All,
This is an FYI:
Water level is the lowest i have ever seen.
Many of the structures are exposed thru the ice.

Anyone have advice for new tires for quad that's primary function is
Ice fishing? Mine is a 2wd unit, with chains on the rear. So far so good
Until this past Saturdays trip at crane, I apparently hit something just right and put a 1/4" hole right I'm the center on one of my front tires. Good thing I put slime
In all of my atv tires as an insurance policy, because it paid off.
We fished al day until dark, didn't notice it was a little low until it was on
The trailer.
Anyhow looking to replace the fronts, any suggestions?

All,
I need to know from those who actually fished
Crane today what the crack was like?
We have a few who want to head out there tomorrow
And have asked me about the crack.
I fished Catawba today so I don't know.
Catawba report - didn't get on fish until 26ft of water,1.8m north/northeast towards islands.
Raps where choice, slow fished. No aggressive bites today.

Team 45 representing Ohio reporting, arrived up here today. Did some pre-fishing today with more fun in the wind tomorrow!
Had a good chat with a Clam sponsored naifc team from wisconsin. Good fellas to talk too.
14" of ice was the average I was finding today, fish were biting but not aggressive.
More to follow.

Hey guys

i didn't write the following, but i thought is was worth sharing to the group.
Well said everyone! For those who have never tried ice fishing, or maybe only casually tried it, they do not understand the appeal or addiction that the we feel. Technology has helped tremendously, some have equated using a flasher to catch fish with a video game, and yes I guess there are some similarities. However it is so much more than that. How do you describe the feel and anticipation as you drop your lure down the first hole of the day? How do you explain the rush of adrenaline as you set the hook, and the rod doubles over as line screams from your reel? How do you explain the strategy involved to find the fish when fishing a new lake, or finding the right lure / technique when faced with a tough bite. How do you describe the sun peeking over the horizon to the east, or sinking below the tree tops to the west? The peacefull solitude when fishing alone or the boisterous camaraderie when fishing with friends. How something as ordinary as brats on a grill becomes extraordinary cuisine when grilled on the ice? The almost painful anticipation waiting for the first solid ice of the season, and the touch of sadness felt at the last trip of the season.
For those who are not afflicted with our addiction, words can not adequately describe who we are, or why we love to ice fish. All we can do is to try to share our passion with others who are willing to experience it, and for those that wont, we will have to be content to be the nuts who walk on water, sit on a bucket, and stare down a hole.
