FINALLY going out! (SE IOWA)
« on: Jan 20, 2012, 01:34 PM »
we FINALLY have ice!  I am headed to my pond within the hour.   4-6 inch ice as of yesterday.  sub zero night should ensure good ice.
Gonna make a Waxie run and setup the new Fatfish 949!     I've been waiting a LONG time for this! :) :icefish:

Well......
Well,  as everyone, I am going nuts, dying to fish...
I take the afternoon all pumped up to fish.
I start setup, and 2 of the hubs break out!!  Seriously?  Can this really be happening?
All this buildup , now this!
I call Scheels and tell the guy "I don't know whether to laugh,cry or scream.."
He said come in and swap for a new one.  No receipt required.
I can't complain about their service.  He said that the flatfish has really held up well and is much better than the clam. 
It stinks that I was an exception.  But..all is good.  They took care of it!
Got back.  Set up in the dark.  Fished 4 hours, warm as toast.  Flatfish was an easy setup, even in the dark.  TONS of room!
Action was poor...we got two tiny gillies....
but hey,   WE WERE ICEFISHING!!!!!!
5+ inches of good ice!
Headed out at first light.
Gonna be a great day!

You're wasting time! the fish are biting now!!! ;)

Let us know how it goes today.
Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day, give him a religion and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish... author unknown

SE Iowa, huh. This week has been nice and cold but yesterdays snowfall worries me. Maybe 4 inches of ice with 5-6 inches of snow on top. I am ready to get out, too. Been dying to try out my newly built Smitty Sled. Imagine that. Dying to go ice fishing just so I can pull my new sled. What about fishing? That too.
