Yea, listen to the silence, oh I can't, I have tinnitus, ringing of the ears, it is so load most of the time it keeps me awake. Backround noise helps. Being outside on the ice I don't hear it as much.

Welcome to the club IW, 30 years of construction noise did it for me !

I like the silence too....Just thinking of listening to nothing with your feet up on your snowmobile basking in the sun, when all of a sudden you hear your flag rip through the water as a 5lb speck takes your bait.

Oh, oh, your talking about the silence on the board.
Must be nice for you mods this time of year when things start to slow a little.

As Moderators, it is sad to see the season end. BUT it gives our delete fingers time to heal up. LOL !!!

Ice/Surf kinda the same here. Thankfully, I don't suffer from tinnitus, but a life in construction means I don't hear so good anymore. My wife says I've always had this problem, but I keep telling her there is a difference between hearing and listening, eh.

On the topic here, it is nice to have the drama and BS of the 'busy season' over with for another year. I enjoy the off season IS more than I do the busy season IS.

me too .... $:-\$ it really sucks

2 thoughts ..... 1st is the vexilar masks it very well .... so i need to ice fish all the time

2 - go trial a hearing aid or aids ..... they make a world of difference in the impact of the tinnitus

Yea, that's what hasppened to me. heavy construction, jack hammering, drilling, & so fourth. I retired 2 yrs. ago this July, the best thing I've done for myself. I get more time for hunting & fishing.

The ice shanty is the Strongest, Most Used, Fastest Growing ice fishing site on the World Wide Web, repeat questions and a few lazy people are the nature of the beast with this site ! Most of the new guys catch on pretty quickly and learn how the site works as far as info goes, some on the other hand, can't be helped with 5 lbs of Dynamite and a pointed shovel !
With a membership of over 30,000 people it is almost impossible to ask a question about icefishing that hasn't been asked before ! I try to keep in mind what it was like when I first joined the site and try to take everything with a grain of salt !
We have roughly about 7 1/2 months of relative peace and quiet before the Chaos and Mayhem ensues once again, I plan to make the most of it and enjoy myself, just my .02 !

In that case my friend, I'll wish you the best of luck and above all, Enjoy the Spectacle that is Summertime on the Shanty !!

On the subject of Chicannery and Tomfoolery, Just because someone is suspected of that kind of behavior, it doesn't make them a Bad person, most times they are just misunderstood !
