We're getting ready to drive North were fish can be caught :D No, some lakes that are historically good are downright tough right now - Fish are scattered from 10' down to 50'.  And other good lakes in Southern Iowa have marginal ice.  Many people are pounding the farm ponds catching panfish right now.  Hopefully this coldblast will stabilize the fish into a pattern and thicken some ice!

To brisk for most people to get out and fish in with this recent blast of canadian air we got.  High today -2 and the low last night was -17.  I dont mind it though  ;D

#1 tool in the arsenal of an ice fisherman is a good pair of boots,especially when it's this cold!

I've been out every weekend the past month or better. Been doing quite well in eastern Iowa. Mostly fishin' the back waters, with a few small ponds and lakes thrown in for some thing different. Been taking the 3 yr. old daughter with me. She's been having a blast catching all those fish. I don't get to catch very many, to busy with her, but I don't mind it at all. It's great to watch her get all excited over them fish coming thru the hole at her. Well see ya'll on the ice.

I just got back in town yesterday from a week long journey to devils lake and a trip to minnesota the weekend before that. So I plan on pounding IA fish these upcoming weeks....Went to maffit yesterday and the same ole story there, bunch of dink gills, I had a fish suspended at 5 feet under in 12 fow, got my jig up, slammed it, then lost it. Oh well though, going out tonight to try for some evening eyes, hopefully they will produce....Then banner for trout tommorow and possibly weds,  then aquabi for some crappie, and off to Macbride this weekend, i dont have to high expectations from what I have heard of that lake(mbride) this year but who knows...
