All I can say is I'm po'ed I didn't get out before the balmy temps and rain screwed it all up!! My wife needs a full time job so I can fish more..
HMMMMMMMMMM.........didnt I call you? LMAO!!!!!!
Fell through 20 years ago, by myself, late ice. In water 1 1/2 hours, rescued by a 17 year old who was poaching deer with his uncle. In hospital 3 days. More than lucky!Still ice fish a lot but don't push the package anymore.Everyone does what they does. We all make choices. Some good, some not!Tight lines all!
I think I read a more detailed account of your rescue a couple years ago. Strange how things [skipping school/poaching] happen to put that kid where he was needed, I wonder how that situation changed his life also. Good story with good endingPaul
Buddy is coming into town this weekend from Texas. I told him that I would get him out fishing. I told him we would either go ice fishing or steelhead fishing. There is no ice around to be found and now the river is blown out. Looks like we may be taking the paddle boat out to a lake . Come Sunday afternoon we may have a "Brave Souls Part 2"
LMAO............just make sure you dont post any pics with "whitecaps" in the background!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen netminder and Crappie Killer 54, I would assume that since you are on this site that you are ice fishermen. Every "ice head" understands that our sport has a danger factor. And every year the members here stress it. I cant speak for Blue, fastime, or RJ.......I was not with them. But I can speak for myself, I didnt just wake up Sunday morning and decide to go fishing. I had been checking my ice conditions for several days, and my 40 years of experience told me it was safe. All precautions were taken and talked about amongst the group. Part of me understands where you guys are coming from, but most of me doesnt like the negative comments.

I've given it a reprieve but with no ice, I'm going back to what puts em on the table. PM me if you want to hook your buddy up with the long rods!
