Very nice fish! Like the way you had the rods alongside the fish to show scale size.

I know, I just found it interesting to share.

Does it work now?

My work provides me with 2 free 24's of beer per month!

The bigger (heavier) ones are ideal for deeper (40' or more) water.

I have a lot of ice experience, and I say stay off the ice this entire week-end coming. It's too warm out, whatever ice there was a few days ago has deteriorated.

And to think the Russians wanted to take over the world.

Pay close attention. This is what you do. If you want to be absolutely sure you wont break through the ice. Buy a long handled axe. Chop the ice as you are walking. A good swift chop. That should penetrate about 2-3 inches. As long as the axe doesn't go right through, proceed. When you swing the axe and it goes right through, stop. It is no longer safe to proceed. I was taught that by a dear friend of mine, awhile back. We kept going even when the tip of the axe went through and the water seeped up through the crack the axe made. But when he chopped and the axe went through easily, we turned around and went home. The next few days of cold was enough to freeze the river sufficiently to go safely. When you are fishing on 2" of ice, the water comes up slightly out and around your fishing hole as you approach it due to your weight. It is a bit unerving, but hey, you're the one that wants to go out fishing early in the season. Usually the fishing is quite good at first ice.

Hehh Ray, welcome back, you'se been gone awhile.

I beleive the 'mericans only use farenheit.

Actually, I made good use of a Strip-Loin Steak I had defrosted the day b4.

Be careful what you beleive. Remember the track record fer truth tellin' among fishermen.

Good goin' fellers!

I thought fer sure it was going to be a Snow Blower.

Don't worry it's a ...GATES!

I sense the the pull out bed is coming.

Ahh a mechanic!

First One. The second Dish

BOQ 1995 Rush Bar off Snake Island Rented Ice shanty Caught a cooked full rack of pork side ribs. Felt like a fish coming up.

Life is a series of choices we make. Enjoy yours.

I just got back from the No Frills, a mile away. I was one of two people in the entire store. Made it back, by pumping on and off the gas pedal. The side roads was a combo of keepin enough speed tempered with the right braking. My Winter Driving Course begins soon. Enroll Now.
