Won't fish blind?! It is the only way to go....

I would fish if I was out there even if I had to lick a hole in the ice

Can you tell I want to go fishing???

So far my only bad luck fishing has been finding fish; skunked four times already. A couple attempts were short lived but the biggest problem for me has been finding safe ice that has more than 2 feet of water below. Snow can stop falling any time!

That’s well worth the wait.

I have been getting home after dark, so I would be heading out blind if I was to go out. Every thing is ready for this weekend and I figure I will get out, but with all the people going threw reports, its turned me off a little. Coupled with the thin ice for Snowmobile and terrible pulling conditions, just have not been motivated enough to go scouting after dark. Do not get me wrong, I am a die hard, but we have not had a year like this in some time.

It sucks, we would have had over a foot plus of good ice by now if we did not have the snow. On the other foot, I have not been on snowmobile this early in many, many years.

Good luck in future trips, I have been on a bad outing or two in the past my self. It involved being out past Doe Island on Mill Laces, a good mile or so from public launch, snowmobile not starting due to water in fuel lines (buddy water skipping the spring before and ran great out to spot), three trips be hand back to trucks and putting a snowmobile on top of an Otter II sled and two of use pushing and one pulling. All this on a Sunday night to boot. We got it done and did have a great day of fishing.
