I was stationed up in Grand Forks for 9 years. I definitely spent time on Devils. Woodland has a good reputation and will put you on the fish. Late May, early June were my favorite times to go, when the walleye were spawning. You could have days you you pitch cranks in 2-4 feet of water and...

I wouldn't mind a couple more months of ice fishing!

Except football, baseball, basketball, hunting, and etc.

Im in the market for some new boots. I already have some rubber 1400 gram boots that work well when the temperature drops, so I'm looking for something I can wear early and hopefully into the rut. What do you guys recommend and why?

12" around DBQ and the Mississippi backwaters.

I haven't been out yet. The weather this month hasn't been very nice to the ice out east! On top of that, I'm recovering from Dec 5 back surgery. Hopefully I'll be out in the next couple of weeks.

Yup ignorance isn't an excuse.

They could be non residents. I know it's up to the Hunter to read and know the laws of where they hunt but, too many people rely on word of mouth, whether it's right or wrong. I lived in ND for 9 years. If the land wasn't posted, legally you could hunt it. I agree with the above though...

Right now it's between the LX6 and the Lowrance Elite 5. Marine General out of Duluth has them marked down to $450 with a $100 mail in rebate. They look to be very similar except the Elite 5 is $250 off right now. hopefully we'll have some ice again soon!!

100% agree!!

I pulled the trigger on the Jiffy Pro4 Lite. Looks to be a good unit especially for $399! Next thing to buy is an electronic unit. Im leaning towards the Marcum LX3, but I keep hearing good things about the Humminbirds, Showdowns, and Lowrance Elite 4. Id like to keep it in that price...

Awesome deer!

Do you guys ever have problems with the propane cylinders freezing up?

I sold all my gear a few years back when I moved from ND to Indiana. Had I known that I was going to end up in Iowa, I would've kept it. My FL18 was awesome, but it's too much to buy twice! Looks like I'll try the Marcum. Not really sure where to fish around DBQ, but I'll give it hell trying...

Thanks Hillwalker. I wasn't sure if the LX3 had the zoom or not. That's an awesome feature to have. I'll probably go that route unless someone sells me hard on the hummingbird flashers.
