Everybody in the Ranger get out safely? Yeah, everyone good. I was working in the yard and left my phone in the house on the charger. I had 17 missed call’s, everyone thought it was me that went through.

I hiked in but didnt wear my hip boots to wade out to good ice. Polaris Ranger 4 seater went through on my lake today. Guess it's a wrap.

Last evening may be the last ice fishing trip of the season. There was 4 ft of open water I had to walk thru to get onto the ice. We lost 2 inches of ice from the time I went in the morning. Im going to hike in and check a lake this afternoon and see if I can squeeze one more trip in.

Ive only experience with small Lithium batteries that I use with my hummingbird helix 7 for ice fishing. I did have to buy the correct charger. Make's the unit so much lighter for carrying around the lake. My son ruined his first lithium battery my charging it with the wrong charger. By the time he told me it was not taking a full charge and he was using his old charger, it was to late and the battery would never take a full charge even after getting the correct charger for it.

Slow morning on the ice, only caught a few gills that seemed scattered in a 14ft flat. Caught and released a dandy 10 inch fish. Going out the evening to see if I can find some crappie. Only 6 inches of ice on the lake this morning. Drove my sxs out yesterday afternoon looking for perch, solid 8 inches of ice.

Use it a lot. Funnels for deer hunting, ponds, finding where otter trails should be, old logging roads, old clearcuts, bear spots that are hard for others to backside your bait stations.

Another good morning on the ice. Brother went with, didn’t take long to get a mess of gills. As much as I love to fish I have to admit that looks awfully lonely, and cold. Not cold at all. Got out this morning at 6:30. Could have had my limit in the first half hour but was letting them all go. Around 8:00 the flood gate opened and next thing I new I had 20 people surrounding me, I told one fella that setup 10ft from me that he could just have my hole, packed up and I’ll wait until everyone goes back south Sunday.

Apparently, it was caught yesterday 3/3/24 out of Monroe. I never seen a smallmouth but heard rumors Wonder if he was using a live fish scope system 😊 They are a hot item! I have plans to purchase one in the near future. I fished with a buddy that has one this winter, great for finding fish but does not guarantee they will bite.

Wish my phone had a better zoom today. While out fishing today there was a open section of water, I counted 17 bald eagles sitting on the ice at one time. Pretty cool!

Could be a golden, pretty common around here. I had one picture of 3 baldies at one time. Im hoping I just have to clean the lens on this camera, the pictures are really crappie. This camera has been out since May and I have not cleaned the lens. Im going to pull this camera today and put it on a beaver dam crossing to see what kind of pictures we can get this year.
