There is no such thing as too much fishing equipment.

You gotta love the secrecy of fishermen, just that secret spot that only your group knows makes you feel awesome.

bnimtz...Boyle Lake like most can be good on early ice.  Has crappies, bluegills and bass.

Tipup Master... I'm coming down to stevensville area tonight and will be spending the night with some family, are there any lakes in the area that are good enough on ice? The only lakes I've fished in the area are Hess lake and singer lake because I'm from Baroda, but I'm not against branching out a little bit to a new lake with good ice.  Thanks in advance for any tips. Pm me if you feel the need.

Quit checking for now. Was marginal near shore at best a few days ago, can only have deteriorated since then. Even if it rains and turns cold, it's going to be spooky and inconsistent for awhile

Not looking good for the weekend. Models are not in agreeance yet but looking to be a mostly rain event
Hug a firefighter and feel warm all over.
