great first day on the ice
« on: Jan 03, 2013, 01:24 PM »
Made it out today on a lake in the daks. 6 inches of good ice and a couple of inches of crust and slush. Caught 8 perch 1 northern 3 pickerel and 1 largemouth. Cold as a witches youknow what but the shanty was warm and smelled like venison all day. Got to use my new tipups I made and they worked great. Can't wait for champlain and the king to freeze.

Awesome! Hoping to get out this weekend. Have a few ponds that friends own so hoping that ice is thick enough!

It's not that fishing is so important, it's just that so many things in life are so much less important
