First hello all. I was wondering if anyone had any favorite fishing apps to share with a smartphone nube. Thanks!

 Is there any way to search past topics before staring a new thread.

I headed out friday afternoon around 1:00 from the boat ramp on s.main.  I ventured south toward the sun thinking maybe it would be slighty warmer. That was my first mistake of the day. It was blowing snow sideways and up...but mostly up. I would almost say that it was blowing snow sideways and up 'to beat the band'. But I'm not the type to say anything was doing something 'to beat the band'.

I had a borrowed shanty(that I never used or seen before),  saftey gear, auger, electronics, three ice rods each with a different offering that I personally tied on the line with equal amounts love and high hopes. I had hand warmers, toe warmers, snacks, drinks, buckets, sled etc.  One thing I did not have was a way to anchor the shanty. While I was jumping on the shanty to fold it up I was trying to figure out if this was a polar vortex or just a good old fashioned cold front.

I did get a single perch to open his mouth before me and the shanty got blow away from the south. Lesson learned.

I'm glad I found the sight. There is alot of great information here. Thanks!
