Looks like it was worth it to get out (for you) !
It was -42c at my place yesterday morning. Calm though.

Nice fish, I'm hauling my shack out to Gull shortly after Christmas and was wondering how well to flasher worked in 10 fow. Is the water clear enough to see bottom yet or was the flasher the way to go?

I have to ask if you have a heater in your tent? The heater makes all of the difference in the tent and make a crappy cold day very enjoyable.

it was clear enough, but yet murky... i used the flasher so see whitefish come in, then id look down the hole and watch them suck in the lure and then set the hook. was intresting to tsee the bottom dance on the flasher everynow and then. So i dropped my lure down further and got the perch, lol

Hey, if you want to land a monster, I have my ice diving ticket, I'll hop in and give the old tip-up a good yank.
I did that diving in minnewanka once 
It was summer, and there were some people shore fishing off an area some divers call the cliffs. Surprised they didn't see our bubbles, or dive flag for that matter. Anyhow, when drysuit diving I wear thick neoprene mitts, I grabbed a lure and started swimming away with it. I just about spit out my regulator I was laughing so hard....
We surfaced after a few minutes and had a good laugh with the guys fishing.
