Winter doesn't want to go on vacation this year. 4-6 inches of snow two days ago, an inch last night, and another possible 8 inches coming Sunday night through Monday afternoon.
Below freezing temps nightly, and for most of the day isn't helping our 25-30 inches of ice and snow, to melt on the lakes. :banghead:
Unless we get some 50+ degree, around the clock weather,  and rain for a week to ten days, it's looking bleak for the ice being off the larger lakes for the fishing opener. :cry:
Will keep you posted weekly. :happy1:

If there is ice on opener, can you use 2 tipups or only 1 :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Anything that is free is worth saving up for.

Hunting is not life and death. It is more important than that.

The 2 line rule may very well be in effect, much to the dismay of many!! :banghead:
