Anyone else planning on getting one more weekend out of the painfully slow '10-'11 season?

I'll break out the 12 footers to make sure I get at least one more weekend! 8's were just long enough Saturday!

I'm going again.went out last Saturday at hibbard bay,abnaki bay. fishing was great, But coming off the ice was very Interesting. Had to push back and forth a broken piece of ice to get our stuff and crew on to shore.

We caught 9 northerns,1 pickerel 1 largemouth,1 bluegill and about forty perch.

It's only painfully slow if you made it that way...

I dont think so, fished harder and longer and more days than any other season with a lot less luck, hearing the same from just about everyone i talk to as well.

Had a banner season myself. And with this weeks cooler temps/not much sun, its looking like I'll be taking at least another trip or two.

I hope the bite picks up this weekend.  The weekend after the Great Benson Derby, things slowed down for me.  Otherwise its probably one of, if not the best seasons I have had.

I am done, getting the boat ready. Had a great season, best since
 Smelt were legal at bait shops. I scored well on LT, RT and LLS.

I think one more weekend, sure. We may try Button Bay Saturday. Sometimes late season the slab perch are in there and have caught salmon and lakers this time of year too.
Ice fishing is a social activity that may occasionally be interrupted by the catching of fish.
