Reports are 8" I havent been out to check it, I can go not catch eyes closer to home....Well guess we are catching a few but keepers are hard to come by but cats are fun to catch....

ICE CONDITIONS ARE GOOD FOR WHEELERS AND SLEDS. WITH THE FOUR INCHES OF NEW SNOW COVER WE HAVE THE BITE SHOULD TURN ON. CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER+NO SNOW COVER=SPOOKY FISH. I WILL BE OUT ALL DAY TOMORROW AND CAN ALMOST GUARANTEE SOME NICE GILLS AND A LIMIT OF EYES. WILL LET YOU KNOW

I wouldn't be posting but I had to work today . I tried to call in sick and go fishing but every time I called my BOSS THE PHONE WENT TO MY VOICE MAIL  it sucks being self employed and my shack and auger lives in the back of my truck all winter. But some guys I no up there just told me fishing was excellent

I don't care if the fishing is terrible, awesome, world class, if I ever have an afternoon between sick wife, overworked wife, kids sports, kids play practice, funerals, 2 jobs I am gonna go fishing at the lakes.
Every plastics manufacturer claims plastics outfish livebait. So now I use livebait just for the increased challenge.

Was out for a couple hours today on West. Saw 1 atv on Little Emerson while driving by. I measured 5-6" on the south end of Little Millers but no fish. There was 1 atv on Little Millers. I talked to a guy who fished the north end and he only saw 1 dink. I ventured to the main bay a little ways and was on 5". Only saw 2 fish and only 1 bit. Decent ice but slow fishing.

Just call me Ron I will give ya the day off. Only condition is you gotta swing by and pick me up also lmao.

I was on a bus and just happened to be sitting on a news paper. This guy came up and asked. "Are you reading that ?"
I said  yes, stood up, turned the page and sat back down.
