Hey guys, can you give me the info of using dead bait in Vermont? Do I still need a recipt for it?

CJiceaddict · « **Reply #4 on:** Oct 27, 2009, 02:28 PM »

Can't wait. Already planning an early march trip to champlain for pike. Thinkin about maybe doing some road trips there this year as well. Would also like to look into some other VT pike waters this year. Did Champlain and Deweys as well as the river last year. Hopefully this year will be more. Last year I was on the ice 3rd week of november, we can only hope!

I have not seen the new regs yet, check out the VT Website. I think the only thing they are changing is how long the receipt is good for.

Ya now that salmon fishing is done, im getting the ice fishing itch. usually set the shanty for the season but this year im converting a boat trailer to haul my little shanty to stay mobile... can wait for my fingers to freeze, snot clinging to the end of my nose, and my beer to NOT freeze...

VTtrophychaser · « **Reply #7 on:** Oct 29, 2009, 02:58 PM »

Definitely getting the itch here as well. Time to get up at O-dark-thirty and go out and put the work in. Travel all over the state. Drink some beers. sounds like a good time to me.

natep24 · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 02, 2009, 12:49 PM »

yep cant wait i have a severe case of "jigging-itis"...

just finishing up my new shanty

pursuit · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 02, 2009, 01:01 PM »

yep nights getting colder, days getting shorter, getting closer by the minute. Had ice on the puddles the other morning. Can't wait to drag some eyes through the hole.

The other night grabbed a few beers & went out to the shanty, cranked up the tunes, set up a couple jacks on the lawn & waited. Guys in white suits showed up ( I think the neighbor called em). Funny thing though, they are both ice fisherman.

They ended up takeing the neighbor away

I dont care who you are thats funny right there!!!!

gould · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 05, 2009, 05:32 PM »

That is funny. I think I am going to have my fishing gear all worn out by the time the ice gets hear

I am even waking up in the night seeing flags thats just not write. They should have a pill or something for us they do for every thing else.

natep24 · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 06, 2009, 08:45 AM »

I am so glad to see that i am not the onlyone that has these dreams....

I can't wait either. Although, there's a deer to be shot yet

. I got a new fishin buddy this past May, but it might be a couple years before he's on the ice--mama didn't like the idea of her infant icefishing. I expect I won't be going out as much this year as in years past

The receipt is ONLY for transportation of the bait from the shop to the water within a 96 hour period. Once it's on the body of water it may not leave and must either be stored there (live or dead) or killed and discarded on the ice or in the water.

Little Brown Dog · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 23, 2009, 06:41 AM »

Just checking in. Still need to get a deer before digging out my fishing gear. I do have a few moose steaks for the ice though.

Salmon fishing is just starting to "take off". No way is it done. Not on Champlain anyways!

Little Brown Dog · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 04:03 PM »

So I got a deer with the ol smokepole, the little lake has froze over, so why does my wife expect me to be home this weekend after two months of hunting? Guess I need to wake up early and sneek out Saturday morning.

dinosaur454 · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 05:27 PM »

I'll be scouting the "inland lakes" this coming weekend. Will report my findings Saturday after I get back.
