yes, i did this a long time ago with my old chipper drill unit

we need to do this, our mortgage company sent a letter a couple weeks ago about a breach and our info was stolen.

the only thing I don’t like about making 3 more acounts for the freeze is its another access point for theft, it seems like a matter of time when the 3 credit bureaus get hacked with (similar to lifelock)

I made a similar one, the caster was rated for 900lbs got bent up after one use. Thinking about replacing with one of these, just need to find the correct sized U bolts

my son and I met my friend and his kid last weekend and stayed on sand lake. We caught a handful of dinky pike which we kept. Tried to find panfish during the day which was tough. We then tried the evening bite and the crappies came through the last hour of light to dark. 25-27′, finicky biters but good fish. 8-9″ of ice.

Tried bowstring sunday morning for just a little bit, went out of the NW public access with the wheeler, marked a bunch of fish but must have been dinky perch as they would only peck at our spoons. only caught 1 20″ pike for the short time we were out there before the kids got cold. about the same amount of ice out there, we went out about 1.5 miles

switched to copper 5 or so years ago and love the results. Have used federal and vortx cooper loads for my 270 and both have been excellent

I tried fluid film on our ice house around the axles and winches; all it did was attract dust and it still rusted;

my 2013 f150 rear fenders started to rust and bubble, i sanded down all the loose rust/bubbles, cleaned it, and used POR15 to seal down the rust and inside the fenders and hid them with oem flares

verizon has been pretty good overall for us, but spendy. Thinking of going to “visible” by verizon

like rj said, we are in baxter and get 1-2 bars for verizon but all in all coverage in most areas.

Jackpine brewery has 5G and that works great

best thing to do is fire up your humminbird in simulator mode; go to the map view, zoom in/out to isle royale and see what coverage is available; i know MN has Superior coverage as far east as the apostle islands i believe, so it may have the isle royale coverage

Any recent reports on Kab? Water temps/water levels? I am heading up there Friday for a bachelor’s party and hoping to get into some fish!

Following as well…

From some of the FB posts from resorts, sounds like Smb are shallow and eyes are being caught pretty shallow yet.

I hope the mayflies hold off for a bit yet…

we avoid running our generator if we can. run the heat off one group 27 battery and tv off a group 24. we opted for the 32″ LED 120volt tv and blueray player and a 300watt inverter running off a group 24 battery. Can easily get a weekend out of it.
I briefly looked at 12 volt tvs and if I remember right, they cost more, you can get a use 32″ tv cheap, hell even new ones now days are around $100

We love this recipe on the grill, I’m sure the oven would give the same results. We’ve done this with walleye, perch, gills and crappies. Lately, the kids prefer this way vs fried

Pellet Grilled Catfish Fillets

INGREDIENTS:
Fish Fillets
Fish Rub
Lemon Juice
Milk
Water

1.) Brine them in the refrigerator in a even mixture of milk, water, and lemon juice for at least 30 minutes before you grill them.
2.) Then pat them dry and sprinkle both sides with Fish Rub.
3.) Grill the filets on a frogmat or a piece of aluminum foil at about 400°F for 4-5 minutes per side or until the fish flakes with a fork.
4.) Remove from the grill and drizzle with lemon juice. Serve immediately.

buying a flasher over a sonar unit now days is like buying a flip phone over a smartphone at nearly the same price.

Today’s sonar units offer year round use plus you get the benefits of mapping. Not sure why others experience a “lag’ when jigging, the old sonar screen units 10+ years ago had this but now technology has caught up and its not noticeable (not sure on garmin or lowarnce units).

On another note, the Autochart bottom composition feature is slick when ice fishing, you can hole hop, mark a autochart point and look for bottom transitions

I was in this situation last year. Samething here, my feet get cold easily. My Mickey boots finally fell apart after years of abuse. So I wanted to upgrade. I tried the korkers knee high boots first as they are advertised as ice fishing boots and I returned them due to getting cold feet at below zero temps. I switched to the boot style Korkers and they’re slightly warmer.
I love the laceless system, smaller profile boot, comfortable and the removable soles. They’re not 100% waterproof. After standing in water, they get damp. And not as warm as my Mickey boots before they started to wear through despite their -60 rating

I used to agree with that but Nick has slowly became more and more douchy. He’s such an @ss to everyone and he’s never wrong…Sure, he sometimes plays it off like a joke, but is it?…

I could never work with that clown and can hardly stand listening to him anymore.

