Well ice fishing season is officially over in my book, there is only 1 post here, & it's a pic of a deer. I know the ice is gone except way up north & lot are fishing open water & Turkey has started. I'm still going to check @ least 2 times a day. I hope some of you will still join me as well.
-
The Hardcore Cadre will be all all summer IW, not to worry ! ;)2 :thumbsup: :icefish: It's only 7 Months, 3 weeks, 4 Days, 53 Minutes and 39, 38, 37, 36, 35 Seconds, Heck it will be back before ya know it !
-
Still here, still checking ;D You never know, someone may come up with an "ecological niche" and post about his/her ice-fishing adventures in July/August. @)
-
It's only over in reality but it lives on in our memories along with all the other ice seasons, and we all know it will be back again. I still check in during the off season at least once a day.
-
I'll certainly drop in from time to time. Once summer hits though, you wont find me inside till next winter. Looking to relocate to Devils Lake ND so maybe that will change. Good fishing everybody. Play hard, play safe.
-
It may be over, but that gives me 7 months to get ready. I like going back into ALOT of the old posts and researching techniques and equipment etc.. This really is an excellent site to learn so many things about ice fishing, and the people on here are very knowledgeable and anxious to help with anything. Tough place to leave just because there's no ice.
-
Ice season? whats an ice season? I got out once last year, and it wasnt because I was lazy!!!!
-
i might be quiet when im not ice fishing but i check in 2-3 times a day during the summer....NO WORRIES,,,,ice ice ice
-
Good luck with the ND mission Charlie, Hope it comes together for ya !
-
Couldn't help myself - took the ol' jig stick out in the boat. It's just not the same... Come on ICE! ;D
-
I'll be here too! ;D
Just for moral support, mind you. ;)
-

Hell, now it's time to remodel the shack and make it even more comfy! I even bought a new truck to pull it!
-
O.T. alert!
Northwoods Harry....welcome! I think I've seen 3 of your 4 posts.
Everybody! Let's single out the newbie! ;D
-
I guess I missed that Harry is a new combatant to the Shanty,thanks for pointing it out Guinea. So Hardwoods Harry welcome to IS. ;D
-
Welcome to the shanty NWH, Glad to have ya aboard ! Summer crews getting bigger, I guess we'll have to slap on another addition on the old girl !
On a more serious note, we have to replace the flag pole again. Last fall just before we closed up the summer shack, Rebel and Ice Dawg ran a set of Humongous Henrietta's bloomers up the flag pole and when the wind grabbed them, the flag pole folded over flat from the strain ! Due to this slightly twisted annual right of passage, I think we should consider changing the flag pole to 6" drill pipe so we don't have to go thru this costly repair every spring !! All in favor ?

Thanks for the welcome! Now that I have sobered up from ice season, I am ready to represent Oconto County Wisconsin....where men are men, beer is always cold, and the women are so ugly that all you want to do is fish!

LMAO, the beer is warm!
Welcome to the site NorthwoodsHarry.

I see it's really hard for people to come up w/some subjects to write about, even me, I've tried, but it looks as every1 has exhausted theirselves also. I'll keep checking in 2 least 2 times a day & if I come up w/something new I'll post.
-
I hear ya IW, I think I will go fire up the Augers today and see if it helps to generate some ice fishing subject matter ! ;)2 :roflmao:
-
Welcome, Harry!!!! Nice to have ya around!!! On a side note, if that Lizard would find a girlfriend that didn't need Omar the Tent Maker for her bloomers, they wouldn't get run up a flagpole so much..... ;D
-
Jeez Reb, Not so loud, if the boss hears, there will be Hell to pay ! :woot:

Hey, they'd be good to use if you were in distress, they would see them from a far, of course they would need to be red! ::)
-
It sure is over!!!!! 91 degrees and climbing!!! Summer's here!!!!!! (almost!) ;D @)

Thats good news - that means we're officially one season down - that just leaves summer to get through and then fall (hunting tears that season up fast anyway) then ICE!!!!
I guess that means I need to start working on my Otter sled version 2 - guaranteed the moment I start tearing things off of it the temps will plummet and snow will fall....
-
Boy I check @ least 2 or 3 times a day & not much chatter going on. I know it's hard to think of things to write when it's 84* out, but I'll keep checking in. Is all the fishing done up in Ak. or Yellowknife?
-
No icefishing here with these temps. Bleah. It's funny that when it's -20 we're all ready to head outside, but on a day like today we're looking for shade! (which means for me personally, I stayed inside till dusk!)

I hear what you're saying but I have a project that needs to get done w/out the snow, I building a stone wall, Oh my aching back, I rather be ice fishing.

Looking good Ice! Yes sir, the back will ache, the hands, the feet, the knees, the whole deal, but when it's complete....you will be proud, and the pain will make you smile.
-
Job well done IW, Oh boy, more lawn to mow !! ;)2 :roflmao:

Oh, I don't mind mowing grass.
-
IW, that looks great! Looks like you have plenty of shade, though. That must help.
Don't mind mowing grass? Let me know when you're in NH....I'll give you directions to my place and tell you where the mower is. ;D
-
I got 2 acres of grass to cut......
Ice, how are you at doing retaining walls????
Don't get me wrong, I am ok with summer....gives me time to dust off the Harley, grow some veggies, raise a few animals to keep the fish company in the freezer.....but MAN! I am sure missing the ice! Winter around here in wonderful! Nothing to do in the yard, the beer stays cold in the shanty, the "Honey Do" list is a thing of the past......sunlight on chrome is nice but give me a good spot over a crib with a pail full of bait and good friends anytime!
Before we know it, it will be harvest/slaughter time, then hunting season. By the time the guns are cleaned and bows put away, it will be time to re-string the reels. I love the time of year where I start looking out over my favorite fishing spot....looking for that first hint of ice!!!
-
Looks great Jeff! Can't believe you're doing all that in this heat. (ok, heading back to hibernation... )
If you noticed, it's fairly shadey where the wall is & I only work on it 2 to 3 hrs @ a time. I hate the heat!
-
I guess it's over.
I took these pictures today and the ice is looking pretty soft. ::)

Thanks for sharing the pictures with us Drifter. It still amazes me how long a season you have there. We haven't had ice in months now, but the clock is ticking and the countdown has already begun. Perhaps another service is in order?
-
Nice pics Drifter, yea it sure looks over up there to me. A couple of more weeks & you'll be able to put the boat in the water.
-
Damn, I can't believe they shut the ice road down just because the ice is getting a Little soft, what were they thinking ?? :woot: ;)2 :roflmao:
-
I was thinking the same thing Surf!!! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/DRIFTER_016/Emoticons/dunno.gif) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/DRIFTER_016/Emoticons/dunno.gif)
