I fished out on teal lake with some friends today. It was cold out there, lots of blowing snow and a sub-zero wind chill. The fishing wasn't great. The ice was good though, 14" everywhere more in some places. Lots of trucks driving around. I was thinking about taking mine out but I'll wait another week. There should be plenty of ice for the derby tomorrow. If you are fishing, dress warm and bring a shanty if possible. It's supposed to be a balmy high of 0 tommorrow. Good luck to everyone out there.
