[Bob Horn]

Well not really. I fished off the dock at blackwell. Here is pic of one of seven fish I caught. Yes, that is my cell phone.

Did you get that checked in at an offishial scale?

I could not see for sure, cause there was traffic, but I think there was lots of open water on Diamond Lake in Mundelein.

Bad year for ice fishing. Even the guys in MN are crying, unless they are WAY north.

OK, so you got me Bob.

But in reality, there is some Ice to get on around here. Some of the backwaters had fishable ice when we got home. Lets hope this weather holds it up.

May head up north again this weekend. Mad town or ???

Not that I'm happy about MI getting cancelled but I get to see my son take his TKD test Saturday instead.

Need some ice for Sunday. I'm looking forward to not haveing to go north. Doing the Ice dance here.

I'll keep you posted.

I'm hoping that the ice holds and we get the cold weather this weekend. It would be nice to travel an hour or less to do some icefishing.

This guy hasn't been crying. In fact, I don't mind the fact that most of the ice in MN isn't thick enough yet for vehicle traffic. It keeps a lot of anglers off of the lakes. We've got a big shot of cold coming in now and pretty soon, everyone will be driving 1 ton diesels w/ drop axle fish houses. Doesn't anyone know how to fish out of a bucket anymore?

Been a good year so far, hope you guys get some ice soon!

It sure is nice when you have most of the lake to yourself. Nice and quite getting away from the rat race. Then ice is thick enough to drive on and the rat race comes to you.
