Winter is late showing up for us this year, should have a foot of ice by now but it's been in the 40's all week and what we had is getting thinner by the day. I went down to a little lake the other day before it warmed up and caught 15 landlocks, none over 12". Getting me a new popup shanty, old one is about worn out. And bought me a long track snomachine this year for getting into the back country. I bought myself a brand new 10" gas auger last winter on my birthday and found that I love fishing through the bigger holes, not sure how I got along for all these years with the 6" I had before. Found out how to successfully target and catch pike last winter and plan to hunt down a laker this winter. I have a secret honey hole that holds numerous rainbows in the 18"-26" range, just need some safe ice on too of them.

I'm in limbo dang it, too much ice for my boat and not enough for me!
