I'm headed up ice fishing in a couple of weeks. I was just wondering what the snow situation is up there. Does anybody have an idea on how much snow or slush is on the lakes. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks.

Schwanny,
I would assume that you are going out on lac des mille lac? I talked to some folks up there that were saying there is quite a bit of slush on there but there was some areas that were firm enough for sled or atv travel. Have you fished this area much? I am interested in learning more about this lake and others in the area so would sure appreciate any reports or info you could pass on to me.If your still interested in more info on this area let me know and I can hook you up with the few resources I have found. Best of luck to you up there.

I have fished the lake the past 10 - 12 years and know it quite well (summer). I started ice fishing the lake last year and had a blast. We are going up this next weekend (13th - 17th). We usually stay at Pine Point. Larry and his wife just sold their share of the resort to another couple from Wisconsin. If you are looking for any info. I would be glad to help you out. If you go to pine-point-resort.com and go to the pictures, there are two guys holding up a stringer of walleye. The big guy is me and my wife is right next to it holding a northern that is on our wall.

Hello again schwanny,
Good to hear of your past good luck on the lac. We haven't been over to pine point but stayed at sawmill bay last fall. Only fished one day at the mouth of the savanne river and had a blast. Weather was brutal(snowing and high winds) but we caught fish!My wife and I actually own a section of land east of upsala that we bought a couple years ago and am very intersted in learning as much as possible about the lakes in this area. We plan to build a little no frills shack up there and use it as a fishing getaway place someday. (People always look at us like we're crazy when we say that!)So far I have found the area fishing to be decent but have a lot of water to explore. I'm interested in anything you can pass on about this area. Could you email me at [email protected] and I'll gladly pass on the sources of info I have found. Thanks and good fishing to you!

      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…

      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.
