and hit the hard water.  However, it is also a great time to get out and mark spots on the GPS as potential ice spots.  Also, gives us a chance to put on the blue suit and start using our winter electronics (pending conditions are right)  Fish are snapping in the twin ports area and we will have our pulse on them all the way through hardwater.  Tight lines team,

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
