Well I got some buds that are on in the LaPorte/Valpo area. So I did some "scouting" today close by. Got a few farm ponds that have 3"s. Kuhn, at the Barbee Chain is froze over but not fishable. The Tri-County FWA area is not ready yet. Kind of depressing for me to be honest. But I got some new ice line and some bait. Gonna get some more equipment ready to go including my shacks. Then I will patiently wait or my arsz is heading about 1 1/2 hours north towards the Michigan line. Times like this I wish I lived a lot closer to I-69.
