OK, my ice season here in SE PA ended recently. I know I won't be getting back out this year. But I keep coming here to see what everyone else is doing - even though I keep going to MFF too.

Why?

Am I trying to live through you guys up north?
Is it habbit?
Have I lost my mind?
Am I just avoiding doing work?

I know I'll be coming here in the middle of the summer probably - a couple of times a month. The nearest ice will be in my freezer, but I'll be here - even if I don't post.

Am I the only one?

It is an ADDICTION, and sadly

yes, I suffer from it to. But do not worry. Head to www.myfishfinder.com This will ease the withdrawl.

It's OK. The first step in recovery is admiting you have a problem. We are all here to help you.

For me, checking this site during the summer will keep the ice fishing spirt alive.
Is it Dec. yet?

A couple times a month

I was on here almost everyday all last summer. I would post at least two or three times a week, IS never truly dies.

i usually stick to one site during the season but when it gets closer to the changing of hardwater to openwater or vise versa i usually bounce back between the two until im well into the season then stay with one site

My name's Tom, and I'm an ice shanty/ice fishingaholic.
(response....HI TOM!!!)

I have a problem, and this place is my only solution (other than being on the ice)

Welcome to ice fishing anonymous. There is no 12 step program for us, we're here and that's it!!!! Luckily, your addiction is a sport and not crack!!!! Don't forget, you have a support group that has the same addiction you do! Tight lines!!

Thanks for the uplifting message Jenk - I'm looking for a sponsor.

My wife's Christmas presant is still being fixed she has stated no more ice till she gets her bracelet looks like I must step in come Monday.

MFF is just as bad in the winter. I'm here every day in the winter and also at MFF???

Maybe I should just quit my work.

"Honey, I decided to quit working. I'm going to spend every day fishing/ice fishing and reading about fishing/ice fishing on line. Please arrange to have someone come in and shovel snow, mow grass, etc. because I'll be way to busy to do it. Also, can you bring me my meals onto the ice/boat/shoreline? I don't want to leave a hot spot. Bring beer too."

"Get out"

"Can I take my gear?"

BASSandICE65 · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 18, 2007, 05:18 PM »

Yep your crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just kidding please we all keep coming back this is a great website with good folks who make it interesting and fun

Enjoy the site and always remember.........

Take the time...
Before time takes you...

I have seen some great friends pass away before their time and my trout club has this saying posted above our lost friends/members.

We are all GOD'S children whether you believe in him/her/it or not.

But remember what is after this to look forward to?

Gotta be something better for us icefishermen.

Up there somewhere, there must be a bunch of guys drilling holes in the clouds. The bite is always hot, the beer is always cold and the company is always interesting!!!!

Once it's in your blood you can't get the ice out. Come August I'll be wishin' I was on the ice freezing.

Mainedog · « **Reply #24 on:** Mar 31, 2007, 10:00 PM »

I think you true IS diehards should start a thread that all of us fellow ice fishers can check into all summer long.

Hello, My name is Bill. I fished more this year on the ice that I have in all years past, and still didn't get enough. I was trying right up until that last slushy time out on the lake, that time the access road was deep rutted mud and goo, that time when the sleds overheated because they are fan cooled instead of liquid cooled. I ran out of bait and had to beg some off a local. My heavy shack got mired in slush and I ripped the tow hitch off my sled. I spent 9 consecutive weekends at camp out of the last 12 weeks (I drive 6.5 hrs one-way to camp!). I had one frozen pipe earlier this year, and was cutting copper and sweating a few joints at 3 am one trip! I think I have a problem.

Just look at the users when you log in to see just how much company you actually get. Lots!
