Who Needs Summer?

[hawgTime]

After the UNBELIEVABLE weather and GREAT fishing this winter, I could icefish indefinitely. I'll be bummed when it ends.

I'm with you hawgtime -- despite the late start it ended up being a great season. I know I've got at least one more trip in me --I'll be in Alex this weekend and will drop a line.

If this weather keeps up it won't be much longer before ice fishings done for the season. This weekend could be it for me.

Tight lines,
joe

I'm a "sicko" like the rest of you. I don't want it to end.

Plus, I've just got on some really good bites. Please come back Old Man Winter.

i'm in the same boat with you hawgtime,guess we'll just have to wait till next year.

Ice fishing is very addicting, and I'm an enourmous addict. I wish it would stay 30 degrees and sunny forever.

Hawgtime,

There's nothing like watching a bobber go down a hole in the ice. There's nothing like trolling a crawler harness on the St. Louis river. As much as I long for ice fishing I look forward to the spring time walleyes, big pike in the summer and shooting ducks in the fall. That's what makes MN great. I couldn't imagine living somewhere that didn't have four seasons.

good luck

See what you guys did!!! It is snowing like
crazy outside. If I'm ever to get out on
the open water, I may have to whip out my
voodoo doll and dress it up with shorts,
tank-top and sunglasses.

[fishinphyl]

Hey Tumbleweed - I agree with you! I just shoveled 2-3" off the driveway an hour ago and there must be almost another inch on there now! Now I don't like to ice fish so get your voodoo doll ready - I'll even make the dress!!!!!

I worked my way around a crappie hot spot with about 75 other people last weekend.People were just jumping in fishing out of my holes I augered in 1/2 hour earlier. Ice looked like swiss cheese. Yep I am ready for the open water.Its been a good year but no fun when the late season pressure comes.

[Guest]

Wooo-hooo! I get another weekend on the ice. Last year I fished in the cities until April 10th. I've got a shot at the 11th this year.

Hey Ray,
Send me an e-mail buddy, I lost your
address. Remember you can't fish for
smallies until that freekin ice all
melts.

OK so last week I was all for continued ice fishing, but I got my last weekend in and now I'm ready for winter to be gone.
Went out on a good note though -- fished Lake Agnes in Alex and iced some mighty fine perch including my first two over 11" -- not too bad considering I'd never really fished for them intentionally before.

[Guest]

I used to be in the same boat as you guys, but now I realize we must be crazy!!! I just got back from Longboat Key, Florida. It was absolutely beautiful. 80+ degrees everyday. Went fishing, we caught a few shark, and a lot of warm sun!!! Went scuba diving and saw all kinds of snook, some well over 10 pounds. It was nice. I come back here on early Monday morning and look what we've got, 8 inches of snow. BRING ON THE SUMMER!!!

Good Luck,
Rusty

Am heading for Leech Lake for perch in the morning and then crappie on Sunday at a lake near where I live. Can't have enough ice. Had to buy a 4-wheeler to pull my shelter, but that's alright! Still want to make one more run up to LOW before the ice goes. Love it. I have a sign next to the door that says "Work is for people who don't like to fish". And that works for me!
