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.

There are several people around me that make syrup. Have a client that give's me a few quarts every spring. All that I know heat with wood. On our facebook market place you can find evaporators for sale daily. Local stores sell that blue tubing by the spools, along with bottles and various supplies for sap collecting.

A lot of restrictions on the Ohio Lake Erie Smallmouth during cool weather times. Smallmouth bass spawn in late spring, and to reduce fishing pressure on bass there is a daily harvest limit on Lake Erie of one bass from May 1 to June 23, 2023, with an 18-inch minimum size. Outside of this timeframe, the daily limit for smallmouth bass is five, with a 14-inch minimum size. What is the limit in Canadian (Ontario) waters? Depends where you plan to fish, some waters are open year around except June is catch and release only. Limit is 4 in most waters.

What were you using for bait? Brother was using a ripping rap, I was using silver Swedish pimple tipped with minnow head on my jigging pole, shiner on dead stick.

Had a cold snap come in last night. We only caught a dz or so between us. Fish were only out of the water 15-20 seconds and you can see their fins were freezing already. Hope they all lived, only in 16ft of water.
