I hear ya....I snuck out for a couple of hours this afternoon and holy crap.....did I mention I hate wind???.....the wind was howling across the lake, I even had my truck trying to block the wind, but no go. Even the Buddy cranked to high was barely enough to keep the ice off the lines, didn't help that there was no snow to pack her in. Managed 2 perch....
Still a great afternoon on the ice....did I mention I hate wind?
