It has been widely reported that, by Minnesota law, permanent/unattended ice houses in the Southern two-thirds of Minnesota will have had to be off the ice by midnight, March 1. The Northern third of Minnesota has until March 15. The Waseca County News reported the same in their own article.
But what made the [...]
I had the opportunity to participate in a very cool initiative last Sunday. It was called Hunt.Fish.Feed.SM put on by the Sportsman Channel, Safari Club International Foundation, and Comcast.
Hunt.Fish.Feed.SM is a program to encourage sportsmen to donate their extra meat from hunting and fishing harvests to their local hunger relief organizations. They are [...]
I had scheduled a blog post for tomorrow to talk about things I’ve learned about ice fishing equipment, but then I noticed that my next post (now this one) would be my 100th. I couldn’t let a milestone like that pass without at least acknowledging it.
It’s hard to believe that I’ve found 100 topics [...]
From my family to yours, I would like to wish you a prosperous and bountiful (fish or otherwise) Year of the Tiger.
I’ve lived in Minnesota all my life (except for a college at Purdue), but this is the first year I’ve been on frozen lakes with any kind of regularity. This year, while I’ve been a passenger in vehicles on the ice, I’ve never actually driven on the ice myself.

On the first weekend after the start of school, our neighborhood gets [...]

Filling of your choice
Pudgy pie iron
Non-stick spray
Spray both sides of the pudgy pie iron with non-stick spray. Put one slice of bread on once side of the pudgy pie iron. Add filling. Put other slice [...]
While this isn’t related to fishing, walleye was a VERY integral part of the festivities, so I thought you might like to see…
Our neighborhood held our first ever wild game feast. Everybody brought wild game to share and we had plenty of food, so it was definitely a feast. Hopefully, this will become [...]
