Dam, was looking forward to some sammich pics. I did this last night, can't fish, but I eat good.

Yes it is..but the subject on this ,..is something to do while waiting for ice..
I guess when you can't fish and there's only so much you can talk about..just like getting in the contests for ice fishing..you can't even post a picture of the fish you caught ,..when there's no ice..its a bummer season..for sure.

1st valentine's day I won't be fishing...this is the strawberry cake I made a few days ago.

Thanks for the picture. We need something to pick our spirits up with this lousy weather. That almost looks too good to eat. Question: Do you cook on the ice (when we have some)? That is one of my favorite things about ice fishing.

Salty, one of my daughters is a professional pastry chef.

She thinks you're the bomb!!

Like your great creation, some of the stuff she makes is almost too pretty to eat...

The operative word being "almost"...

Enjoy Yourself!!!

We have some some real nice creek chubs..in 50 gallon drum with our spring running in on them..My husband isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet with them..We trap for them.

There is nothing better than creek chubs. So lively. Problem is, I can't catch them! Years ago, probably around 45, before I was married, my friend and I used to trap tons of creek chubs in the winter. We would chop a hole through the ice in a big pool and put the traps in overnight and find 20 or 30 in the morning in each trap. I went back to the same exact creek, same traps, same bait, and cannot catch a one. Tried multiple other deep pools in other areas of the creek, and nada. Don't know what happened. Just disappeared. Shners are not nearly as good.

Hey Spider. Your handmade arrow operation is intriguing. Any chance you can post a picture or two of you and your grandson in action?

Spider1 · « **Reply #42 on:** Feb 15, 2023, 05:44 PM »

no, unfortunately I can't post pictures.

PaCarpboy · « **Reply #43 on:** Feb 15, 2023, 06:44 PM »

Oh, that's right. I forgot. Your Blackberry doesn't have a camera.....

Spider1 · « **Reply #44 on:** Feb 15, 2023, 07:33 PM »

funnnn-nnny

na, I'm pretty sure you need a 3rd party storage site to load pictures from right? I've messed with them and they are no bueno. So I live without.

PaCarpboy · « **Reply #45 on:** Feb 16, 2023, 07:46 AM »

Actually, I think you pull the pictures from your computer picture folder. No third party site needed. Here is a picture of my grandkids, Matthew and Katherine (hope it worked)

RuttNutt · « **Reply #46 on:** Feb 16, 2023, 09:07 AM »

They’re cute George! 😁

Spider1 · « **Reply #47 on:** Feb 16, 2023, 09:16 AM »

LOL! I can't see any pictures... maybe it IS my computer.

RuttNutt · « **Reply #48 on:** Feb 16, 2023, 09:56 AM »

Yeah, same here! No pictures when I log onto IceShanty on my work pc. But when I am on my phone I can see pics.................

Hey Rut, you've got a nice job there, hate to see anything happen to it...

Send me your electric auger and your shelter and there won't be a need for me to call your boss...

Just send it to La Casa del Whacko, Beautiful Downtown Spring, TX, just across the sewage canal from the creosote plant...

On my lunch break of course! 😏

SIQ, you should open up a restaurant! That sandwich looks soooooo good. How do you get the pickles to be crunchy when canning? Pickle crisp? Grape leaf?
And thanks for the comment on my grandkids. They are so much fun and another one on the way in April.

Buck tail on a size 6 Aberdeen hook with some flash. Easy, cheap, and catches fish!

PaCarpboy · « **Reply #56 on:** Feb 17, 2023, 02:49 PM »

I just posted this to Season is Over. Meant to post it here. What is your interpretation of those clouds in the picture?

Salty Ice Queen · « **Reply #57 on:** Feb 17, 2023, 06:40 PM »

Thanks , much.
I really soak them and fridge them in a salt water bath over night..nothing else..I actually forgot my second fillet on the sandwich after I posted it..😆..I actually owned my own day care in my home while my children grew up.
On our 100 acre farm..I had up to 20 kiddos running around..I'm so praying for grandchildren..My daughter is 33 now..I told her to get a move on. 😅

Grandkids bring back all the memories from raising yours. Makes you feel both old and young. My two are very special. Aren't everyone's, right? Well, there's a story behind both. But they are as fun and smart as they come. Only get to see them in person once in a while as they live in Pinehurst, NC. I'll be going down after the next one is born. My wife more than that.
You and your husband are so fortunate to have that kind of environment. All you need is a big pond full of crappie and perch and you'd be all set.
Take care

hey, cool, it worked! I think...

We finished up the dozen today and took 'em out to see how they fly. The Mrs got some pics of that but hasn't sent them to me yet.
