how many of you get that feeling like your girlfrind just dumped you when you have to pull your shanty or have to quit for the year?? there is a big rain storm comming so i pulled my shack off and am really bumed..

Your in MN and you're done ice fishing after the first week in Feb.? Didn't realize you folks had such tropical weather Dump the permanent shack (anchor) and get a portable

[pirkaus]

Mobility is the key

[Nozzlejocky]

The warmer weather should allow for some really nice days of sitting outside the shack.  Keep it positive and enjoy the days!

[mealworm]

a little rain would be nice in northern ny it would melt some of the snow some places snows still knee deep or more

[Tainterslayer]

I hear you man, I am nervous about this warm weather too. I don't think its going to keep up though.

[Lobes]

Put on your waders, fish the shallows, then if you break through, you don't have to care!

Yes that is exactly how it feels, being dumped. Here in Wyoming though our resivors and lakes are slowly one by one being drained because of the drought. So it is like they always say things can always be worse.

Sounds like the time for my ATV and Frabill XLT.

Same here... we had a excellent day ice fishing yesterday, probably the best so far this year, but we are having a darn near a week of 50 degree weather and I needed water skies on my sled instead of snow skies and probably won't get out again until we have some really cold nights/days. I hope we get chilled down fast!! I too want winter to stay around for awhile. Smitty

i got up at 5 dis morning and saw that it was still 50 degrees out and just went back to bed.

Northern Indiana can be tough.  I had one year like this and I got pretty wet getting my 5x8 shanty off the ice which was about 15 ft from shore.  It had rained about 6 inches in a few days and 50+ degrees.  Good thing I got it off and didn't wait for a freeze back because it just got worse.  Feb 15th you've got to pull them off daily here.  Doesn't look good for next weekend here but we'll just wait and see as the edges will probably go if we get the rain the next couple days.
