Out on Peach/Ogemaw for 5 hours today, but headed in before the storm hit.  Cold out, but in the Clam with a heater and everything was fine.  Slow fishing, only 4 perch caught and released, but lots of fish marked on the sonar.

Lousy... we were just south of 16 mi rd. on Lk. ST. Clair and we caught 2 perch, then we went to the raft and caught Zilch. we did see about a 30 inch Musky check out our bait but that was it.
And I agree this was one of the worst condition's I've ever fished in.

HEY ! FLI-FSHR  maybe you would want to share where you caught those Northerns. because I promised my 17 yr old nephew and his friend I would take them tomorrow, it's their first time ice fishing and I would like to show them any kind of action even if they are on the small side. and yes I did try to talk them out of going tomorrow ( because of the #%&*#$! weather) but they have hearts set on going. or if anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
thank you.

Ah.......500 Yards out on Reeds Lake today...Caught 12 Doinks which were Specks..and a 4" Bluegill...the only thing I dreaded was looking at the Fire Barns which looked like a TOY and saying to myself..I have to walk all the way back..

I did call my favorite radio station 91.3 and John told me that the wind chill was at 25 Below...

I left..but at least I went.

Got in my Grand Jeep Cherokee Limited and went out for a Delicious Coffee and Hamburger..

Ya'll Take care...It's going to be a c-c-cold one out there again tomorrow..

I was out on pine lake in Allegan county.  The temp was -2 Fahrenheit at 7:00 a.m in the morning.  I was fishing for gills and specs...fishing was slow and size was on the small side.  I had two lanterns going in the shanty just to keep it tolerable.  The shanty looked like a ice cave inside.  My fishing partner froze up solid on me and was tearing up on me when we got back to the car........Wuss.  LOL.  Keep all your skin covered if you go out tomorrow.  As for me.....I think I am going to chase momma around the house for a while :o

I didn't make it out today, but a few of my buddies made it out and caught six pike, the largest at 36" or so.  Makes me wish that I went out, but I should definitely be out next weekend.  Tight lines.

I had every intention on going out this morning but took one step outside and realized I would need my shanty and it is still up north. Going to pick it up tomorrow after work and head out on Tuesday night.

Hey, I was out there to. But I didn't go out that far, stayed in front of the boat launch and caught a few small gills and 3 perch.

Fished Baw Beese Lake in Hillsdale for couple of hours. No bites except for almost frost bite! Worst conditions I've ever fished in. Our heater quit working. So we bailed out and went out for a alte breakfast. I'll try again next weekend if it's not below zero.

Yes it was but I was still able to catch a few fish on baw beese lake, not to many but I didn't stay out to long even with a shanty. Caught about 10-15 haven't cleaned them yet, but they will be done and fried for the game.
