Ordered some new tires for the three wheeler, gonna change the fluids and looking for a rack for it. I keep checking Cabela's for ice gear too! :icefish: :icefish: 
We will be on Erie before we know it  ::)
Funniest thing about ice fishing for me is when people who know nothing about ice activities try to warn me about the dangers of the ice...

My guess (wishful thinking) is Dec. 18. Whatever the actual date is, it won't be long before we're cutting holes and catching some 1st ice perch or 'gills or crappie or whatever else decides to bite. Yes!!!
Tight lines!

I'm looking at a better forecast here. Little warm up won't hurt a thing..

The winds are what's going to screw it all up...
