    No service most of the weekend but we absolutely hammered them. I didn't take any pictures except of this sunfish. One of the biggest I've caught (I never fish sunnies). About 10 inches. Went back down the hole.

    I’ll be going out tomorrow to check out ice on local lakes and maybe fish a little bit. I know one lake has 3 inches out to a point but geese were keeping a hole open out in the middle. Hoping some of the smaller spots are good to go. I’m ready to fish.

    Finally got to fish today. Nothing crazy just a small pond but I caught some fish. So I’m happy. Bunch of little gills and bass. Hoping the bigger lakes make some good ice this coming week. They were still between 2 and 3 inches.

    I will be heading to northern WI for a couple days next week to fish with some buddies. Im excited to get up there and get on some good fish. IMG_0334.JPG

    I’m wanting to make a mobile hunting trailer with living quarters like this. Take it up and chase the migration down from Canada all the way to Louisiana. Could double as a bow hunting camper too. Prolly never happen but it’s a daydream

    That’s a nice walleye! I’m still super impressed with your shack. You have any pics of the build or did you buy like that?

    I’ve been out a decent amount but nothing really notable to talk about lol did catch this nice bass on a tip up a couple days ago though.

    This month I’ll be super busy fishing every weekend. Got a trip planned for the 19th on a big lake in central WI. Then the following weekend I’ll be at a local fisheree and I’ll be helping out on a kids learn to fish. We had about 25 kids last year, we will probably have about double that this year. And frabill has been nice enough to donate a bunch of rod and reels to give away. The final trip planned (so far lol ) will be to the Mississippi looking for big perch and pike. I’ll be busy but I cant wait.

    Nothing real big.
    Most of them was 9”-10”. Had a couple that was around 12.

    My nephew pull a 16”er through the ice one evening last week.
