Enjoy while it lasts! Been an awesome winter. Spent the weekend in Duluth snowboarding, snowshoeing, and snow tubing.

I was out on the frozen lake last night talking to a few fishermen;  I typically go for a stroll with the dog when I see fishermen set up camp multiple nights in a row, something is up usually.  Sure enough they were catching a few crappie here and there to make the evening worthwhile.  With fresh holes drilled we got a quick measurement . . . a few inches short of three feet of ice.  I don't ever remember it being this thick, this late. 

My ice out thought at this point is May 1st, really late.  (:

A friend of mine had these motors sitting around the shop too long and I happen to have a hull looking for a horsepower upgrade so...........This one however will not be used for ice fishing.

We have had a warmish winter here in Northern Utah but just when you think winter is gone, it comes back. I had one day at 58 degrees and then the next-one...a foot of snow and then 2 more feet the next day. Snow, rain and sleet last week also and yesterday 60 degrees and clouding up today. Trying to rebuild my V179-- Hope this is the last of it.
