What new items will you be buying this ice season?
« on: Aug 25, 2006, 05:46 AM »
Let's hear what our members are going to be buying this coming ice season.  A new shelter?  New electronics? A new rod?  New clothing?  Let's hear it.

I'm pretty much set with my gear.  Clothing - ok.....Electronics - waiting to break in the new Vex......I'm begging for a power auger.  I'm most likely going to give Mrs. Santa the nod that says..."buy me nothing else for Christmas...just a power auger".  Makes for a quick Christmas morning but hey...that's all I want!

I need new boots and thicker socks. I want some new tip ups and a another jigging rod with some more tackle. A shelter would be nice, but we will see on that. I need to tune up my auger also, stalls a lot. We all need to chip in together to get some more snow and ice this year, cause all these gadgets are no good without good ice.

I really want to pick up a 4-wheeler to put the gas in because if the snowpack around here is anything like last year, my sleds just wont cut the cake.

I'm in pretty good shape, at least equipment wise. Still working on a snowmobile for those out of state trips.

Most of my pennies are being set aside to cover gas costs ??? ???

Hmm..  I'm going to get a larger shanty, I have the fish trap scout right now but I want something a little larger, either the guide or pro.  Have all the electronics camera vex, powerauger.  All I really want is ice.
All I need is ice and the fish will come.

Going to build a new shanty. I got a lightweight 8x6 design rattling around in my head. Going to weld up a lightweight square-tubing frame, and cover with 1/4" plywood. Not sure if I want to trailer it, or add retractable wheels, and tongue, and register it as a trailer.

Beyond this, maybe some new socks of some of those sweet boots from Cabelas. The LaCrosse boots I got now are in need of replacement.  :o

Already picked up a new jigging rod, tons of jigs, ect on clearence last season.

Maybe another 4 Big Bob Jacktraps to go along with the one I won in last years IS Tourney.

go with a pair for these.    http://www.carhartt.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=10051&productId=32174&langId=-1&categoryId=10908  i got a pair last year and they are the best winter clothing ive ever had aside from my carhartt jacked ( i am like a carhartt poster child.) ive worn gym shorts under them and been snug as a bug in a rug.

as for me. new line for all my tip ups. lots of new jigs and spoons. and stuff to make steel leaders.

I just need to get out on the ice MORE and use all the stuff I already have!
Darn work....keeps getting in the way....poo on the high gas prices.....just give
me more days on the ice...in my hardside...in my soft side...in my truck.....
I want more days on the ice this year!  Last year I planned on a full weekend to
weekend trip to the camp, but work postponed it a week.  I planned on this since
the previous year end. I got up camp, and first day rain.  2-3" of water on the lake.
Second day I tried.  Thrid day I drove home. :'(  Give me more days on the ice!
Give me more snow for the sleds......let me hit the lotto...let me fish more!
Sorry for the rant.  I still don't feel any better.

I picked up a shelter at a yard sale this summer, and some tip-ups on clearance last season.  Other than bait, I think I am all set. ;)

I just bought a custom jigging rod off eBay, it hasn't arrived yet.

Shopping for a Shappell DX3000.

Allways NEED more jigs, too. ;)

Since I'm in the market for a new fish trap or guide, where would be the best place to buy it from,  I mean the best price?  I have a scout now but that will be going to Yogi and I have a shappell 2 man that has only been used twice that will be going in the local paper for sale\.  So any help out there would be great.

thanks
All I need is ice and the fish will come.
