Normally I cast for walleyes till I get iced out , usually it’s only 2 weeks till I’m ice fishing somewhere 🎣😃
This year I’m grounded do to a family member needing some assistance for a short while , then game on 👍

Watch YouTube videos of ice fishing. But have already been on the ice three times since Christmas so I stopped watching videos

Been getting ice stuff ready, built some rods, now working on a new sled to hold everything that fits in the trunk of the car. Made me a new green hornet since I gave my boy my other one.

Love the Green Hornet May have to make one for myself I can hear the laughter on the ice now

meandcuznalfy · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 10, 2023, 07:38 PM »

Lol, me too, works great, use it all the time, sent a pic to my neighbor and now have to make one for his grandson.

Pi$$ and Moan!

Actually I've been killing time by doing chores I'd do in the spring, like firewood, and doing a little reloading and shooting. Planning to hit some sport/gun shows too: Wells this weekend, Albany the following. This past weekend we went ammo shopping in Vermont (thanks to NY's silly gun laws).
