Lbdn

If it wasn't for bad luck........
I drove 500 miles to fish on good ice. Arrived to my hotel at 2 PM, hit the bait shop and then headed out to the ice. One hit no fish. Next morning thick fog light rain. Fished all morning with no luck. Made another trip to the bait shop, got good advice on area and depth to try and that evening it was game on. Now I know the LBDN jigging technique, good fishing location and proper depth. Escanaba sets a record high temperature, it rains all night and the wind is blowing like crazy come morning. I dive out to LBDN and see shanties gliding at a very high rate of speed across the ice, the area I walked in and out of last night is now open water. Looks like I'm cutting this trip short, if I don't get snowed in I will leave in the AM........

Man, sure didn't see that one coming:yikes: Expected to shore to get a little sloppy, but not all the water getting blown into the bay and up on the ice!

Long way to come to test the new auger (how'd it work, by the way?)

The second picture is a video of the shanties blowing across LBDN.

Chris, the lazer does a good job of cutting the hole but hangs up at the very end of the cut and you have to really man handle it to get through. Looks like its going back and I will wait for the Nils they order in for me. From looking at the weather forcast there is no hurry :sad:
