    Cell service is ok. Data is slow but doable.

    There a dead spot between ashern and grand rapids. Other than that its ok.

    I always go through The Narrows. Nice place for a rest stop, a snack, and catch up on the latest fishing news.

    Yes, have lots - but with Satellite based wifi, it would take days to load, so i just trim and send small clips.

    Brandons, very little if any cell on 60 - then good cell in GR, and meh cell up here - boosters in the cabins work ok tho.

    You get 3 mins of cell on the 60. Right by the easterville turn off. Use it wisely.

    Good luck with travel across PTH#60. First time I made that drive I felt like I lost two days. I drive everywhere in the north for work and there is something that makes that road feel like you got stuck in a time warp.

    Too busy with fishermen....
    Forecast was impending fish storm, settling in for a few weeks, no letup in sight...

    Saw a bot ball yesterday, saw a massive, massive pike lost at hole today, and @Grim thinks he has died and gone to fish heaven...

    It was supposed to snow today, but i am looking at blue sky with clouds as we speak.

    Hey hey. I can spare a few squares of cut sucker up here if anyone needs.
    Too much action in this heated permie to properly post. Just landed a 28 inch burbot while typing this pictured above
    Will post more if and when action dies down. Chris if you are reading this. We haven't done the requested intel. Fish moving through steady since 1235

    Nice fish. Just found out I might have access to an unlimited supply of fresh suckers Friday. Have 4 right now but 40lbs would be perfect for the spring haha
