Is it wrong of me.....

[Mr. Pike1]

To have my ice shake set up in front of the big screen TV? My wife thinks I may have a problem. My 4 year old loves play in "the fort" as she calls it. I plan on sharing a beer with my dad during the Vikings game today from that very spot. Is it me? have I gone to far? Is this a symtom of ice fish fever?

[upnorth]

That might just be a little over the edge

The only thing I would do different is that I would put in an ice fishin video.

Dont worry, your perfectly "normal".

Last night I got a new ice rod and some lures. I was out in the living room rigging up the rod and organizing my tackle box!

------------------
Fish ON!

[tightlines]

You are going to watch the Viking's and spoil a perfectly nice Sunday in the fish house.. Just kidding, sort of.. LOL

[Guest]

Set it up in your bedroom.

Maybe she has a beter game in mind for it?

[Poutmaster]

I'm not sure I quite understand? What isn't normal about that?!?

------------------
Love them 'Pout!

Backwater, good point. It does have a nice bench seat. If my "fever" persists this may be the next step.

[Guest]

Did the same thing last year. Only I fell into a type of fishing trance and got thru the carpet with my auger before the screaming stopped me. Hey, it could happen!

[hortundra]

Sound ok to me....When I got a new boat, I was working on electronics location. My wife walked in the garage in Feb. and I was sitting in boat with rod in hand. She just looked baffled, laughed, turned and left. Last Sun. I rigged and organized for the upcoming season. I had the living room covered. Wife just said have it all back in the garage by the time Sopranos are on.LOL

Thats not so bad. I have a friend that ripped apart his airboat in the off season and hung some of the parts on his living room walls. He said it was just tempory untill the parts he ordered came in. They are still hanging there,the parts were in last year.

Mr Pike, nothing wrong with that, as long as it doesn't sit there all winter.

[Guest]

Heck, I'd skip the game and go fishing. Take the two beers along and bring a radio and listen to the game. When it gets too frustrating to listen anymore, turn it off.....I think the Vikes will stink out the joint today anyway. .......T

Hi
It all sounds normal to me! In fact I have known full grown men that have sat in there permanent waiting for hard ice dreaming about the day!!

As soon as the ice is safe the shack will become a permanent weekend ficture on some body of water.

[StPaulParkFisherman]

It sonds like a great time mr pike.But you need to get on out on the lake.

[Guest]

Its ok to sit in the house in the house just dont drill any holes in the floor .lol
I built a portable in my living room a few years back the wife did give funny looks.

I don't drive fast, I fly low.

Sounds perfectly normal to me. What's the problem?

I think today if the trap was up in the living room and I was watching the Vikes. I would went in the trap, zipped it up, and saved myself the anger from watching.

Fish ON!

[P Gottshall]

I've done the same. Doesn't everybody?

My wife didn't have a problem with me assembling my voyager in the living room, but wasn't understanding of me leaving it there 'till first-ice. Women. . .

It's OK to drill holes in your living room if your basement's flooded. Gotta test the electronics somehow.
