MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Hey catch, you may have a future in photography. Blow that picture up and frame it. I'm no art critic but the picture has balance and beauty. I guess it all depends on the subject and what resolution your camera has. My limited experience is my phone camera don't cut it. If not photography then maybe fish arrangements
Looks like we will need boats for the tourney
Wow! I just took a tour around the other posts. Am I imagining the general tenor of our discussions are becoming more and more confrontational and less helpful and informative? In the past I have enjoyed the post by some of our stalwart contributors and lately, perhaps because of the lack of ice, cabin fever whatever, the general din of our quips and quotes are often demeaning and disrespectful. I will bust on my friends with the best of them, but some times it is a thin line that takes us over the edge into down right warfare. I know we have all witnessed this in the near past and have lost valuable contributors to the general forum due to the excesses of heated disagreements. I would hope, pray we can practice more civility in our inter forum conversations. Let's pretend our 10 year olds are reading our posts. Better yet, let your ten year olds read your posts. Are you proud of everything you post? Some of you have so much you can share with the rest of us. We all share this venue, this communitive forum we call Ice Shanty.com, so let's put the mods out of business, let's be more civil, more informative, more forgiving , yet and still convey our thioughts with joviality and a laugh or two.
Even though it looks better, be careful out there. Take a partner, walk 10 feet apart or more. bring hand spikes and if you have an old water ski rope with the handle on it, roll it around its own handle and put it in your back pack or sled. Think cold.
I'm too busy following the su football recruiting to catch any of this. I think we all should take a pause and sing kumbaya and praise the lord all mighty Doug Marrone.
Eddy, Trapper, Catch, HT, bcon,Pondskipper, thanks for bringing some of those newbys under your wing, and thank you to all who bring a new addict to the fold. Last year, I know some of us brought some Fort Drum soldiers and their families to the ice last year. Selfishly, I had a great time and met some great guys and their family members. Now that so many of us are making the trek north every week end, maybe we could offer to take a new military member or two with us. Is any one else so inclined? Big Sunny and I are looking at 3 mile on Sat. if the weather and ice permit. I hope the Pond heals itself, but strongly believe those open holes are not solid yet and worse , now covered with thin ice under heavy snow. Even though it looks better, be careful out there. Take a partner, walk 10 feet apart or more. bring hand spikes and if you have an old water ski rope with the handle on it, roll it around its own handle and put it in your back pack or sled. Think cold.
Jim I think we should start a program to start getting our military men and women out on the ice. This is something I have always wanted to do to show my thanks. I always buy a man or women in uniform a drink when I'm in a bar or restraunt to show my appreciation to them. Fort drum is a stones through away. They would love to go out fishing for the day. Anyone else got any ideas? I know this year is spent for ice but maybe we can put our heads together for next year.
Cograts fishtank to you and your wife
Be careful if you are going to actually do this.. You may need to get a guides license not sure. I would help you with that part of it if you need.
Why would you need a guides license if you took people fishing, guides get payed money for their services, just taking someone fishing you shouldn't need a license. cny
