If the weather that's here today makes it over there, a lot of that will get busted up! 30mph South winds and thunderstorms is what they're calling for this evening.

Looks like all the ice is on the North shore. Still calling for a couple more days of stiff West wind here. Not too aweful cold either. Better get the boat ready, sure won't be needing the sled this year!

I was jigging Raps and Pimples using my vex around Christmas time. Yes it works, you just have to anchor if you want to use your flasher and jig. You will also bob around a lot in comparison to when on hard water. I will be doing it again soon.

I know most of the experienced people who fish this time of year are good to go! This is directed at those new people who may be venturing out this time of year for the first time in those frigid waters. Please make sure that your equipment is in tip top shape, all batteries fully charge and in good condition, fuel tanks if not topped off at least have more than an adequate supply of fuel, all safety equipment in top notch condition and stay constantly vigilant for floating debris. It can be pretty lonely out there this time of year so being prepared for the worse will or can save you some major pucker later.

That is excellent and wise advice. I do not much care for the pucker factor when on cold water especially. Bouyweather show that Monday should be pretty smooth water. Not sure on precipitation.
