Upper Red Lake
There is plenty of ice on Upper Red Lake. We ventured up that way last Sunday. We could have drove the truck out on the ice, but played it safe and took the wheeler. What a pain.

btw, try 64th oz jigs from Keith. I have yet to need anything smaller. Possibly for ice fishing, but 64 seems to be the lowest I've had to go to get the bite on.

Buy the jigs through Keith :)
I 86'd the float setup. Sometimes the bite was so light you would miss it. Just a slow drift dead-sticking the jigs right at the tops of the weeds. Just killed 'em. -

Great post.
I could not agree with you more. Find more than a few lakes in an area to monitor water temps on. Once you hit 'em it's hard to get off the lake.
