A few key takeaways from this past weekend:
-Patience is everything. The fish here roam a lot, you might go 30 minutes without marking anything, only to have a sudden flurry of activity.
-Always set up tip-ups. You never know what might be lurking nearby, and they can make all the difference.
-Don’t be afraid to seek advice! Blade’s Bait & Tackle was not just the perfect spot for bait, but also an incredible source of local knowledge. They pointed us in the right direction and gave crucial tips on where to avoid due unsafe ice

Big shoutout to those who share their insights—it can turn a good trip into a great one!
