VB yesterday Feb 14th

Well since it was Valentine's Day yesterday and my girlfriends been asking me to take her out fishing I decided this was a perfect opportunity lol.

Got to VB around 6:30am and started getting ready. The temperature gauge on my dash read -30!! Man it was cold. My Sportsman 500 had a tough time getting started. Good thing I had it on the battery tender overnight or we would have been walking

We managed to catch over 50+ jumbos but only kept 20 for a nice fish fry.

Not much snow cover on the ice it was like a skating rink out there. If anyone is walking out bring your cleats!

Lots of people driving vehicles on the ice too...personally I think it was a little too early for that...the ice was making some of the craziest noises I've ever heard.

Oh ya...I ended up buyin a new Salus one piece float suit and this thing is like an oven. I definitely recommend their products if anyone is in the market for a new float suit.

Nice report huntingandfishing88... Awesome you guys had fun

Great job getting out and the girlfriend to.. Troopers for sure.. Glad you got on some fish as well!!

How thick is the ice now and where did you park at??

Thanks

There were people parking on the ice at hadden. I have a buddy that lives on black river and I park there.

We were sitting on about 9"-10" of solid clear ice.
