I only been here for 14 years, but it's kind of crazy to think that's pert near half my lifetime! Always a been a fun board to both lurk and interact.

Like anything else in life, it's interestin to see the change in course around here. It's been noticeable that some of these threads have turned into the same trash as the BookFace groups and a lot of the new Shanty members were cut from that nasty FB cloth. Makes me really feel like the Old Timer.


Tight lines to y'all!

I live in MT, so when I ain't huntin, I'm fishin!
Boy the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.

And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.

Didn't need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days

'bout 50 on ice, 20 on shanty.
I started out with a red schoolie,  a spud bar, a salad spoon and a sparkplug soldered
to an alligator clip to determine depth. My bobber was made from some kind of black
foam with red paint on the top.  Everything went into a 5 gal bucket...

fish on,

Give my catches to partners since my wife is allergic to fin fish... this makes me popular for some reason...

 Started following a uncle in 1948 at 7 years old, times and equipment have had a big change. Still getting out every winter as soon as safe ice is on.Not as daring as years past  :) Hope to stay with ice fishing as long as I am able, wife worries if I go alone, so usually have a partner . Don't remember my join date

20 years for me, back when I lived in Wyoming.  Hard to believe it’s been that long.
