Default Dodging the cold in an EPIC Ice Shack! ( Gull Lake Icefishing)

Had a wicked stay in the lodge, ended up seeing and catching a variety of species and a delicious burbot catch and cook also!

Great video. Nice work on the burb. We rented the Social at the end of December. My wife and kids had a great time and caught quite a few pike and walleye but no whitefish or burbs unfortunately. Real nice set-up Chad has there.

Thank you and that's awesome! Yeah it's definitely tougher to find the whitefish these days but they are still there!

Google Gull Lake Fishing charters. Price is a little higher on weekends. Usually discount deals to be had.

I'm not too sure! It seemed to be keeping up fine and it wasn't a very sunny day at all either.

Like your videos keep them coming. With that said there is no reason to waste the belly fillet. Lot's of wives tales out there that might prevent the gullible into keeping it. There is nothing wrong with it.
