hawkeye43 Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 i got the strange look when I took my otter in to get a few seams fix and added some pockets. All I said is that I could be using it anyday now. You can only hope.[This message has been edited by hawkeye43 (edited 07-02-2004).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose-Hunter Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 You want weird looks..... Go out in your driveway, mid-day and light up your auger. Never done that before wearing shorts, t-shirt and sandles and REEKING of sweat and bug spray.... My neighbors thought I had finally lost it....------------------M-H (aka: Dan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Grump Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 DanDid firing up your auger help chase the mosquitos away any? If that will help, I'll get mine out of storage and gas it up!UG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanson Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Well,I caught myself sitting on my Arctic Cat again the other day. It just doesn't like summer storage I also got all sorts of little ice fishing related projects going on right now. From my Otter sleds to my tackle boxes and in a few weeks, my permanent shack.

Redlantern Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I tried my auger today to help with the bugs, didn't work. How fast do you have crank the handle to make a difference?------------------Erik Torgerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallydiver Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 The other day I had to mow the lawn. So, as long as I had the mower running, I started the auger, snowcat AND the snowblower. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm nuts. Wait till they see me doing that this fall with the new ice house and the portable set up in the garage too. Bring on the Ice!

Matt Johnson Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Is it just me, or do the rest of you point out good ice fishing spots every time you're on the open water fishing? I'm always keeping mental notes when I'm out in the boat..."This has got to be a good spot for ealry ice crappies", or "I know we could find some walleyes here come first ice", middle of summer and I'm thinking ice fishing ... I love it! Good Fishin,Matt Johnson ------------------Matt Johnson OutdoorsMetro Area Ice Fishing, Team Catch-N, and more...

Moose-Hunter Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Hey there U.G....As a matter of fact... no, it didn't chase any of them away. But it did stop them from biting for a few minutes. I think it made them a bit jealous since my "stinger" was bigger than there's... LOL!!!------------------M-H (aka: Dan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUSHWAC Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Matt, my folks just got a summer cruise of all my ice fishing spots of last year! They wanted to go look at cabins and I was like, " here's where I got the Walleyes, check out that cut, you can see where the Gill's were stacked. This deep hole held numerous Whitefish. Crappies were holding good in this deep mud here also!! "The co-workers just scolded me also for bring up the ice season!! Bring on the ice!!

so haaad Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 I fired up the auger last week, and bought ice fishing tackle over the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augernaut Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Oh thank God! I'm not the only one afflicted with this illness. Whenever I'm fishing open water, all I can think of is how I can't wait for first ice! The other day I respooled a few tipups, and reorganized my panfish jigs for the 20th time.

psegriz Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 If I could afford it I'd move to the southern hemisphere in April and come back in time for deer huntin and ice fishin. Anything over 70 is too hot to do anything, under 32 it's time to fish.------------------Ice is coming soon!!GRIZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
