The wife surprised me by buying me a Striker Ice flotation suit.  Otherwise I have everything I need.  I may start saving up for a marcum lx9 for next year, pending reviews.

Man I wish, my bonus could have bought me a brand new Polaris Ranger Side by Side this year, but my wife who is 8 months pregnant with our second informed me that it all has to go into savings :(   her and planning ahead like an adult hahaha, O well there is always next year and the year after that and the year after that.

I'm taking a trip to the St Paul Ice Fishing show with my Dad and picking up a Otter Wild Cottage for using as my one man tent.  Looking forward to checking out all the latest gear as well as expanding my ice fishing equipment.

What Vex are you getting?  Can't go wrong there!  I'm ready for some ice!  I tagged out bow hunting so now it's a long wait.
