We didnt stay long, as much as I wanted to, my 6 year old got cold on me.  So we fished for 30 minutes or so and caught a few gills.  When we got there, i set up the shanty and while doing so, i noticed one of my clips in a pole busted AGAIN!!!  Im about done with clam shanties.  Then today before i went to call clam and order a new one, i could of sworn the last time it busted, i had ordered 2, checked my lure boxes and walla!!  There a new clip sat.  im kickin myself in the butt now!!

Is the time and date off on this site or is it just me?

Its you, that what happens when you because a night walker...lol.

went to michigan 2 years ago. leagally you're allowed 2 lines, 2 tip ups, 2 rods or 1 of each. they had record high temps that week, the same week the guys got stranded on erie. my buddy hooked up with a guy who fished  tournaments and he was catching walleyes. he said fish where there was still snow on the ice. the snow kept it darker.80 feet of water, the lake was 9 miles long and 4 miles wide. i don't think he was legal, he'd jig a while, then jump in his truck, and check his tipups across the lake. being mobile is easy when you can drive your truck to where you wanna fish. shallower water, fish in the snow drifts.

Very good trick of the trade to share.  What lake are you speaking of?  I recently moved to Ohio from MI 3 months ago.  Last year the law changed to 3 lines instead of two.  In MI, yes its illegal to leave any fishing device unattended.  Ive seen numerous people do that same thing and get busted.  The CO's would sit on shore of bigger lakes and watch for that stuff.  Great post!!! 

I was on the south end today, ended up with 20 7-9" gills along with around 40 dinks.  Ill be back out there tomorrow, im not sure if im hittin the north or south end though.
