Thanks All...

[BoxMN]

Just want to say thanks to everybody who is active here. I am new to ice fishing, and have learned so much here I can't start. I now have my auger, my gear, soon to have a nice two man shelter, and having a blast. And I can't stay away from checking here often during the day.

I have learned so much, and still just a beginner. I have my favorite walleye sites, and this been my favorite "specialty" site, but this Ice Forum is just incredible, beyond belief. You all are so helpful and active that it is now my favorite place to come to.

I hope someday I can help folks like you have helped me. Thanks,

-Box

White Bear Lake, and soon to be fishing WBL...

Box- You are just the size person I want to walk ahead of me for early and late ice! Just kidding. I did not know you were getting into ice fishing. We will need to take your brother out some. Once pheasant season is over and the ice is better, we will get out.

Glad to hear you are enjoying your time on FM. Everyone is always willing to help out with whatever they can. Only problem I see know is you will probably be like the rest of us and be checking in on FM all the time. This is what FM is all about and we look forward to your future posts and fishing reports.

Try to attend some of the FM get togethers that happen through the ice fishing season to get yourself even further in the game. These events are normally hosted by fishermen that have fished the specific lake the event will be held. Lots of free knowledge hanging around at these events...don't be afraid to attend.

If there has ever been a small spark of interest in tournament fishing, I'd even take a look at The Ultimate Panfish League which targets a lot of the metro lakes!

FM is the #1 informative site on the net in my opinion when it comes to hunting and fishing! Glad you are enjoying it.

Update - I got a shack today! I got an Otter Medium Cabin. There were several models in the running, and was thinking seriously of the Shappell Rover 2.0 DX, but got a heck of a deal on a new Medium Cabin. It is a bit shorter than I was looking for, but still high enough, and the square tubing frame helped sell me. Just put it together, was pretty easy, and seems pretty darn strong. No seat yet, maybe bench down the road.

Can't wait till the weekend! I have everything now except the locator

Thanks again for all the info and help. Mike, lets get out and get Erik out. He saw lots of geese and hunters, but they didn't get a shot. Talked to two guys who did very well though.
