80% of Americans are unhappy with the direction our once great Country is heading. Yet 80% of Americans insist on buying blue jeans that were made in China, coffee filters that were made in Taiwan and anything else that was made anywhere but here........wonder if there might be a connection?

I know where you're heading CC :whistle:  Pick me out a good place for next hardwater so I can make up for all the missed fishing I am having this spring.  After baseball season is over in late June you will find on the river every weekend.   
Bring on the ice!!!!!!!  <br />

I always plot out locations in the summer on my gps, so I can return to them in the winter. I find it faster than drilling tons of holes. Its nice to have 10 or 15 spots plotted out and identified before you even head out on first ice, it saves tons of time. I couldn't survive without my gps.

MDog
wouldn't it be great though if you had a GSP trained to "point" you to those fishing spots?
could be even better than a GPS, eh?

Jack Frost made an appearance in the northern half of Minnesota this morning.
many temps in the 20's
a couple places got down to as low as 17

Mother Nature can be such a tease  :-*  :'(

I would have no idea why you guys would want to go ice fishing. The cold weather is for polar bears and you can't catch any fish while sitting on the ice.  ???



I was trying to talk myself out of missing ice for a while and it only worked for about 1 1/2 seconds ;D I think I'm gonna go get a job digging post holes just so I can dream about drilling holes :wacko:

So ...
what I gather from those facts is this:
Not only can Mother Nature be quite a tease
She is also extremely fickle

Have a good trip Dog, I'm leaving for a three day camping trip this afternoon with the family. Hopefully I'll find some eye's and stripers. I feel sure if there's no fish there will be some screaming kid's to occupy my time :'(
