GOOD OLD DAYS? I'm 61 and loving all this new stuff!
I have been ice fishing for some time now. I remember as a kid we didn't have an auger. Dad would use a spud bar to chop the holes. Now I have 2 augers for different types of fishing. we never heard of flashers, now most of us have some form of one. A tipup was a tipup, and now we have 50 different types. How much gear do you have that you didn't have 5 years ago. isn't it crazy what we will spend money on? I think 1 time this year we should all go fishing like we did 10 years ago and see how we do. that is a challange to everyone here. Let's have a gathering and see how this works out.
Why would I want to go backwards in life,I'm 62 you were a twinkle in your Dad eye when I was Ice Fishing,and I don't have fond memories of it.Going to the lake plowing Thur 3 feet of snow then shoveling out holes so we could spud them freezing my &ss off Boy that was fun, for some fish maybe?? the winters were a lot colder and we always had snow not like today.I don't know about the rest of you I Welcome the technology of today,The clothing is warmer and safer the gear today make it more enjoyable for everyone.Its nice to remember the old days but for me I like today.I think a gathering is a great idea but let have it a day after we get 2 feet of snow and lets see How many show up???.I have all gotten a little soft in my Old age and why not If I can make my life a little easier I will that the person I have become,and I think a lot of us are the same way.Your comparing Apples and Oranges,In my humble opinion.I would love to see a guy like Porter spud 30 to 40 holes It aint going to happen brother, but if you want to do it be my guest I'm not at this stage of my life I really enjoy easy.
