I grew up where the ice gets thick enough to drive a tractor trailer on it and I ice fished. I moved south where the ice won't hold up a slung cat. I tend not to do regular fishing anymore if its below 60 degrees out. Am I soft, or did I just gain plain common sense? Am going with soft....been ice fishing 5 Saturday’s in a Row....and 3 of those were Ice Fishing Derby’s....with another Derby this weekend. Something about a Flag popping ....that Nevah gets old for me. And I ain’t getting any younger (62) ...figured I’d give it heck ,while I feel good ! Drinking Beer and Ice Fishing ...cooking on the grill and playing beer shoes.....makes me happy !

too much snow here ,to much slush and water on top of ice ,even hard to get around with snowmobile I heard that about some northern MN lakes; fishing is impossible due to the large amounts of snow. Thing a lot of people don't realize is the average snowmobile isn't made to go through deep snow and can easily get stuck.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

Its supposed to be 50 degrees out tomorrow. I have some time to kill. Maybe I will tough it out and fish off the bank of my favorite honey hole. I'll leave the truck running in case I get cold...

I hope that by indicting that, " I’ll have a beer for you 52Carl", you mean that you will drink a beer in my absence. You are still talking 20-30 degrees too cold, given recent declaration of me going soft. Where them out for me, all the same.
