Unfortunately we do some local folks who have had too much beer and cheese for too long and think this is ok this early in the season.

Let the Darwin awards come out.

Not to knock the ice fisherman but have you seen the guys in Madison fishing ice so thin some guys are sitting on the ice and some are in boats fishing the same spot!

I did try to follow that this year and expect “better fishing” on those days. During those windows of feeding time I did notice more bites, not necessarily bigger bites. Even on the low probability moon cycle days I was still able to produce a good amount of bites by fishing the conditions and getting reaction bites. I encourage you to watch the Bobby Barrack video in SUF school recordings. You will never see a more passionate guy who follows the moon cycles more.

Haha Nice! How big was the lunker?

Delicious!

Big old belly on that guy!

That’s a beast of a Smallie. The kind that keeps you warm on those cold days.

What are the chances these will be available for purchase soon so they can end up in our stockings this year?

Christopher Waters not really. I’ve considered getting some tip ups for the lake at our cabin but that’s about as far as I’ve gotten.

Dude when I drove by the lake today, there were ice fisherman sitting on the ice and boaters fishing the same area where the ice ends. So I guess why not be out there.
