As an artist, I've been fueling my ice fishing needs by sketching and it's been sufficing... for now.

If things keep going the way there going now, ill have to admit myself into the nuthouse before the ice even gets here! I dont think I can wait any longer.

fishingeorge · « **Reply #14 on:** Aug 28, 2014, 12:50 PM »

Ok well I guess while I'm "waiting" I'll show off that I've done got my camper all ready to go. All I have to do is load the vex and gas cans and I'm as good as gone.

Where do I get one???

UFCreel · « **Reply #20 on:** Aug 28, 2014, 05:40 PM »

Many many years ago I had one. A female named Cherry. Got he a around six week old baby. One of my neighbors found her in his garage. She loved me. But bit my mom, dad, and sister. Had her for six years. When I was gone I had to pen her. One day she got out. I forgot to put lock on pen. Neighbors dog did her in. While I loved her. I would not recommend anyone getting one.

fishingeorge · « **Reply #21 on:** Aug 28, 2014, 06:10 PM »

Yes she is very busy and never stops. my dogs take care of her and keep her busy lucky for me

she eats the dogs food cats food well she eats everything my little garbage disposal... wife and I have been discussing turning her into an full time outside animal no cage after winter and see if she sticks around like an outside cat...

Jeepers, I don't know how much more I can take! Got some things out today and started going through it all. This led to watching YouTube videos... Now I'm re-spooling tip ups and jig rods! I wish it was here!

We were up at the cabin this week. My wife's father is a scuba diver. I had him down 25 feet in this large flat finding humps and structure for me that I marked in GPS. Best part was that he was happy to do it.

On a side note, hammered crappies in the afternoon.

mattkenzer · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 08, 2014, 09:47 AM »

January 1st, 2015 before our ice fishing season starts.
I have been in my garage every evening for the past two weeks tinkering with gear.
You know it's bad when you are trying to save things to do with the gear just so I can get it all back out the next night.

Yes, my wife thinks I have lost my marbles.

ADKLakerTaker · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 08, 2014, 09:57 AM »

Lol, mine too!

Did some mods to my Frabill Adventurer ... Frabill rod holders and made a nice place for my Portable Buddy to stay put.. attached to the front interior of my sled...tested the Catch cover rod holder and the Mags sidebaiter shelf ...got some Okuma reels coming for a pan fish and walleye set ups ...but you do gota stretch your ice prep out ..makes it a lil easier on the waiting some

jthod · « **Reply #27 on:** Sep 08, 2014, 10:46 AM »

sat on the dock yesterday with my ice rod and caught little gills, along with the long rods catching perch and bigger gills

The Gander Mtn I work for was remodeled 3 years ago to be just a gun store. All fishing was removed, as was camping and women's clothes. Well, what goes around comes around and we're remodeling starting tonight to re-introduce fishing and camping and women's clothes.

This past weekend I was digging through all the boxes and gaylords to find stuff in the ice set. So far all I found was a couple of boxes of Custom Jigs and Spins. I was told in exchange for me not digging through every box of stuff that comes in, that I could see the ice set plan for this fall. I looked and was told to write down my suggestions for stuff we should get that's not included. So that should keep me busy for a bit.

I know exactly what your going through,lol. I checked my deer stand and cleared shooting lanes, thats about all I need to do for archery so Ive been obsessing about ice fishing. Ive even taken an inventory of jigs etc. and have quite a list in my cart at FishUSA. I just don't want to be left out in the cold like last year as far as jigs, line etc. so I'm ordering early (next week).
