Well, we have all been waiting for ice for way too long this winter, but I have to admit that I may have learned more this year than I have in a long time. Usually I would have been out on the ice, fishing the same lakes, using the same methods that I have always used, but since I couldn't do that I have spent much more time on this site. I have read pages and pages of information on equipment, methods, recipes, etc... and i have even made a few new friends whom I probably would never have "met" if it weren't for the amount of time I have been able to spend sitting at the computer instead of on the ice.
Now that we are on the brink of having safe ice to fish on........FINALLY, it will probably take me the rest of the season to try all the new techniques that I have read about and maybe try a couple of new lakes. I look forward to meeting you out on the ice and offering you some venison hot off the grill.
