Finally got one on a cotton candy coloured tube. Cold or hot’ slow or crazy I always love a day on the lake. Sure beats going to work. If any one comes across a red rod holder in the marina area. My kid forgot it on the ice. Tight lines all
Ya I went out in -31 it was interesting but we drill...drop the electronics...have a looksy....then move....if needed...once we get a place we put up the tent....drill the holes and put the buddy heater in....seal her up and fish...the tent helps a lot -15 and warmer the holes don't freeze up inside but man open her up,to step out and the cold sucks the wind out of ya'

Oh yeah I still work the ol 8" hand auger so warm up pretty quick....I still enjoy that...yup a little crazy but I consider it good for ya

Warmer days ahead though...good luck.
