Guys-

There is still plenty of snow on Mille Lacs and over three feet of ice. The condition of the snow at any given moment is pretty much dependant on the current temp. Right now it is probably fairly hard and fast. Could soften up a little today and tomorrow. I checked with a fisherman who was out where we were on Wednesday. Myr Mar Marina. It took his whole auger to get a fishin' hole. We are still driving on the ice where there are plowed roads. Brian & Heather from Ozone and the rest of the Kite MN gang rode around Myr Mar Marina (3 miles North of Garrison). They have a plowed road that goes three miles out. The wind at that point is of course good in any direction. There is also a plowed road that goes out for miles from Malmo right in front of Castaway's Resort & Bar. Even though these are plowed roads you still may need 4x4 to access due to slush spots. However, with the temps over the last two days and nights it should be decent. Don't know where we will be Sat & Sun. We might just stay around Brainerd, we still have plenty of snow & ice around here. In fact we are going to Gull...right now. Yee Haa!!

Give us a call to hook up this weekend or anytime for that matter...

I'm heading to WBL Sat. With winds out of the SSE and S, sounds like a Ramsey launch???? Hey Mike B, what time are you planning on getting up there?

I might head to Mille Lacs Sunday.

Tomorrow it is for me. I'm heading to Mille Lacs, Malmo or Reddy Creek if it isn't raining. Early.

Vojta is heading to Reddy Creek.
