<p>It's that time of year again in Northern Minnesota, when the lakes lock up, the hands, go numb, and we drill to get our fish! Local reports are flooding in with 4-5 inches on most of the smaller lakes. Some of the larger lakes have ice up it is dangerous yet. I don't know when I will be able to get the auger out this year. I have been dealing with Sciactica since September 22nd. I have done phyisical theropy for a month and a half, and most recently had a spinal epidural cortisone shot in…</p>

I have been dealing with Sciactica since September 22nd. I have done phyisical theropy for a month and a half, and most recently had a spinal epidural cortisone shot in the L5 area to numb the pain. An MRI has confirmed that I do have a herninated disc at L5/S1 anlong with 3 more buldging discs above that. Surgery is immenient. Even with all that I still have my gear ready and I do plan on getting out once or twice for that rush of drilling holes and catching fish! <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220397156?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220397156?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-center"/></a></p>I would like to introduce someone very special!!!tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2013-02-21:2036984:BlogPost:3550952013-02-21T05:15:06.000ZPatrick "Bullworm" Olsonhttp://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/Bullworm

I finally got some ice time in!!! I have been so bogged down with school and work that I have not been able to get in as much time as I wanted. I was finally able to get away today and drill some holes. Things started out real slow. Not much time had passed and I soon realized I needed to go deeper than my usual 7-9ft. Yup, that's right 7-9ft. I'm a sight fisherman! Staring through the hole, playing the puppet master, that's what I do most of the time. Except for today. Today called for a depth…

I was finally able to get away today and drill some holes. Things started out real slow. Not much time had passed and I soon realized I needed to go deeper than my usual 7-9ft. Yup, that's right 7-9ft. I'm a sight fisherman! Staring through the hole, playing the puppet master, that's what I do most of the time. Except for today. Today called for a depth of 15ft and the use of a Vexliar. The spring bobber and the sensitivity of the St.Croix Legend were also vital. Here are my results! It was a great free day!!!<a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220393910?profile=original"><img class="align-full" width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220393910?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024"/></a>Auger-less at the moment so what to do?tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2011-01-01:2036984:BlogPost:1147632011-01-01T21:10:35.000ZPatrick "Bullworm" Olsonhttp://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/Bullworm
<p>Hello friends!</p>
<p>Bw is auger-less at the moment, super bummer! My auger locked up from too many years of neglect. Thats what happens when you move from the "ice belt" and are going for 8 years. My fault. I will be buying a new auger this month, that can't come soon enough!</p>
<p>So what to do when the lakes are forzen and you have no way to punch a hole? Not much! I have bought some jigs and such but, I happend to stumble upon a tv show on the web, last night. The show is on the Versus…</p>

<p>So what to do when the lakes are forzen and you have no way to punch a hole? Not much! I have bought some jigs and such but, I happend to stumble upon a tv show on the web, last night. The show is on the Versus channel if you have cable, or like me, if you don't, it can be found here <a target="_blank" href="http://www.icemen.tv/">Ice Men TV</a> What an amazing show!!! </p>
<p>If the weather has got ya down or if you have no clue about ice fishing please check this out!! For 2 days I have watched every episode, from both seasons! </p>
<p>I will let you all know when The BW is back in action on the ice! </p>