I could see what you mean, but he seems like a guy you could drink a beer with, out of all of them along with drinking a Mtn Dew with Josh, and smoking pot with wapple but I dont partake in pop or pot so beer it is! I’m not much of a fan of Dana or Ashley…
but, all in all, its an unpopular opinion

pie is better than cake

Do I really need one? I have a tonneau cover will that be OK or should I build a box for it not much success finding a plastic tote that may work. Is it to keep it warm or just noise the noise does not bother me Honda 2200 if that matters.

No need, I’ve run mine in the pickup bed with the tonneau 3/4 closed when I know there is some weather coming. Have run it without the tonneau cover on and blowing snow with no issues, the bed protects it and closing the tonneau up enough for fresh air to come in is plenty. And it helps muffle the noise and keep the noise off the ice

resurrecting this post as I’m starting to eye one up myself. Recent reviews show it as a dang good gun. Most criticisms on the cycling issues come from not having enough oil in the guides and the trigger pull is heavy for how light the gun is.

Anyone have some experience with this gun after a few years?

I am not impressed with my Green Mountain. I’ve had it for going on 4 years now and when the time comes I will not be getting another. Super inconsistent temperatures with it…like 30-40 degree swings. It makes no difference where I put the heat shield…same result. Also, the built in temp probes are wayyyyy off. I need to use an external aftermaket to even get close. Next up for me will most likely be a RecTech.

I had this issue with my GM and after talking to support, I was able to get it really close after changing the settings in the app (if you have a wifi model). Their customer service is pretty good I would say. The food temp probe stopped working after a year and they sent me a new probe and a new internal control box.

I was disappointed with the amount of ash in the cooking area, but this was remedied by buying better pellets

How old do you need to be before you don’t need a parent’s letter? My nephew wants to ride to Canada with my parents (his grandparents). He is 16. Does he still need a letter from both parents (divorced parents)? He has driver’s license, birth certificate, passport, vax card, etc.

Thanks.

We went through this a month ago; my friend and I met my dad and my 15year old nephew/grandson.
They did have the consent letter ready but the border agent never asked for it. Just the passport and arrivecan/vax info. I believe my sister is the only one that filled it out and they are divorced.
It wont hurt to bring the letter otherwise it could be a PITA.

I saw a FB post that they’re getting close, waiting for the septic system to be inspected.

I would download the most recent software first, that’ll be what Hbird will tell you. If that doesnt do it, return it and get a garmin

try to every couple of weeks but usually too cold, frozen doors suck= door seals coming apart

if you plan on bringing a ice house to stay on the ice, get there early as there are limited roads this year with all of the slush issues.

just got these in the mail; I’m having my doubts already for how thin the top of the boots are and how easily my feet get cold, but I’ll stick it out and report back after some uses

I know this is an old post, but what are everyone’s experiences with these? I need to replace my worn bunny boots and wanted to find something more modern and just as warm. I also like the size of these as they look like you can still drive with them on

I do like the replaceable soles but for $200+ I would expect these to last 10+ years and stay warm/waterproof

For the people that fly both the American and confederate flags on their trucks, does that cancel out their patriotism?

this always got me as well

I have a roadie 20 that we received for a gift and after using it, I would never buy one. For the amount of times you open it and use it, ice retention is just as good as a $20 cooler.

Now we do have a 65 qt orca that we always use that I really like, during the summer I keep in the back of the pickup with water, juice boxes, and brews, comes in handy

despite what what social media and media shows, most people in the cities are good people, most cops are good people. being all doom and gloom does no good. what big werm mentioned, need more leaders like that Don fella (no idea who he is, just judging off Big werms post), get conversations from both sides going, us vs them wont do any good, but maybe thats the anti-2 party system in me..

we got our problems outstate as well, notice those human trafficking billboards lately?

usually a brand thats a couple years behind a technology of their competitors and then finally releases a comparable product, has better features than their competitors, by judging off of Humminbirds Promo, Garmin doesn’t have to worry quite yet…

we are heading up in a few days, mayflies in full force? any other bite updates of smallies and or walleyes?
thanks!
