Iceman, 1 inch already. Man I would love to live up north in MN. I was on the ice last year in IN by Dec 15Th. Hey,don't let college get in the way of your fishing, ha ha ! I'm Camping this weekend in a tent. It's my son's boy scouts troop Polar camp out. 34 high 23 low. No heaters allowed. BRRRRRR!! Hey Chapstick Charlie, I got a bunch of walleye jigs , lots of packs marked down to 88 cents. And a few of my favorite moon glow jigs.
