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 !

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.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Am going with soft....!

Fair enough, Nessy.
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 wish it was. That’s why a tear is shed every time a pike bites one off.

They are pretty jigs, I must admit. You need to use what they will bite.
Its one thing to not catch any fish on a summer day, when you can just claim blind bad luck.
Its quite another to sit in a shanty on the ice in shallow water and watch slabs swim up to your cheap walmart offerings and turn up their noses.

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. smile
Where them out for me, all the same.
