Gonna jump in on this to follow...I probably won't be able to get on any ice this coming season, so I'll be looking forward to reading about all of the adventures from all of you.

Modelo Negra is pretty tasty too!

With that many kids there's no food left for him to eat...so he stays thin.

Dave, if you ever want someone to go to deer camp all you gotta do is holler. By the way I went to culinary school.

Dave...same message...hunting solo myself until the weekend once my kid doesn't have school to worry about...I didn't go to school to cook, but I'm pretty sure my grub won't kill you.

At the risk of angering the ice gods, I upgraded my rod storage. No more tangled lines by carrying them in a 5 gal bucket!

I have a similar rod case...never use it on the ice...just to store rods out of season...maybe took it on the ice once...5-gallon bucket for me, but I'm very particular on how I store stuff, so not many tangled lines.

Your case does look much deeper than mine...maybe if I had that one I'd use it more?

Don't worry about angering the ice gods...I look at it as honoring them...you're telling them to bring it on!!!!

Good hard ice here...doubt the fishing is any good though...think I might get in trouble drilling holes?

A few small perch and apparently the catfish bite was fire today. I couldn’t keep them off my line, had a lot of fun. Hope everyone is enjoying this season. View attachment 482047

Anybody have a need for a float coat? Size Large, although it is realistically more like an adult small. It was my dad's and he asked that I give it a new home since he can't get out anymore. I get a some pix later and more details. Probably will be easier to meet up with someone on the ice.

Saw this...golden crappie...pretty interesting...

Ice fisherman lands 'extremely rare' golden crappie

It's only the beginning of March...still plenty of time to for more snow.

 

[Lil' Rob]

She could probably talk a lot of us into a lot of stuff

 

[Lil' Rob]

ladder stabilizers

How much clearance did those get you?

 

[Lil' Rob]

Nice. I looked up some of those, not cheap once you buy two of them.

Got a set of skiis from Goodwill the other day, so looking to get a smitty built...was hoping to scrounge up something light-weight instead of using 2x6's 2x4's for the stanchions and cross pieces.

We'll see what I can find...thanks.

Maby @fishwithsons can send you some pics of his. He used uni strut and it turned out really good too. Seen some guys building theirs out of electrical conduit as well.

I have been considering strut as well...have plenty of small pieces and hardware...would just have to buy a stick for my cross pieces.

Need some help with that Four Roses

 

[Lil' Rob]

What an awesome Christmas bonus to get out on the ice!!!! Almost feel surreal!!!! If i dont catch anything im fine with it!!! Just feels great to be on the hardwater. Ps. Watch getting your fingers stuck in your hubs. Doesnt feel good. I guess i got free chum for the water though View attachment 501628

Sorry for the safety post, but it still amazes me the amount of people who either don’t own a spud or just don’t use one! I watched three groups blindly walk out. One of the groups walked right across some stuff that was just froze over a day and half ago. I’m sorry call me a *** but l would find it real tough risking my own life in front of my daughter to go save a moron! We couldn’t walk a direct route out to our spot because of weak spots. We just took our time and i spudded away. I’ve taught my daughter it’s not a race to get out there and getting back safe is better than catching a ton any day. I bet she knows more how to be safe at 9 then a lot of the so called professionals no spud folk out there. Ok I’m done lol

You're a good dad!

I seen the first few days of February are looking great, then the 7th 8th are back in the 40s, can Ohio weather get any more miserable??

Watch what you ask for!
