Hiya muskyon46...we've been doing good and looking forward to this years hard deck. Haven't seen Echo but have heard its nothing more than a oversized mud puddle. PV water level is way down also. Haven't seen some of those submerged sand bars now showing for 4 plus years. Will be a very interesting hard deck season on PV without a doubt. I have to tell when the water level was low was some of the best ice fishing for us anyways. Hopefully some of those nicer Perch will be around and not the same year class of 7.5-8". Newton by far last season had some very nice Perch 9.5 over 10". Have you ice fished Newton?Ah yes fishon1 if its the same gent we know we've ice fished with him a couple times. Have him tell you the time I had a nice Crappie on and it fell off right at the hole. Wasn't about to let that fish escape. He busted up laughing watching me.Hopefully we can do a couple night trips on PV and try out that light. Only issue I forsee is lugging a deep cycle battery with us and them things are HEAVY. So we shall see possibly night fish when the ice is safe enough for a snowmobile so we don't have to pull a sled with an extra 40-50# battery in it...yikes.All in all life is going good and starting to research the ice fishing do-dads. We have Vexilars but just thinking of upgrading as we've had these for like 4 seasons now. They work great but maybe an upgrade is due.Take Care and hope to meet cha this hard deck season.
i feel the same. i think its going to get cold fast and stay for awhile so that mean we get a lot of ice ok that's what i keep praying for
bring on the slabs and chubby perch i just want to be able to register my sled this year so lets get some snow too. Im in for a get together on the hard deck this season
Hello everyone, I don't think i have met any of you out on the ice or at least did not know it, so hope to meet all of you this year on the hard deck. i cant wait for the ice to get here we have already started to plan our first ice trip of the year. and the ice cant get here fast enough, even my little boy has already started in on me about when we can hit the ice
If everyone wants to do a Utah GTG,send me a list of dates and and I will set up a poll for you to decide what is best date for one.Then we can decide a lake the same way. JT
Being 100% retired, any time, any place will work for me as long as I'm not gallivanting around the country somewhere.
