depends what you like. mostly basss fishing or catfish. beautiful canyon lakes in the desert. might be quite hot in june!

I just bought a striker predator suit this year at the ice show and love it!! its lightweight, fits perfect and has more pockets then I know what to use them for. also like how it has vents i can open so i dont get too hot! I have also tested it in the coldest weather this winter and have yet to get cold.

you have to specifically download the maps first to be able to see the contours.

I just bought the striker predator and LOVE it!!fits great and is very warm even in below zero conditions! I had the vexilar ice suit before and that suit doesnt compare to the striker!

thanks for sharing!! I am a crappie/panfish guy, and my goal this year is to try something new. which is walleye fishing this winter!I will have to get a few and try!! merry christmas!

I own both a sled style and hub style shelter. the hub style is great for weight, I can carry it on my back like a back pack and easily fits in my suv. the main draw back is wind. if its windy it is a pain to put up especially if alone. but with an extra hand or 2 it is easier. having to anchor it down and also the windward hub side can take some time. portability is also a draw back. With the sled style just grab the rope and go. it take a little more to move especially if its windy. I have the eskimo fatfish 949 so love how roomy it is! I can walk around and stretch. especially when i take the kids along. if I had a truck i would get a bigger sled style, but it is nice to pack light and be comfortable as well. price is also a plus!

if you fish mostly shallow water fl8 is all u need. fl18 has the zoom feature but really unneccessary in shallow water!!

yes its there!! good price too!

I will be there first thing saturday morning! hoping to buy my new 1 man house!

I am also looking at upgrading this season. so trying to decide otter vs the new clam legend!! I love my strikemaster lazer mag. easy to start and drills holes with ease. check into the new clam augers as well , they look just like the strikemaster!! even has the same gear ratio 40:!

yes!!! looks great!!

at least you are out. my boat is winterized and in stoarage! praying for ice!!

steve at spring bay resort is the place to go!! He will get you on the fish!!

I will have to check out the ballads bus trip that sounds like fun!

I bought a vexilar fl22 last year and never looked back! love it!

which part of the lake are you heading to?? I have only fishng the west end.

thats awesome! thanks for posting!

thats great! thanks for the history of joes as well!

are your transducer pucks at the bottom of the ice?? I thought I had a vexilar issue once but it was cause from the trancducer still being surrounded by ice !!

hows the ice out there?? I am venturing out this week! finally!

be even sweeter to win with a backup qb!!

now one question on the marcum. can you use one next to a vexilar?? I have heard it gives the vexilar tons of interference?? I like the marcum and hesitant on buying one because of that.

I beleive ubers has closed and no longer in business

I buy them in bulk too. I have the large bait puck from strike master that I keep them in. and keep them in the refrigerator. They die if they get warm so keep them refrigerated! I use them up before they die!

mine did the same last fall. the motor was froze solid!!! but it still released with the screw to raise and lower manually! I just put a new motor and works great!

I was going to go friday, but with all the water and debris not worth it!

thanks for the post!! I have the same issue.. I should give them a call. I took mine back in 1984!!

I have had good luck in the channel on the north end of the lake for pannies! the wind is not a factor there as it is on the main lake, and I beleive there is a boat ramp on the channel as well. good luck!!
