Ice Fishing

Winter is once again bearing down on us for the next 4 months. If you don't enjoy ice fishing it can make it a little on the long side.  Well, don't worry, that's where I come in.  I will be leaving next Monday (Dec. 05th) for Lake of the Woods for eight days.  The ice has begun forming and will be good to go when I get there.  Needless to say, I am excited.  If you or someone you know is  looking to try something different or wants to go ice fishing, consider buying them a guided ice fishing trip gift certificate for Christmas.

I still have some openings for both Red Lake weekends and Lake of the Woods.  We are expecting to be on all the metro lakes in the next week or two.  I will report back with both the ice report and a fishing report as soon as I can get to a computer.

Lastly, if you are in the market for an ice house we still have a few in inventory at Pro Fish Enterprises over in Watertown.  We will be at the River Centre in St. Paul this weekend for the annual ice fishing show.  I look forward to seeing lots of you there.

What a fall

The unbelievable weather that we have been having has allowed many extra fishing outings this fall.  After going to Rushford, Minnesota this weekend to shoot deer and having great weather but only fair hunting, I had to get out fishing.  Yesterday afternoon I headed out on Waconia with Peter Bilecki and Bill Miller to chase a few largemouth bass and walleyes at dark.  The walleye bite was non-existent but the largemouth bass had other ideas, and we were fortunate enough to land a few.     

With ice fishing right around the corner and a lot to do at the shop, I will probably not have too many more outings on the open water.  I look forward to this winter and hope I have a chance to get many of you out on the ice.
