I think we should push for a tournament. If not create one ourselves, im sure the fine people of this board wouldnt care.

the only ice i want is in my teaseriously though ,i do miss ice fishing from many years ago but i'm too old now and i live in Florida so i'll be happy reading your fish tales..

I can't wait. What a great time of year with hunting starting up then hard ice from about mid Dec to April here. I ice fish commercially almost every day in the winter for perch, gills and crappie. We pull them all winter here on Champlain.

I love ice fishing, but with my knee messed up??I will be planning on having the work done to it by the end of January. So hopefully by the end of MarchI will get a couple of good weeks in.

Ice fishing being fun and all I would much rather be fishing on a 70 degree fall afternoon then the dead of winter anyday

What do you have to get done Phil?

I will be having it scoped and cleaned up. Arthuritis, bone spurs and bone splinters all will be getting removed. I have been putting it off and currently trying to put it off until after hunting season and hopefully Christmass. So I figured around the end of Janurary would be better if I can get by that long. During the scope they will know if i need anything else, I hope not as the doc says I will be tied up fro 6 to 8 weeks..

How big are those pieces of ice you guys catch?I'll take sunny Florida and bikinis on the beach any day!

Dont get me wrong bikini's are nice but when you hook into a 40+ inch pike threw the ice its better then watching girls in bikin's cause at least you can touch this eye candy without gettin arrested............did i just say touching a pike is better then watchin a girl in a bikini[&:] oh man intervention time


Phew that was close... much better now

Ice fishing and hunting are hands down my 2 favorite activities but if you would rather do that then hang out with a girl like the one pictured you are nuts. Think you need to stay off the ice this year and have your head examined!
