Marked a few, can't get those buggers to bite.

Can't get into summer fishin this year for some reason,can't wait for the ice!

It's been eight weeks since I quit driving 400 miles one way every weekend to get on the ice. I've been on soft water six of those eight weekends. I will stay away this weekend because it's amateur weekend, but I'll be on a private lake in MI. Been pretty successful on the Crappie this spring, but water levels are up all around me which makes it tough. Hopefully they will be up shallow in MI this weekend. Still check in this site every day, and I'm looking forward to an early winter again.

And I thought my 350mi one-way to ice fish was insane.

Hey, it was worth every mile of it, wasn't it?

if there was some where to drive to within 400 mi that still had ice i'd be all over it oh well guess i'll have to wait only 186 days to ice season here (hopefully)

piker1 · « **Reply #40 on:** May 23, 2009, 09:05 PM »

Still check in here to see whats going on.. Been doing some soft water fishing of shore till boat gets done having tune up done on it.......

SNAGGER · « **Reply #41 on:** May 24, 2009, 11:29 PM »

I'm back over here, just got done with my annual 3 weeks of shore casting for walleye. Started getting my 16 foot boat ready for the open water & thought about Ice Shanty. I'm going to use my Ice equipment from time to time when the walleye go deep. Next winter isn't that far away! snagger!

In western NY there are four seasons
winter - is ice fishing
spring - metal detecting ski slopes - I call it exercise with a view
summer - fishing for lake perch in Lake Erie which I might add provided 150 last week - 42 feet was the
magic depth plus minnows -
fall - deer season gathering leaves for the compost piles -
I smile when I meet those that complain there's nothing to do when it snows - Tried the trip to Fla for a week this past Feb and all I can say is -- I had a successful triple bypass on the trip home - bypassed Jacksonville, Fla - Charlotte, NC and Pittsburgh, Pa - without an accident....
See ya all on the ice in 2010 or earlier - if were lucky.

Drifter_016 · « **Reply #46 on:** May 26, 2009, 10:07 AM »

The ice is just going out here now, so I can wait a few moths for it to return.

Time to get the boat ready!!!!!

Time to get the boat ready?

With a softwater season that lasts 47 minutes, you gotta be ready to launch at the drop of a hat!

Git 'r done!

You going to set up your fishfinder on flasher mode & vertical jig any of your local lakes on a reasonably calm day. Try it, it's the cat's meow! Those fish are more frustrating on open water sometimes!

She's pretty much ready.
The biggest job is vaccuming all of last years dog hair out of it!!!!

It will be a couple of weeks atleast until our ice is completely gone.
But the smaller lakes inside the city limits should be ice free this weekend.
I should be out in my one man cataraft in one sometime this weekend.

You sure can see the people that dont have a winter!! I know Im kinda glad Im not plowing snow anymore this season and would like a break from the furnace running just to have 2 -3 months to restock the fuel and clean out the furnace is nice Still getting temps in the 30's pretty regular here in Northern Maine Id like a break! winter gets old and can imagine up further north of me they have the same thoughts often!

miket. · « **Reply #53 on:** May 27, 2009, 09:11 AM »

our winters here could be a little longer. thats my favorite time of year. i love the temps, the snow,most of all though i love ice fishing.

Tomhusker · « **Reply #54 on:** May 27, 2009, 11:30 AM »

I still pop in 2 or three times a week. My spring fishing has sucked so far. Going out today to troll for walleye, we'll see if it has changed since last week.

other than the cost of fuel to heat i wish it could be winter all year the air is so much more crisp and every thing looks so clean there are no bugs and of course the ice fishing

Nothing beats hardwater fishing.

ValleyStocker · « **Reply #59 on:** May 27, 2009, 06:46 PM »

At this moment, I am one of 7 users on the Shanty.... it is only May, and I am already missing the hardwater. And my new unused Marcum is just sitting on the shelf
