  • Bassman66 I got out on the ice for the first time this year out on Flying Pond in Maine. In the morning it was 9 below but it ended up being about 20 and no wind. it was a great day and i ended up with 7 perch and a pickeral. On top of that i saw 2 bald eagles and an osprey. what a great day.

  • Bassman66 Do any of you guys know any good pike rigs? Steal leader or heavy floro? Should i use live or dead bait?
    a year ago
    • pikebassholeSteel leader 9/10 times flourocarbon will cost u a lunker sooner or later if u don't check em after every fish and swap em out also they do get a little brittle in the cold
      12:36 AM January 16
    • pikebassholeOh yeah and as for bait buy em live live,you can always make dead bait but u can't make live bait as for rigs I personally use circle hooks since I practice catch and release they work great the fish basically hook themselves and ways in the sweet spot

  • rlwilson64 Was wondering what the best ice cleats would be. Had an ambulance ride first day and first flag up. Lost my feet and only know what my buddy told me happened. Sure would like to avoid this again. I presently am wearing a cheap pair of overshoe with small spikes. Wont be wearing them again.

  • rrathbun1 went out to the lake yesterday to check thickness a rock wouldn't go thru but it's not safe for my 270lbs LOL It's suppose to really cool off this weekend ( southern michigan ) but were suppose to get snow first 3-5" and that will most likely insulate the lakes from the cold.
