New Idea, this may come in handy

[riverrat56]

Ok here is an idea for you, how about we start a thread were we can all post were all of our icefishing stuff is and next year around the end of Nov. we can dig this up and not have to search for all of our equipment.

Riverrats not lost yet items to remeber....

Marcum charger is in with underwater camera which is in the basement

auger is behind the fish house

shelter tag is in side pocket of icefishing tackle box

ice rods are in the rafters behind the 5 gallon buckets

tip ups are on the back garage shelf

ice auger gas can is being used for the mower

and finally the ice cleats are in with the tip ups

Just thought this would be a place that everyone visits and we can use this to help ourselves out when the lakes get hard again.

PERFECT!! Now when I break into your house I have a road map to the goodies!!!! Thanks

Kind of like a writing down a recipe and then being able to dig it out later in the year.....not a bad idea

For me I pretty much pack up all my ice gear into my fishtrap and store at the parents place. I put my buddy heater, extra set of ice cleats, jiggin' raps and spoons tackle box, scoopers and all my ice rods into the trap. I throw the cover on it and I'm done.

Auger goes along with it and sits right next to it on the ground.

I keep the auger gas on the shelf in the garage.

As soon as there is fishable ice, I pull the cover off, put a leave a few things in the garage, pack it in the truck and I'm off fishing!!

might be a good idea but what excuse would I use to but new rods and such if I found all my equipment right away?

[Captain B.R.K]

I hear ya there mltjanderson!

But just think of the extra $$ you could save to put toward other gear, gas money, or those trips of a lifetime?!? Opportunities would be endless!

If I had to replace my Thorne Bros. rods each year, I'd be broke! Glad I have a mental system to my packing madness

[mltjanderson]

apparently I was just a little to sutle. I belive I am very organized. some people use an extra bedroom as a spare or home office,Mine is storage for hunting,fishing and other outdoor acctivies. lose any equipment not likely more likely my son use it and it didn't get put back with my stuff but stayed with his. He thinks of this room as his personal gander mountian or cabelas with no checkout

OK, I put the portable in the shed, did I put the auger next to it? I think I put the rods next to the summer rods, need to transfer a couple of reels or did I do that already. Looks like it is to late for me already. I have no idea where I set the Vexlar.

You got one of those hunting/fishing bedrooms too? They work well eh? Closed door keeps the dog out so he's not stinking up your hunting equipment. Gives you a safe, clean, dry place to store your bow, arrows, guns (gun safe), out of season fishing gear, and a place to store the receipts and packaging your toys came in so the wife don't throw it out incase you have to return it with no box....argh!!!!!
