2024年12月3日 · The ice is in much better condition than I expected. The spot I fished last Friday (3/8 mile out from McKinley Park which had only 3-4 inches of ice) had 9½ inches of ice today (top 1½ inch was frozen slush). I walked out a little over 1/2 mile to fish and found 9 inches of ice (top 1½-2" was white ice).

Fish in about 25-35 feet of water around breaklines, and out in the holes with small jigs and wax worms to catch the crappies. You will run into a few gills too.

2008年12月8日 · Think I caught it before it was going to swallow the minnow and take its 3rd and final run. Was nice to finally catch a laker on Burntside again after 5 straight trips getting skunked. It was a beautiful day on the ice with good ice conditions, warm weather, and fairly calm winds. The creel survey guy stopped and checked on me.

2008年1月30日 · Just wanted to see what everyone thinks is the best battery brand for a fish house. I have 12 volt lights and furnace, so I use two batteries.
