    It'll be a high of -2 and a low of -25 here on Saturday... I thought about going out but i may decide to stay inside at home.

    I was thinking the same thing, also don't know if there is enough ice back home for my truck.

    Got a nice score on the derby last night, someone traded me all my fish on day 1 for a under water camera so I took the deal and then I got an upgraded auger so I got into small walleyes on the first day, one had a tag and then I was off to the races
    Picture won't load but it was 17000, previous high was 10:)

    Come on up to Red this weekend! Fishing in sweats is where it's at - Reports are that best bite is at night... The best news a guy can hear fishing out of a sleeper house.

    Heading out for walleye around home again tonight. Went out Tuesday and did decent, 3 eater walleyes. Looking for the big ones.

    That sounds tempting on red lake, I've done that exact same thing before and we hammered the crappies.

    0 fish last night. Marked some and had a few lookers but they were locked up.

    Really hoping this snowstorm doesn't affect our trip to Red tonight.

    Yep. Heading out after work around 5 or 6... Might be slow going the first little bit.

    You guys are about the cutoff for any big snow aren't you? We're looking at about 10-12".

    We are in for about 6-8" last time I checked, but on the edge of the storm.

    This workday is just killing me... I want to be on the road, and catching some eyes/bottle bass!

    Can honestly say I was nervous yesterday lol. Anyone else in Midwestern IL on ice yesterday? We caught a few bass and bluegill. Nothing to write home about...

    Your 2" of ice and our 2" of ice looks a lot different! If it was that clear, I don't think I could mentally trust it!

    Anyone on here use Lindy Perch Talkers before? Think I'm going to get a couple and try them out since we always seem to be in perch.
