    That photo of the open ramp is tempting but I know if I put my boat in the water and went chasing the walleye, Mother Nature would swoop down with a blast of southern air and slam the door with a big flow of ice and where does that leave me??? Later.....

    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!

    Quick question. Curious if jigging with typical ice lures is still effective on open water? How do you go about doing it? do you anchor or drift?

    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.
