Hope everybody had a great Thanks Giving. Soon we can get into some ice fishing. We have 4 1/2 and 6 inches of ice now. Froze on a wind so it is rough. You have time to get all your gear ready . Auger blades sharp, pack your ice cleats, ice picks and rope. If you do not have one of the many floats coats available have a life preserver with for a couple of weeks. Soon the ice will be good for travel. Early ice look to the shore drops for perch . Fish from 8 to 12 feet of wate
