some trees were polinating today that reminded me of snow. Snow doesent make my nose run and my eyes water like tose darn trees though!

I said a little word to the icegods last night and they told me we would be on ice before long

I sure hope it was real and not just a dream.

lol

Nothing like a good state of unpreparedness to bring onn those things whitch we really love huh. Id rather be sittin on the ice trying to sort through my conglomeration of not so well kept fishing stuff than sittin on the garage floor lookin at a bunch of neatly well organized gear and wishin i was fishin. and i think you should have to clean out the gum and turpintine out of the carbs and fuel lines till theres 12" of snow and ice. All this and maybe the ice gods would bless us by halloween

forecast in the low 70's for tomorrow...no ice in sight $:-\$ the weatherman says we got just under 4" of rain in the last 2 days...as much as i miss the ice , im glad it wasnt snow

Skipper · « **Reply #67 on:** May 03, 2006, 08:44 PM »

We have had cold enough nights here to ward away the bugs, but when it warms up they are gonna make up for lost time!

billditrite · « **Reply #68 on:** May 04, 2006, 07:19 PM »

well the weatherman was right...it was warm today...im sure we didnt make any ice last night and its not looking good for tonight

placed an order of top secret custom jigs recently...i wouldnt want to be a crappie in southern maine in dec of this year

I am looking at a new wheeler for fishing next winter. Its a new Honda Rubicon 500, I told the salesman I was going to sleep on it and get back to him by saturday. Any imput would be apreciated. I think I will go check out some Yamahas before I load anything up and take it home first. What do you think?

can't go wrong with Honda or Yamaha.

Ive settled on the rubicon, but I think I will shop around some more. This dealer is so cheap he wont even throw in a free hat.

Had to scrape the windshield of ice yesterday in the a.m. and likely again today .

May 6th and I've got a good frost this morning which is pretty normal for my area. Hopefully come fall we will have normal temps with frosts starting around the first week of september. Last fall I don't think I had a frost until late october which had me very worried about early ice. $:-\$ Even still the ice did form around an average date and I was ice fishing on Nov 26th. 8)

Slap him in the face with cash and you'll get your hat !!
Cash always does the trick .

I always had Honda's before but a few years ago I bought an Arctic Cat and love it. The honda that I had was a racing machine and I kinda grew out of that stage. Thats the only reason I got rid of it. Oh yea, the icefishing sucks this time of the year

i was on the ocean all day today...i kept a sharp eye to the north in hopes of catching a glimpse of an iceberg, but all i saw was about twenty whales, half a dozen harbor porpoises and some fresh haddock for supper...no ice. still a great day at sea!!

C.C. · « **Reply #78 on:** May 07, 2006, 07:28 AM »

I'm glad to hear you had a good day at sea Scotty. Hope your arm's hurt when you got back to dock

. Tell me though, just exactly what were you gonna do if you would have seen an iceburg

Did you stand in the bow, lean out on the rail, spread your arms and yell, "I'm king of the Ice Shanty!"?

I DID!! there were no icebergs in sight but it was beatiful no matter where ya looked!

Byron/PA · « **Reply #80 on:** May 07, 2006, 05:05 PM »

Just saying hello

fished LB state park today, caught two jumbo perch and a bunch of decent crappie, man I hope we have good ice this year............

Skipper · « **Reply #81 on:** May 07, 2006, 08:53 PM »

In summer, when I get off work early I mow lawn.

In winter, when I get off work early I fish!

C.C. · « **Reply #82 on:** May 08, 2006, 12:36 PM »

These dang crappie's aren't near as fun on 6' rod's as they are on 2 footers but at least there biting

Jim

Skipper · « **Reply #83 on:** May 08, 2006, 08:25 PM »

Big smelly fat carp are fun on a 6' pole!

Had to scrape the raindrops from Saturday night off of the canoe paddles on Sunday morning. It was a tad nippy, you could say.

icefishnfool · « **Reply #85 on:** May 08, 2006, 09:29 PM »

well ...............I am sure the ice will be comming soon .......just look at the thermometer, the temperature is allready falling

camo_fish · « **Reply #86 on:** May 09, 2006, 07:29 AM »

why ice them, when there easier on the open water.

But I'll be waiting for that 1st ice fishing trip come Christmas.

C.C. · « **Reply #87 on:** May 09, 2006, 10:02 AM »

Camo, thats exactly why I like to get them in the winter. There too easy on the open water

Jim

SleePac · « **Reply #88 on:** May 09, 2006, 10:55 AM »

Uh....I'd just like to catch one period! Here's hoping my fishing luck changes soon!
