I've been trying to get the Bass Pro in Toledo, Cabelas in Dundee and the Fur, Fish and Game in Toledo to stock these rods along with the tips. They all have said they like the idea and concept but none have added them to their inventory. If you want to finesse fish for panfish... this is the optimum way to go... and they only cost around 10$. There is a larger one and they run around 20$

I’ve read that our new license will be good for 365 days from the date you purchase your license, plus there are some changes to the crappie rules And saugeye but you have to read very carefully because if you don’t look at the Lake Specific rules. You might end up in violation, not sure why the state is making it difficult but they did

went to luthmans bridge, didn’t fish, just checked water clarity and see if I could mark fish, water was stained and no marks, so I went to Earls Island, quite a few guys spread all around, I fished on the east side in the 5-6’ of water, marked all kinds of fish but only managed to catch a few crappies and gills, the bite was super light, I tried all colors , waviest and spikes , chartreuse seemed to be the better color, I moved in closer to the island in 3-4’ of water, the fish seemed to more willing to bite but were hanging about a foot off the bottom. Guy next to me was doing good on both crappies and gills, I left fish to find fish.... always a mistake, went back to luthmans and did manage to catch 2 eyes.... but the 2 combined length might have been 15”

To say it was a tough shitty day is putting it nicely. My plans were to hit north fork this morning but with all the snow I decided to hit moundwood, I got there at 5 am ish, drilled 5-10 holes as close to the pressure crack as I could, never marked a fish, left there around 8 ish and went to Blackhawk, 2 guys were cutting through the pads to head to Lucy’s and they were the first to cut a path, I wasn’t going to attempt to pull my sled in the fresh snow that far, so I pussed out and stayed near the boat ramp, drilled a gazillion holes and never marked a fish, btw , there were several guys who got worn out trying to get to Lucy’s , packed up around lunch time and went to LI/ NF , I glassed a few guys who were sitting outside and it didn’t look like they were in tune with a bite , so I called it a day, tomorrow or today I should say, I got my old hand auger out, put some new blades on it , got my old bucket organizer out and will hit the lake tomorrow, the old fashioned way with very little gear..... tight lines all

I got out, the roads were not the best, first spot at 5:30 am - 8 am, drilled 5 or 10 holes at various depths, never marked a fish, packed it up and mulled my way through more snow, drilled over 20 holes ..... never marked a fish. I knew I should’ve grab the hand auger, lighten my load and walked the old way with just a bucket, rod and a few jigs. Tomorrow is another day

I took my wife out for dinner last night , We started out with the normal conversation about how our days went, I told her I took Friday off to ice fish and let her know what lake I was going to, from there on, my mind was on fishing and fish was on my mind.... she started talking about, actually I don’t know what she was talking about, I was just nodding my head and saying, yea, okay , and giving a smirk smile as I bobbed my head thinking about what color I should start out on, “ yea sounds good” ... should I target eyes first before sunrise or panfish, “ ha, yea that sounds good babe” do I wanna take a chance on parking or just tough it out and walk a mile , ha, with a smirk smile, “ okay babe”.... all of a sudden my wife got up and started walking out the door before we even ate, I jumped up and said, “ where you going?” , she looked at me, along with 15 other people in the restaurant and said,” I just asked you if you wanted me to get up and go home and you said , “ okay babe” .... I could hear forks drop and people laughing as I tried to plead my case and get her to sit back down without too much static..... she did, but I had to listen very attentively the rest of the evening as she ripped my ass and told me how many times I’ve done this before..... oops, I can’t help it, I’ve got IFADD .... Ice fishing attention deficit disorder... tight lines fellas... lol

Sadly I’ve said this a million times, we are our worst enemy when it comes to parking and lack of respect for the land owners. I’ve seen and picked up so much trash along the road that we have left, from propane tanks, McDonald’s trash, beer cans to pop cans, broken buckets and broke down chairs, we’ve blocked people’s drives and have prohibited mail from being delivered because we’ve parked in from of their mailbox, we’ve left shit , yes human shit in a bucket on a guys property because he called the sheriff for blocking his drive, we don’t give the state a chance to plow the roads because we gotta be there before sunrise. It’s only going to get worse as the sport becomes even more popular, and we have to honest with ourselves, what would do if you were woke up at 5 am by a group of people making all kinds of racket, getting your dog to bark, waking up your kids , blocking your drive or just making it hard to drive down the road, then they cross over your yard to fish out your back door.... I’m just about giving up on Indian Lake and starting to fish in other areas. Within 5 years all we’ll have is Blackhawk and moundwood, unless you know someone or start riding a four wheeler.......

Went out after work, the lake didn’t look very promising to get out on, the edges looked almost impossible to walk out on. I found 1 guy fishing off of Oak Cove so I followed his trail to the ice, once you find a good place to walk out , the ice was 5-7”. I don’t fish the lake very often so when you’re only in 3-3 1/2 foot of water you know you gotta be super quiet so you don’t spook the fish. From 3:30 - 5:30 I caught 16 real nice gills and 1 keeper crappie, I was using a 2 mm firetiger tungsten jig tipped with a waxie, just a reminder to those who aren’t from the area, the bait shop by the spillway is closed on Mondays. Water clarity is stained

I’ll be over this week, too many people on Indian Lake and no parking. I really don’t care if I catch a thing, it almost makes me want to quit ice fishing.
