First Ice For Me This Weekend!!!!

[Wishin2BFishin]

Well I've been waiting for the ice to form and here in Ma. it's been very cold for over a week. The ice has started to cover most of the inner harbors around Boston and that's saltwater so I should be all set to go tomorrow. Got my ice fishing sled in the garage last night and checked all of my tipups. I've got to find a way to keep those mice out of my sled! Getting tired of having to empty the sled and wash all of my stuff before I can do any fishin! Just have to get the auger in tonight and lube it up and give it a test run. Hope to post a good fish story next week! Mr. Bucketmouth Bass is calling me!!! Wish me some good luck!!!

Good Luck, about the mice, try drier sheets, like bounce or something of the nature. I had a nest under my kitchen sink. i cleaned it out fixed the hole and while fixing the hole added drier sheets and steel wool. they wont chew thru the steel wool and dont like the smell of the drier sheets. glad to report no more mice. Good luck.

Hey... Good luck out of the ice. Play it safe, Took awhile for ice too form here in southern minnesota this season, but it is here and it stayed cold for awhile now. Have around 27 to 28 inches of ice on the lakes in the area...
