Was out late this afternoon and had the best action so far this ice season. I do need more practice as I missed 7 fish. Good, solid bites too. Ended up only catching one 14 incher, and had a big pig break me off right at the hole. It was a minimum of 4 lbs. Best action came off a tip up/plain hook/pike sucker.

I have been fishing in around 33' of water the past couple of days, but the 16 ft. and 23 ft. depths out of McKinley have also been giving up a few walleyes.

Frank,
I hope to get my 8 X 10 out sometime before Dec., 9.
The wheeled house will not go out until I have at least 10 in. of ice.

Cliff,

If these temps in the LR pan-out like we think, 10"+ ice will not be very far away.

Went out today from McKinley Park, just a few light bites and nothing to show for it. Will be heading back on Saturday though.

Cliff, what kind of deals do you have for a weekend rate in one of those houses.
We have 4 guys and are looking for a trip the weekend before valentines day. We had good luck out on the big V for opener last year and we are all itching to get back.

Twins 57 Fan,
If you rent for both days I will give FM members 15% off.
That weekend is still open!

Do your houses have bunks for four guys? Your website didn't look like it.
Also, is the bait included on the houses or just the guided trips?

Thanks for your help!

There is only one bed in the house and room enough for 2 other cots.
Bait is included.
