We did Mille Lacs last year and had fun. was dead during the day but the night bite on rattle reels was good.

If your on Facebook check out the custom ice rod builders page. Tons of guys making a quality product on there. Bought a couple of walleye blanks from jsoutfitters and have been really happy with the action and feel. Haven’t put a fish on one yet though. https://jsoutfitter.com/

Looking at 1875 Lund impact

were planning on heading to the eau claire area this weeked and rochester on friday to look at a few different boats. i will add that to our list. thanks

So im planning on spending around the 45000 mark….but who knows. Whats up with the tracker boats, see on here and some other sites a lot of mixed reviews. Is this just the ford/chevy/dodge thing or something im missing?

I plan on fishing it a lot, but will also be crusing,sandbar hopping, and tubing with the family.

you will be happy with the avian x, i picked up 3 of them and they are awesome.

we stay in chetek every year…lost of fish, size has gone down hill last few years. Always a good time. Typically make a run to http://www.fawndoerosa.com/
with the kids , they love it.

email response from railroad

I am contacting you in regards to the BNSF website inquiry below. I apologize for any inconvenience. For the public’s own safety, BNSF does police against walking on the tracks or along our right of way. This is considered trespassing, as all Rail lines and ROW are private property, but more importantly it can be extremely dangerous. The only save place to crossing the racks are at designated pedestrian or roadway crossings. Hundreds of people are killed each year by trespassing onto railroad properties. You can find more information regarding this issue on the website Operation Lifesaver, linked below. Unfortunately due to the sheer size of the rail system, it is logistically impossible to monitor and police the entire system all the time. As reports in areas become more frequent we may start policing the area more to help deter the unsafe practice. If you are wanting to install a public pedestrian crossing, I suggest you contact your local government/community leaders. It would ultimately be up to the city/county. I hope this information helps.

this is the number the local warden gave to to contact the railroad. 1-800-832-5452 i wonder how this will impact the fishing float buisness this summer since you need to cross the track to have them pick you up.

Pool 5

its in the Transmission

what part of the chain were you fishing…..heading up there on a few days…….any size?

I cut some of the plastic off, seems like it covers to much of the hook. I like the bigger orange ones for perch

i bought the scheels brand arctic armor…..really like them

when we started taking my young cousins fishing with us we invested in camera. Keeps his attention when he can watch and see what is going on down there. In shallow water i use my camera more than my flasher. I see that the fleet farms in my area are selling the Fish TV camera for around 150 bucks, this is the camera we bought for him to use. No gismos on it but it works pretty good. He has been using it for 4 seasons now i think

been fishing spring pretty hard lots of 4″ gills bigest one i have got was 8 looking for a double digit size

nope Scott Wilhelm was working that day.

that is the adress i use. have to put in all of your info and then go to the permits part and it should say on there…….kind of a pain in the but to get to

i got mine at Scheels in Eau Claire

pretty easy to launch by yourself then? not one of those 20ft ramps that drop 30ft in elevation full of potholes and rocks…..from what i hear the ramp is always in good shape just wondering about docks to tie off to, parking and stuff like that

How bout the guys jigging for them under the ice

Guess I had the camera upside down

maybe we drink them raw like Rocky

so………how do you cook them then?

thanks gonna give it a try tomorrow afternoon i think

it looked like there was a permanent shack out there so there must be good ice…..

owatonna, can usually get them to deal a bit n the price as well. Been to the one in rogers a couple of times since its on our way to the cabin and they are not very helpfull there in my opinion.
