set off on an adventure yesterday in the sub zero temps and explored some FP lakes covering a large area. it was me and the muck boots, pulling the sleds around knee deep snow, sometimes to the waist in a surprise drift. sitting on a frozen pond in the middle of a prairie, my steaming paws hoisted much welcomed largemouth from a couple holes.

I have always been on Chitown angler, but it seems the reports have gone away a bunch recently. I have been out 3 times this year. twice on channel and once on pistakee.
