I know it hit 90 degrees last week, but.....let's talk some ice fishin!

[blood trail]

Just thought I would get it started. Summer is too long!

I'm prayin for the lakes to start locking up soooon.

90 degree days make me think of ice all the more(not a summer person). If it stayed spring or fall for 3 seasons, that would be fine with me.

Bring on the ice and get rid of this hot crap.

I'd say I'm in the same boat...but I hardly ever fish out of one.

I lost one of my favorite little crappie lakes to a winter kill 2 seasons ago. I took the canoe out to the other day though, and I think it might make a bit of a come back this winter. Keepin my fingers crossed.

If the ice cubes in your drinks are big enough to spud a 10 inch whole threw and drop a jig in....you might be a redneck

Me to. I like to go outside and NOT get attacked by mosquitoes and deerflys. There are no Mosquitoes or deerflys in ice fishing but then again there are some good things about summer. Scantly clad women, Tigers baseball and scantly clad women. Thats about the only three things that I can think of.

Oh yeah, I dont have to cut the grass in the winter, I have more time to fish.

Bring on some more 90+ days but early ice.

Now that is a great post! I have lived for ice fishing and have caught many fish that way but I can no longer get on the ice without help. The bugs are a major pain this time of year especially when I have to swat them with my cane.

If you can make it down to LSC, I'd help you out. I fish mostly canals for gills. A very short walk most days.

I would be glad to go out with you and lend a hand! You wont even need to bring any gear. Just come out and enjoy yourself!

You might have to clean your own fish though

I noticed your in Northern MI...I have a small group of guy's that get together every year and set tip-ups and do some jigging for pike on Fletcher's. Allway's a good time!!! The fish have been running a bit small the last couple of years and even a little slower than in years past. Last year we got the trip planned a little to late IMO and the bite was a bit slow. We still got on about 10-12 a day, but most were either just under or barely leagal. If your near there and interested give me a pm and I will get back with you.

I guess it's too early for most of us to think about hitting the hardwater ehh?

[ficious]

I've heard that some people stop thinking about it, but I'm sure I don't know any of them.

Ya, it's ussually a toss up for me between ice fishing and deer hunting. I can't stop thinking about either of them all year long!!!!

I still need to get on the ball here and get some of your jigs in my box's.
From what I've seen on here and your site...I like them!!!

We have a Meijer Thrifty Outlet on the NW of Grand Rapids. After all the stuff has been in the store on clearance for awhile, they ship it off there. I found ice jigs, 5 and 10 in package for 75 cents. Just thought I'd drop that line if anyone was in the area.
