Took the boy out for an awesome outing today.
I can't think a better way to spend a goregeous winter day with my 6 year old son than grilled hot dogs, a yuge Mt. Dew, some good fishing on the ice!  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

You got that right! I got a nephew that’s 5 days younger than him, if it doesn’t involve a video game or a tablet he has zero interest.
My kids are trying to bankrupt my toy fund with 22 ammo and 2 stroke outboard oil, which is perfectly fine with dad. |

That's awesome. I love ice fishing. My kids love it too, so long as the fish are biting. Though they seem to have fun running around and sliding on the ice too!

I just started to get into it. I took the kiddos out yesterday. I need to invest in a hub to get us out of the wind.

If I may make a suggestion, shelter and heat are almost mandatory to keep kids interested. If you have multiple small children I would suggest getting at least a 4 person insulated hub and invest in a buddy heater with a 5 lb propane tank. If it's just you and one kid, buy a 2 person flip over shack, insulated of course. |

A little bit of extra weight but are worth it keeping gear dry while supplying traction. Mr. Buddies will thaw a 2" pool of water inside a insulated hub. |

The best eating fish is a Large Mouth Bass through the ice.

You’re not the first person I’ve heard that from. I can’t say I would personally put a largemouth bass near the top of my “best eating” fish list.

Summer bass is different. The amount of meat you get from a bass is great. That upper front area of the filet is a big hunk of fish, white and flakey. |

I do not like fishing on ice
Nor do I like catching lice To freeze my butt off is not nice Somewhat like a bowl of rice. Yeah, sorry, I got nothing. Glad the kids are having fun. Not my thing. Hell, no time for it between wrestling and tae kwon do. |

Put the ice gear away for the season today. Southern end of the state has been poo for ice this year. My poor boat is starting to look awfully lonely and is in need of some walleyes in the livewell soon.

My poor boat is starting to look awfully lonely and is in need of some walleyes in the livewell soon. Males just started hitting last week before the Fox River went above flood stage (10.0 ft.) Launch at the park in Silver Lake at the "F" bridge and head up river, hitting the holes along "W". Walleye is open year round, with a limit of 3 at 18", changed a few years ago from 5 at 15". Purple is the color of choice along this stretch, be it plastics, lindy rigs, or crank baits. |

I'll have to check that out Chukar, thank you! I personally like vertical jiggin eyes while drifting.
I'm normally a Wolf River/Bago system guy when I target them but I'll try to fish them anywhere. After spring though, it's nothing but panfish for me. |

The nice thing is that it's not crowded. I also fish the Wolf and Rock systems, but I can't stand crowds. Also, the white bass run is usually pretty good after the walleye . More so if there is a good shad run coming up from the Chain O' Lakes in Illinois . |
