Hi all,I have the opportunity to do quite a bit of fishing this winter. I've never ice fished LG before and live about an hour and fifteen minutes away. Here's my idea for your consideration.I want to put up a 16x8 ish shanty with small wood stove and leave it for 5-6weeks somewhere I can leave a vehicle parked from Sat - Monday or Tuesday night. So fairly accessible and on decent perch water would the ideal spot. This would more or less just serve as a camp and starting point, I want to spend most of the time learning to laker fish.I was thinking off MDB maybe? I was also wondering about just setting up on diamond island? Although I'm not sure how ice holds up out there. I'd like to be set up in 2 weeks. Give me idea's or tell me why I'm stupid!!!
"Technically" overnight parking in the MDB lot is not allowed, at least during the rest of the year.
Winter camping sounds terrible. -15 last night.
Its not for the weak or unprepared. I did it in -6 on the ice and it was an great trip.
Maybe an elusive LG walleye!

Take note boys...JonNY sends me this picture and asked to post so everyone stays dry if and when those holes get covered with snow. The powers that be knew the lake was going to freeze. Just another attempt to inhibit ice fishing...
there in there....biggins Can't wait to camp out on the king this year.
You let me know when you are ready and I am in. I have a buddy that is in too. Ive learned a night in the mid 20's allows for some good sleeping!
maybe we should shoot for this Friday and Saturday nite.
mealworm, yes this weekend would be good. Overnight in the 20's but on the wrong side of ZERO. Will you laugh at me if I wear socks to bed?....h2l
