Im headed up to northern maine tomorow morning for "spring break" from school while everyone else is headed to the beaches im goin ice fishing, and i couldnt be happier
Taking the quad out this weekend and on monday, still lots of ice but its getting soft so the truck can stay on shore. Kinda sad ice fishing season is over but at least ive got soft water to pass the time.
I have figured out a way to prolong it. I have a old pontoon boat I am going to mount a permanent ice shack on the deck and cut holes through the floor. Why not? If anchored good it would be just like ice fishing only you net the fish through the hole. With a wood stove, fish in the cold, wind, rain, after dark, keep the mosquitoes out, who cares. Seriously I think I have talked myself into a new project for early and late season open water fishing.
I got news...,they got shacks down on the Wolf river toward Freemont, and had them for years. They are like ice shacks, but no holes. They float them along the banks for the walleye run. They rig the rods up with lights, like the ones on tip ups. Heaters inside, beer stays outside until needed.Years ago they used 55 gal. drums to float them. It's been a while since I lived down there so I don't know what they use today?
Having our annual last weekend hurrahh here in Saskatchewan. Lots of ice for quad's and some people are still driving out with vehicles. Our lake of choice this year (Barrier) still has 24" of good and 6" of frozen slush. Will post pic's should be good for a chuckle Tight Lines
Yea but I'm talking about fishing down through holes in the floor just like ice fishing with the LX-5 and all. Maybe even make removable wooden tunnel's that goes down through the hole all the way to the water, like 2'x2' square holes. And I never said that I was the the first one to ever think of it, just that I am going to do it!
