Sounds like you had one of my fishing trips. Stay safe out there on that ice.

The ice is good got about 14-15 inches, we have had a pretty cold winter so far this year so that has helped out alot.

I am telling you some fresh fish sure does sound good to me right about now.  Do you use a shelter with heat Chad? I am anxious to see you explain how you pick a spot on the ice and set up shop and what type of bait you use and so on. If you have a chance sometime.

Most of the time you need a shelter.  It would be pretty cold standing out on the ice when its    -10 out.  We use small propane heaters to keep nice and toasty.  As far as finding a spot, the easiest way is drill a hole with your auger and put down a portable depth finder to get the depth and look for fish.  Once you have a spot picked out set up the shelter, drill your holes and start fishing.  As far as bait goes it depneds on the type of fish you are going after.  Sunfish we use a waxworm, like a grub.  Crappies, walleyes, and northerns use minnows.  I use to have a permenant fish house that I left out on the lake all season, but it got to be more work and always getting broke into.

Wow, its that cold!!!!!!!!  I like the sound of heat. I gotta wonder how much fishing I would be doing hugging that propane heater all the time. I guess if you were in a shelter a propane heater would get things pretty toasty though.

Well been doing a little fishing lately.  Been going after crappies the last 2 saturday nights and caught our limits each night.  The size isn't all that big, but big enough for for meals.  It now seems like our hot lake is going to winterkill this winter.  So usually when that is going to happen the DNR will open the lake up to unlimited fishing.

Well, this was our first fishing trip of the year and even though we had to fight the wind, we did alright.
In between the two of us, the wifey and I caught about 10 fish including about 3 good sized catfish and a decent large mouth bass. I couldnt get the crappie to bite but heard that they were biting strong just 1/2 mile away from where we were. This was the last weekend for spoonbilling and we seen alot of monster spoonbill from the fisherman who went to the low side of Truman dam.
First two shots were of one of the big cats and the second two shots are of the wifey's largemouth. "she was proud of that one and we ended up taking it home with us."

Here are the shots that I took of a couple of catfish that we caught. That prego one, in the last two shots, is one of the longest catfish that I have ever caught.  Remember, I wear a size 12 shoe.
I felt her fight when I was reeling her in.

You guys need to share some of your fish recipes. I usually just grill mine with lemon and onion and a little bit of lemon pepper.

Well, I have all my surf fishing stuff ready to go. I just looked at the fishing reports from the beach and they didn't inspire confidence. Oh well, it will be nice to sit on the beach with a pole in one hand and a cervesa in the other. I am trying a new "fish finder" rig this time that is supposed to be good for striper and big drum. I will see how it works. I know one thing, stripping line off two surf reels and installing new is a pain. I did learn a few good nots I hope to put to good use to. Maybe I will be able to put a pic or two up when I get back. Probably not, but who knows?

Did a little fishing this past weekend for the first time this summer.  Used the new boat and it works great.  Saturday me and my dad went walleye fishing up on Mille Lacs Lake.  Got a few bites, but no fish.  We left after 4 hours of fishing and headed to the casino to pick up my mom.  I played some video poker for awhile and hit 2 $250 jackpots.  So I can home $400 to the good.  On Sunday I went out on my home lake of Big Lake bass fishing.  Had a pretty good morning, caught around a dozen fish.  The biggest was a 19 inch, 4 1/2 pounds.  It was my first fish of the morning and only being there for about 10 minutes.  The other bigger fish was around 2 1/2 pounds.  Got pics of the 2 bigger fish.  I kept the bigger one to mount this winter.
