How was everyones ice season this year?

Probably the worst year for me in a long time. The local lakes were almost impassible without a sled with all the snow/slush. I pulled my big house out to a lake on a Monday and pulled in home two days later just before a nasty blizzard and that is where it sat all year. Local fishing was just terrible. Went to LOW in early feb. and did awesome so that was the highlight of the season.

[wahoo]

Fished about 20 day straight in late December and January. Went to LOW in december and didn't do as well as we usually do in February. In the permanent house near Brainerd did Ok on NP and some sunnies. However, we ended up with a lot of other people near us which usually doesn't happen--so a lot more noise close to us.

Waiting for open water!!!

I didn't get out nearly as much as I wanted, but still had a good season. We only took our Grand Lodge out twice, otherwise it sat in the garage. Very glad we purchased it, I think next season we will get to use it much more. Highlight for us was going to Lake of the Woods for 3 days. We had a blast and will definetely be going back again. We are expecting our first baby the end of this summer, so I have been dealing with tons of morning sickness. Thats the main reason we didn't do much ice fishing this year. Hard to fish when your puking. That is okay, we've been waiting for this baby for awhile and are so excited. Next season will be better, because we'll have a little one to take with us.

This year was flat out enjoyable. Best fishing I have ever had. First off joining this site Dec. 2010, was one of the best things a fisherman can do. Everbody here is willing to help, friendly, and just plain curtious. Thanks to all of you for your tips.

I found out what customer service really is. Thank you Strikemaster, Clam, Vexilar, and Marcum. Never been around people who genuinely care about you as a customer, and stand behind there products.

Best fish this year, 15inch crappie, 10.25 bluegill. Caught my first Northern through the ice. (All caught and released) I can see why people go out and fish for these lake monsters. Lots of fun, gets the adrenlyline going that is for sure.

Sorry to see it end for the season, December will be here before you know it!
