Dad and I bought a FL-8 last year right after Christmas and only got to use it once.  Also got a new portable shanty (never used).  It better freeze good this year!

Be careful guys.  I think I'll wait for a little more ice but I'm sure getting anxious.

Gander Mt. in Merrillville is starting to get some of their hard water stuff out.
Saw a couple of Aqua-Vu Scouts, and some shanty's, the Clam chair, and a few Vex's.
No rods, or jigs yet though......

They have Atlantis underwater cameras at Menards in Valpo for $150. It's not an Aqua- Vu but at a fraction of the cost. I picked one up and can't wait to see the one that got away.

I think after last years stint with an aqua vu in central indiana I will fall in line and get a vex. Tired of getting beat up by the vex users on the ice...This year may be a little different hopefully. I need to get the fertilizer out on that blasted money tree!!

I use the 80/20 rule you need 80% of the tackle to catch 20% of the fish

I have been gearing up for the upcoming season also! First off I got new blades, gas cap and spark plug for the auger. I bought 10 new ice rods and reels, 5 polar tip ups, 2 dozen jigging Rapalas and am in the process of building a new shelter! ;D

Hi Gang!
  Ok I have hit the moth-er load this year!
  My wife loves me more than I could ever imagine.
  I got a 4x4 quad runner for ice fishing
  New skiers snow bibs
  A case of those foot warmers
  a underwater camera
  a trailer already plated
  a new scout cover as my scout cover was worn.
  she ordered 4 custom new Slick and stick .com ice rods custom built for me.
  She did this all on her own!  She got everything absolutely right too!
  She sent my LX-3 in for a check up and had it up graded to a LX-3tc
   This summer she let me buy a skeeter bass boat too!


  She is my snow angel and I hope I can figure out what she wants without asking.
  She is the best thing I still have period.  All the rest is just fun extra stuff to play with!
   

       Happy holidays!
  I have my wife for my XMass present thats all I really need. 27 years now to infinity we will walk hand in hand!
