Daiwa-Wilderness Trolling-Rods Hard to beat for $16.00 a rod.I bought 4 last season with not very high expectations but have been very happy with them so far.

Nils is the best downside is you have to send in the whole head in to have it sharpend.$25.00 plus shipping both ways.

According to the Genesee Beer fishing contest one the Yellow Perch would also be a State record.

Haven't ice fished it in a couple of years but Silver Lake is usally good for Pike.I use to go out to the deeper water jig up some small Perch(usally dosn't take long).Throw them in a 5 gallon cooler.If there bladder comes out from bringing them up from the deep. Stick it with your hook so they don't float and die.Hike back in to the weed edge.Put them on tipups.Put them from a couple of feet off bottom to 4' under the ice.More than not I would have some action.Can be done on ether end of the lake.

Well put jimski2.

Couple of Lakers in the mix.Perch bite has been slow.

Not like Long Pond but there are a few.

Money maker for the repair shops.Wheelers have been getting stuck and breaking down.Guys broke down Saturday evening 5 miles out.They called 911 and were rescued.There were more 1st responders there than you could imagine.Great to know they have a great plan in place incase things go south and would like to give them a personal Thanks.Sled is by far the best transportation with current conditions.

Glad you have had good luck with the Heartlands.I have used alot of diffrent Daiwa rods and reels.I have had terible luck with the Heartlands.I have broke several that were less than a year old.I will use Daiwa rod but have written off Heartlands.

Another great day on Erie.

Happened to see these at 50% off.Thought I would pass it on.http://www.fish307.com/

There was a army of them out yesterday,If you have 4x4 and chains you have a chance.

Windy and drifted snow at Sturgeon today fished in 54' Drilled 1 hole 12 Inches my buddy moved 100 yards away it was 4in Perch fishing was slow got a few nice ones.Didn't see any one else but I really didn"t look much. Hunkered down.

In my opinion it's not safe for machines yet.Last Sunday I made it out to 53' on foot spudded the whole way. 90% was great 12" plus. 8% iffy 2% I wouldn't walk on.Shoves all the way out to about 50' smooth after that but the ice at 53' was only about 4" of white.I would think with the snow cover it hasn't gotten better.I am going for another hike in the morning will report what I find.But if your crazy ivan you are welcome to blaze a trail for me.

Speaking of Erie current late in the afternoon Sunday while I was out there fishing. The current got so strong I had to dill a hole 5' down current to see my lure and it was large and heavy.I have never seen that much current there.

The DEC did grade it and put some gravel on it this year.The ruts are gone but still steep.The hill scares a lot of people away I guess that's what I like about it.

I have used it other than heart attack hill it's all good.30' of water isn't far.Lots of short eyes and pinners.But have gotten good keepers there also.
