bingo...thats how we did it a couple of weeks ago. Took us about 45 minutes to go about 150 feet to open water. Ice was around 1.25" thick at that time. After chucking the anchor 45 minutes my buddy was too tired to fish but it worked out well for me (except the smashed tail light from backing in)
I truly fish like a madman in the summer, don't stop to eat, drink, nothing...but come winter, if I can't just sit there and stare at 2 orange flags while doing absolutely nothing I ain't going
winterized it for the second time this past Saturday. Thank goodness musky is closed or it would be MIGHTY tempting to haul the tarps back off, get it off the blocks etc etc yet another time
you have low standards . A possum is like a giant rat but twice as ugly and 3 times as mean. If you have found a gentle one you're lucky...most will fight back when cornered...that's when they meet Mr 9 iron
