Ice fishing?

Hopefully, next year we have open water through Christmas. This year was cut way too short for my liking...

Cant go wrong with a Calcutta. They are the best reels I have used.

I got a lefty Calcutta TE and it is the best reel I've owned. The base Calcutta model B is cheaper than the TE and a lot cheaper than the D and I have heard it is almost just as nice. One thing I try to suggest to people is if you have multiple setups try using a lefty reel on one and a righty on an...

Pretty interesting article on the Boardman River dams.

I am excited to hear about this at the meeting tonight. The original note posted by Will mentions plans for habitat rehabilitation. Are there any specific plans to work on possibly recreating areas or enhancing areas in the lake where they are able to spawn successfully? Definitely something we (MMA...

Thanks for all the info Will. This is pretty exciting news and hopefully if all goes well and we can get Gun Lake stocked with GLS fish again, maybe with a little habitat restoration we can have a naturally reproducing population of the native strain in a southern Michigan lake not name Lake St. Cla...

Thanks Will. This is not far from where I live so I will make an effort to make it to this meeting July 18th. I dont know if I have any real input to add but I would like to listen in on the discussion. Is there anything MMA would want to bring up at the meeting? Is there much opposition to these pr...

Very cool. Has it been proven that the muskie that have recently been taken from there are indeed native GLS fish and is it also known that the original native strain is the GLS strain? Or could these be a naturalized population of the stocked northern strain fish that have reproduced successfully e...

Great news. Thanks for the update guys. Now lets catch some ice out muskies.

I dont think they will even be close to spawning yet up north as water temps probably wont be close to 50 yet. Temps up there have been mostly in the 20s and 30s the last couple weeks and are just now reaching into the 40s. Unless there is a prolonged warm stretch in the next week and a half where i...

Great time as always. Nice to meet some of you guys that I have not met before and always nice to talk muskies with everyone there. Those meatballs for dinner were pretty delicious as well. Also got some nice new rain gear so I wont be the soaking wet frozen guy at the Bruce this year and some baits...

Lower Antrim Chain first, Grand Traverse Bays at the Boardman and Elk Rivers second, then the West side river mouth lakes starting with Spring Lake. Those would be my top 3 in this dream world. I realize that many people love the smaller inland lakes that have previously been planted with muskie, bu...

Nevermind Chris, Chuck from The Sportsman Repair Shop from JP's post got back with me this morning and has the parts I need in stock and will ship them to me today for real cheap too. Thanks for the help from all of you.

Shimano will ship it to you for free. DO NOT BUY FROM MIKES REEL REPAIR p.s. I just got this same part shipped, go figure. Yeah went to buy this stuff from Mikes Reel Repair and shipping was way over priced and they could only guarentee shipping within 6 weeks. Chris, how do you order parts like th...
