the cold weather is here!
« on: Jan 18, 2012, 06:07 AM »
Well the cold weather is here for a few days. Hopefully that will really boost the ice thickness to give us a couple weeks of fishing. I spent about $1800 this year on ice fishing equipment so it would be really nice to try it all out.

Keeping the fingers crossed.......I didn't spend near that much but would like to try out my new plastics and tungsten jigs at least...
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land.  It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.  ~Chuck Clark

I told my wife I'm going to fit a full seasons worth of ice fishing into about 2 weeks.  Get out while you can.

I am still wondering where I put the stuff that came out of Frabill last year, lot of cecils missing in action.
