Have you considered taking a picture of it with a digital camera? Then you could use photo editing software to produce the sections you want. End result is a digital copy that lasts forever.

Time to pack it in when the fish are "flash freezing". Other than that I'm good to go!

Life is too short to have to deal with the morons that don't respond appropriately in this weather - I just try to stay home on these days. Fishing related since I'm responding in the forum

At $20 the Pelican sleds are a fantastic deal.

Refreshing to read what needs to be said.

Long range forecast is calling for unseasonably warm weather NEXT weekend. I'm still defrosting over last Saturdays outing so will wait it out!

Yep, I use the same - just wish I had them on when selecting my ice fishing combo. While very warm they can be a bit bulky.

Glad to read things are looking up. My thoughts go out to your family.

Nice report. I like to bring my companion as well but gotta watch how long I stay out (it has to be cold for him just standing around). Like you I bring a blanked and if it's really cold his boots. Loved the autopsy..

WTG, beauty load of Perch you got there, especially the big ones on the top!

You'll find Sheephead in Frenchman's Bay but you'll have to put up with the odd small Smallie as well. Oh yeah, try from shore just past the canoe club and before private property by the channel.

Treasure the memories.

You got me to read this post through false pretenses!

Yeah! Maybe he went and got drunk AFTER realizing how many truck payments he had left!! :clapping:

Minus 100 boots seem a little overkill? I was wearing -40 rated boots on Saturday and only a couple of times felt the slightest bit cold. On the other hand the wife was wearing -60 rated boots and two pairs of socks and felt cold. Everyone is different I guess and fit is probably more important - if the boots are too tight and restrict circulation you WILL be cold.

A truck or two goes in EVERY year. Don't these guys read the forums??

Parking enforcement certainly don't miss an opportunity to tag, that's for sure. I have been up the last couple of days and the ice is better than 6" - I'd say 8" or more (or my auger is dull as h*ll). Most fish are being caught in the deeper areas. When you find them the action will be non-stop for a while. Lots of dinks but enough larger ones to have a nice meal. Good luck.

Good luck and let us know how you did.

Yeah, looks like it would be less drag flipped over (canoe style). Enjoy your new ride.

Very fair price! A friend of mine recounted a story of paying by the minnow and having the guy count each one! I've been trying without success to catch my own so am happy to pay the $5 or $6 for a scoop (and avoid those shops that charge by the minnow).

Crystal Lake in Zone 15?

Original and Cajun are the BEST! When out I have been know to used crushed BBQ chips. Making me hungry thinking about it.

The spirit of Christmas continues... what a great offer Cliff.

My experience is that the staff are more interested in talking to each other than serving customers. I go having done my research in advance and knowing what I want. Another thing, the hottest sales items are gone way too fast! (they don't do a great job of anticipating demand or use the item to draw people in to buy other higher price items). Either case - poor inventory management or bad sales ethics - not good. If I want service I'll go to LeBaron's and speak to one or two of the guys that I have got to know over the last few years. They take the time, make good recommendations and almost always have better pricing (although not the vast selection of BPS or the extended shopping hours). No one store is perfect..

You are going to love this camera once you get over the learning curve. The absolute best kit lenses around. Can't wait to see some of your future posts!
