[Hunter Trav]

It said 8 degees on my garden thermometer this am.
New marcums are coming...New augers are coming...gonna be a great hard water season.
My new frabill snosuit arrived last week....that was a let down. I'll be staying with my Mustang telly tubby floater suit

[Mike_W]

You guys are crazy ....I like getting out ice fishing too but really it dont compare to fishing in shorts get out and enjoy the open water and chicks with minimal clothing!!!!

Yeah how often do you get out with scantily clothed women when you go fishing???

[npauls]

Where did the boat go Chubb?

I am also looking forward to the hard water season. This open water season has been a write off for me and I am hoping that by the time the hardwater is here I will be all healed up and ready to punch some holes and play a lot of hockey.

What didn't you like about the frabil suit? I was thinking about getting something other then my Arctic Armour since I found out this summer that it isn't water proof like the say on their site. I was thinking about getting a suit that is good as a nice warm ice fishing suit but also will work good on those days when I am out on the boat and get poured on. I think I may just try to find a good rain suit on sale in late fall to buy for cheap and keep the AA suit for the winter since I have it and it works good in the cold.

[jpietrzak1979]

Keeping in mind that winter will kill this unholy plague of mosquitoes I am in 110% agreement. Bring it on.

[Teamprotz]

Split the difference . . . . Drill a hole in your boat. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

[iliketrout]

Yup, I'm looking forward to another 6 months of hard water.:sHa_shakeshout:

[HunterDave]

Come on Winter,come fast,come hard and stay for a LONG time. Summer Sucks

This summer definitely sucks......RAIN! I've only had the speed boat out one weekend and my fishing boat hasn't been out yet! I'd like to have summer finally arrive but if it's not going to get here I'd rather have snow over rain/lousy weather.

[mikeo2]

Cant freakin wait, I love ice fishing and work is slower in the winter so I can actually get out and do some fishing

[FishBrain]

I have been thinking the same thing since June. Summer sucks.

[Hunter Trav]

If you plan it right, you can get 7 months worth, like I did...:sHa_shakeshout:

[0liver]

I here you chubb, I can't wait to get some flat ***** bucket syndrome n one heck of a kink in my neck....

all worth some delicious hump back whites though!
see ya'll out at Pidgeon when the time finally comes :sign0111:


*edit*
Open water ain't even worth it till late September anyways...

[BeeGuy]

It's July man, what gives.

When's ice-up? Mid-November?

[chubbdarter]

Just had a long nap......I was having thanks giving on the ice

[WayneChristie]

[Alberta Bigbore]

I hope come September.... An inch of snow falls every night.........until December 15th......... and bounces between -15 and -20. No more no less


Bring on hunting season !

But i love your icefishing adventure stories and pictures.
The frozen hillbilly pic is epic

[Ken07AOVette]

I hope come December.... 6 inches of snow falls every weekend.........until March 15th......... and bounces between -5 and -9.


Bring on hunting season !

Fixed for you.

I have a brand new snow plow, and I want it to pay for itself this winter

[slivers86]

Chubb, I'll supply the hookers and blow, if you take me ice fishing? :sHa_shakeshout: on real notes, i'm terribly excited to go ice fishing this winter :)

Only about a month until the goose opener. Got a new call on the way and a couple more dozen Real Geese deeks to pick up. Going to Calgary this weekend to drift the Bow for a couple of days, and hopefully we get some nice weather for the rest of August/September to do some more lake fishing.

I like ice fishing too but I can quite easily wait until Nov/Dec for that.

[KegRiver]

Give me one good frost and two months without leaves and I'll be wishing for summer again.

I am so not looking forward to plowing snow for another winter.

Three more years and I'll be eligible for a pension, then I'll look forward to winter again.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind plowing snow, when my back doesn't ache and my eyesight isn't blurred. I know, I need glasses. I did get a pair a few years back, but they disappeared in less then a month.
I can't afford to buy 700.00 glasses every couple of months.

Get those cheap reading ones at Walmart. I left my good progressive ones at the trailer this weekend so I had to build a deck yesterday with my cheap reading ones. Don't ask me how the deck turned out though..........I haven't seen it yet. :lol:

But seriously, I figured that I'd see well up close and farther away would be blurry but my eyes are now bad enough that I can see farther distances better with those el cheapos on. :)

[Mike_W]

A couple time a year but I was refering to summer in general!!!:snapoutofit:

o.k. you should have a lot of offers for ice fishing! lmao.

c,mon guys a lawn chair & rod are a heck of a lot
easier than. ice fishing tent,heater,propane bottle,gas auger,
5 gal pail,tip-ups, ski-doo suits,etc.
i think my arms are 2" longer after winter ice fishing.lol
besides the fact that last years ice fishing sucked big time!

orv.

Ice season brings peace
No constant fumes
No waiting for 2 hours for a guy to back up his boat/trailer down a 15 foot ramp
No waiting for 2 hours for a guy to back up his trailer down a 15 foot ramp
No waiting for 2 hours for a guy to get his boat on his trailer.
No waiting for 2 hours for a guy to figure out a ratchet strap while still on ramp.
I honestly believe thats why God made summer days long...he foresaw the launch issues
No bugs
Days are short, easier to hit the feed.
Having another icefisherman drill next to you is upsetting but not as bad as a boat fisherman pull up to your marker bouy 25 feet from you and he honestly thinks he found a floating treasure.
I dont mind helping ive yanked out maybe 2-3 stuck icefisherman in my life but this year ive towed in 5 dead in the water boats......p.s. people Newell and travers is not a sensible place to try out your unproven boat!!!!!!!!!!!!
The list goes on and on but i will stop.
Old man rant over

[tacklerunner]

I miss the ice too. It's not as slippery as the rocks. :scared0015:

Yeah I was just messin' with ya, but seriously, there is never scantily clad women anywhere near my good fishin' spots, and you look like a perv trolling up and down in front of the beach with bino's glued to your face...

[Daceminnow]

i concur. bring on the hard water and all the big fish that come with it. i hate the heat.

I hope come September.... An inch of snow falls every night.........until December 15th......... and bounces between -15 and -20. No more no less


Bring on hunting season !

[chubbdarter]

After today....who still loves summer?
Started out at first light.....by 10am heat was stupid....by 11 it was stupid unbearable.....by 11:30 it was bearable in the air conditioned truck.........Hurry Up Winter!!!!!

So hot the eyes on ice cooked

[WayneChristie]

sitting on the treeless shore, sun beating down, breeze cooling things off, fish biting, yah I still loves summer! corn has grown almost 2 feet in the last week, eyes are rising like popcorn in a cheap theater, yup I love summer, still love drilling holes in the water and looking down on toothy critters crusing under my feet, but I can wait.

Gonna wear my bikini

[Ken07AOVette]

If the earth flopped on it's axis and we got year round Hawaii weather I would be a very happy camper.

Winter sucks.

[WayneChristie]

Gonna wear my bikini

oh come on, thats a thought almost on par with BBJ in his camo thong, now the nightmares are going to start all over again!!!:scared:

[Tyangelo]

My favorite pro about hardwater is the cost. Auger and truck gas vs truck and boat gas wins every time.
