Thai sweet chili, Mate, with lemon juice added, to thin down a bit.

Got out yesterday for the first time this season. A buddy and I joined the tournament on the lake right near my house. Fishing was slow and pressure was high with 197 competitors on a 2,000 acre lake. I ended up catching the 2nd place walleye, pretty much in the last moments of time we had left. We had to pack and race to the weigh-in, where I was surprised to find that my fish even placed. It was a fun, but tiring day, with good company.

Went to the hard shack again, with Joe & Judy. Girls playing Crib between bites; Bite was slow, but we managed 8 walleye. Turned 'em into these; Life, does not suck !

Where is all your snow ? We've had 2 very big snows, but both times it melted off. The snowmobilers are crying. Thankfully I only use mine for fishing and there was enough scattered patches of snow on the ice to keep the sled cooled.

Finally getting on some ice, for the first time, tomorrow. Between the warmer weather, and all the life that's been happening, haven't been able to get out. But things have settled down and it's been cold! Place is primarily a panfish area with the occasional northern going through. Have my Strikemaster and Marcum batteries all charged up and propane bottles for the Buddy heater. Hoping for a nice fish fry this Friday!

If you don’t mind sharing the details some of those fish combos would be fun to do for my fly in groups this summer. Osky

Finally got a 2nd round of fishable ice here starting Tuesday. The bite after work was solid, but it was a dinkathon. Yesterday afternoon was a lot slower, but the fish were better sized. I'm hitting it again after work today, because looking ahead at the forecast the ice will be shot by Sunday or Monday. It's been a pretty lousy winter for ice down here.

I've only been out twice this winter. 😔
I just picked up a nice, used air cooled sled as an ice-fishing machine. Looking forward to getting out this weekend and using it and getting on some fish, hopefully crappie and maybe some walters.
