Our lakes are giant, but rather than figuring out their own spots people would rather follow my snowmachine track to my holes and fish exactly where I like to fish. One thing soft-water has going for it is doesn't leave evidence.Speaking of evidence, I also hate finding people's garbage on the ice.
When the beer freezes and gets to be more slush than beer. How am I supposed to pound that beer in one gulp when it's half slush? Then I end up going for the whiskey a lot sooner than I should in the day. It's a vicious cycle.
🤣 How about something in between beer and whiskey...like schnapps 🤔
I hate finding a grid of set-lines sitting right on top of my favorite jigging spot.

I just move off to the next spot, first come first served , if you share a good spot that you found , why wouldn’t they set on it ,there is a word for this behavior
I'm usually pretty quick to be on first ice however my pain is this. I walk out with a life vest on chisel and stop check every few feet have ice cleats on and ice picks in case of a breakthrough get out there start to fish never fails every year some clown comes out no chisel, picks or life vest, tennis shoes on scoots along out to me and asks how thick the ice is I always reply well when you came out the water was moving up and down my hole about 2.5 inches of ice. I fish alone a lot after that comment I try to be safe if i'm going out there but to not even be prepared is beyond me.
As much as I dislike dealing with slush covered ice, I'm going with the sudden finding of a snow covered 10" augered hole with my size 9 boot...
