AJ you should know better.

Alcohol will actually lower your body temp out there on the ice.

If your going to drink, make it worthwhile. Rum, cognac, scotch, brandy........and so on!

for me unfortunately its good bye fishing season so far for the entire year and most likely most of the ice season due to unforeseen circumstances.

I pretty much just for walleye, when ice fishing. Slow poke jig, System Flyer,
Rattle Spoon and Chubby/Lindy Darter, all suspended under a wave buster float.

Suppose to be -4 or -5 next week, if the snow stays away for a bit could be some good early ice this year, the last couple years the heavy early snow sure screwed up the ice with flood water.
