Well.for those who are not ice fisherman we are getting close.Hoping this year is as good as last.If you all remember we had a late ice out last year and fishing was great.Mmaybe it had to do with the water staying cooler longer.I don't know.but I was still using hair jigs memorial day weekend and killing them while others were casting..all I know is I'm ready .... Congrats to all the ice fisherman that have been tearing them up through the ice, but let's get rid of the ice, get the boats in, and start jigging.good luck to all and be safe out there.
