Is she crazy?

[DTro]

Or am I getting blindsided?

I spent a good 4-5 days on the water every week this summer with a lot of them going into the wee hours of the morning.

Never been a big hard water guy, as I was never really properly introduced to it.

I always figured it was a good balance for my wife.

Now out of nowhere she says "I was thinking, I'd like to buy you a fishhouse."

Say What?

Do I really want to plunge into this?

I was thinking... maybe I could tag along on a couple skunkaroos to enforce my thoughts. If I go out and catch some fish and have a blast.......it's all over, I just know it

[Captain B.R.K]

Don't do it....the ice can't support another fisherman!

I can already see it now- the house will lead to new boots, clothing, rods, tackle, electronics, auger, 4 wheeler, trailer, etc. - then she'll be wishing those words never came out of her mouth!

[deepportage01]

dtro,if you don't want to be hooked for life please stay away

Let her get one for ya and come out with us early season on ML after that your hooked for sure.

yes, you do really want to plunge into this, ice fishing well there are no word it's that good, come on in man and enjoy the ride who knows you might get a 12lb green back this winter...

No, No, that's all wrong. I said skunkaroo . I was thinking maybe someone could take me out to Swan Lake.

Thanks for the invite Tom, I will seriously consider it.

[MntkaFishin]

Careful Dtro, the last time my wife wanted to buy me a new piece of outdoor equipment she had her sights set on new diamond earrings.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Darrin- I would be more interested in knowing why my wife wanted me out of the house so much?

This ice fishing thing looks cheep.. but it can get nasty.. LOL

Just let me know when you want to go.

I seriously cannot remember the last time I was "skunked" on the ice. I've had a few slow days but not very many fishless days.

Maybe we can start you off with something you are familiar with, like channel cats! Woo Hoo!

[Eckie]

If it sounds too good to be true, a woman with a motive is sure to be involved!

[stmichael]

Come on guys not all women have motives...

Who am I kidding, dtro, best of luck.

If you fish as often as you do, it sounds like it could be sarcasm... becareful of thin ice... On the other hand, maybe, she is interested in ice fishing, and likes to see you happy.

This is why we have not been able to figure women out, they are sneaky, even when they are not trying to be(which is the worst case), and we cannot seem to trust them. We hear the horror stories told to us by friends and family, mostly movies, they say that these movies are not true, you know that it is all possible. anyone for a little Buckcherry, CRAZY(FEMALE DOG)

dtro just for the record I was not referring to your wife in the above statement, that was referring to all women. No matter how nice your woman is they all have potential to rip the things that make you a man at anytime.

Becareful my friend, becareful.

of all the thoughts posted, I think this one is probably the closest

[chris63]

Meat, My thoughts exactly or She wants something.I hope I,m wrong though.Just waiting for ice...........c63

[efgh]

I would run right to the fish house store and buy a big retractabe wheel house or what ever she has in mind for you to get before she changes her mind, which can happen in a flash. In your heading it say , Is she crazy? I don;t know, but get going on it.

[BigDaddy]

On the side you could name it,

"Her idea"

[Grant]

gawd, i wish my wife would drop a bomb like that on me!

Hanson- any advise on what to look for hunting winter channels? - the cat bug bit me last summer and it hasn't seemed to flag as it's gotten colder!

[Blaze]

Danger, dtro! Danger!

An old joke, but your post made me think of it.

===============================

Every Saturday morning a man goes fishing. He gets up early and eager, makes his lunch, takes the dog and off he goes for the day. One Saturday morning he gets up early, dresses quietly, makes his lunch, grabs the dog and hops in the car.

Coming out of his garage, rain is pouring down like a monsoon. There is snow/sleet mixed in with the rain, and the wind is blowing at 40mph. He returns the car to the garage, goes into the house and quietly undresses and slips back into bed. There he cuddles up to his wife's back and whispers: "The weather out there is terrible." To which she sleepily replies: "Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in it?"

Hmm....

There aren't a lot of places to get them through the ice. Horseshoe Chain near Cold Spring, Lake Zumbro near Rochester, and maybe a few others as well. Check out the St. Cloud area forum for more information about the Horseshoe Chain. Ummm... they do put up a good fight under the ice too!
