Making ice

[Mrs Boilerman]

I know we can't go ice fishing without ice, but when I got up this morning and saw all the frost on the windshield of my car, it just made me go, "Blucky!" Especially since I have no idea where my ice scraper is.

I guess I'll just have to keep muttering "Early ice crappies, early ice crappies" to remind myself this is a good thing. Can't make ice without cold weather!

Hubby pulled the fish house out already so we can make a few repairs and clean it out. It amazes me each year just how much weird stuff ends up in there by the end of the season. Some of the things I pull out of there are truly baffling.

Anyone else out there looking forward to the ice fishing season?

I will be ready for the ice season right after the next month is done on the lakes and rivers for the awesome fall bits that will go on.

Hitting a lake early in the am for eyes and panfish and then off to the river for the evening eye bite. I figure the crappie bite should go strong with the water temps cooling now.

Send Eric up and I will make sure he comes home with fish.
