Wow, that's a lot of stuff!! Did you make the tear drops jigs? If not, I am sure that's the next step lol!

 

Check out these home made jigs. Many are easy (and fun) to do and can turn out really well!

I picked up the AP Outdoors Xtreme Ice XI3 3-4 person popup hut (Thanks for that post Cosmos!).

 

I think I am going to order a new sled as well. I like this one from Cabelas. It's on sale and I have some "Cabelas Bucks", so even with the expensive shipping it's not too much.

 

Considered the Aqua-Vu Micro Underwater Camera, but that will probably have to wait. More of a toy for me really.

 

The only other tackle I might purchase are some of the new Rapala/Blue Fox Nomad Jigging Spoons. I really like the Nils Master Hali Jigs and want to test these ones out.

 

Looking forward to hard water!!!!!!!

I picked up 3 new Rapala R-Type ice rods, a few spools of the new 832 sufix ice braid and a sack full of different spoons, jigs and flouro from my buddy at Normark. Oh, I also got a new puppy to keep the little lady occupied. hahaha Other then these things, I'm all ready to go. All we need now is some cold weather and no wind to freeze up Lady Simcoe!

All this jigging stuff!

 

I'll use about 30 Octopus hooks in chartruse. 4-5 dozen split shots, probably 30 dozen emerald shiners or more and my trusty "door stop" style tip-ups. I'll only jig occasionally from inside my nice warm shack.

 

 

Gonna try some of the salted smelt that we caught this year. Looking for a 40" northern this winter.

 

 

I am a lazy fisherman. I use my Jiffy 3hp gas auger and drive right to the shack.

i didnt make the jigs but got a steal of a deal on them i couldnt say no

[uglyfish]

Only thing I need is a gas auger! My shoulders just can't handle a manual auger anymore. Couple holes and I'm ready to cry, and I like to drill several holes. Hoping to wife gets that as an xmas gift. Other then that, ill grab some new rods, reels, line, jigs and tackle. Jigs and tackle is a given, don't NEED the new rods, but I could use a couple more.

 

And going to sell my hut and get one a bit bigger for comfort, with me and the wife in it, plus the heater, camera, flasher, bait bucket... Lol, room is at a premium. Wanna make things a bit roomier and comfy in there.

I need some new blades for my Strike Master gas auger and a new sled to pull behind the snowmobile.

[Aaron Shirley]

I'm hoping to find one of these under my Christmas tree: Frabill Trekker Shuttle

 

Other than that, I'll need to pick up a few jigging raps and some spoons... and maybe a dog sled
