They are couple of good ol boys that saved my sorry ass from certain destruction

I am getting anxious to try this ice fishing thing out... Went out to the local lake where I fished all summer and dang... it's frozen over... with evidence of people walking on it. I know most of the places where the water will only be 1-2 feet deep at the edges and also know where the drop off begins to the deeper water there as well. How do i "SAFELY" check the thickness of the ice. Note, the water is very slow with little to no current except in the very center of the lake ( 20-30 yards out. Thanks Splashhopper

yep.... I have been skunked so for for trout and it's one helluva long time till bass season opens So I am gonna try ice fishing since I keep seeing all the posts on here and can sense the pent up anticipation for it

yer right... i just couldn't come up with a catchy title ..

let me know.... I don;t think I will be on ice thicker than8-12 inches.... Local conservation areas to start I think

I think if I owned that dog... I would be out fished every time

Not sure I am gonna be "hooked" on ice fishin yet.... so i want to keep the costs to a the bare minimum this year.... slow season for work is winter time for me too

the drill? or the batteries?

fyi..... alot of use www.photobucket.com to upload pics here...

WTG Mike!!!! we expect BIG fish from you bro..... Maybe you will teach him a thing or two... how about a pool to see who catches the most weight and the proceeds go to the charity of the winners choice? are u up for it Mike?

I saw this mentioned on another board.... i know... this is the ONLY board,,, but hey... i was bored... I already own an 18 v lithium powered hand drill( 2 batteries) and wonder if adapting an auger would actually work. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks Splashhopper

Yepppp/// Mike is gonna be so pumped ! woooohoooooo

Okaaaay..... now I wanna try ice fishing.... Love your reports limey... keep em coming spalshhopper

WOOO HOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!! sTEVE,,, Mike is gonna kick yer butt! I think we should have some kind of contest on this outing..... and all proceeds go to the winners favorite charity.

who are ya fishing with... then I give a number

One day we'll all have to wear safety helmets to walk down the sidewalk. and what's wrong with that ? When I was drinking like a fiend.... a helmet would have come in real handy

welcome aboard

holy COW It's amazing something that big can come out of a hole that small.

I know when I owned a couple of retails shops in the past that I was inundated with supplier posters and banners .... they usually ended up in the garbage after a few weeks.
