Raider4ever Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Bandit, I'm with you 110%. Got a new boat last Sept. and only got about six trips out of her before it went night-night. She's in a storage shed about three miles from my house and I can her her calling out. Global warming can bring it on anytime as far as I'm concerned.Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croixflats Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Use the ice while it is here. Lose the ice then we will hear its to cold to take the boat out. I guess I should have gotten the Arctic Armor suit, still time for that. Then we will hear , man when is the opener gonna get hear seems like its taking forever. Bring on the open water I have my Arctic Armor and the St.Croix opens a weak earlier than inland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdog1101 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Not me. I would like fishable ice to last until about May 1, then a quick overnight thaw to 70 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wish-I-Were-Fishn Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Not me. I would like fishable ice to last until about May 1, then a quick overnight thaw to 70 degrees. No way! Got to get those spring crappies in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMR85 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Even though i just got a Marcum VX-1Pro yesterday i still want the ice to thaw soon. Much rather be out in my boat! Now you need a high speed transducer Or you could use the marcum while still fishing. P.S. you should sign up for King of the Cats and we can hit up the river alot this summer. From shore or in the boat. Check out the catfish forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc0myy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 i am between a rock and a hard place. I love winter the ice fishing, late duck hunting,muzzle loading, and snow mobiling. I love winter. but we need some snow or some really warm temps. because I am iching to get in my boat I just got a lowrance x67 (ice machine) the other week and I would love to try in out in my boat. I don't care if I fish I want to try it out and take a nice long boat ride with a cigar and wearing nothing more than jeans and a sweatshirt. but just tonight I took my sled out and reved her up and [PoorWordUsage] I love sleding. so bring on the snow.

Raider4ever Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I am getting sick and tired of standing on my lake. I am dreaming about my boat now. I still have seven weeks before the lake opens up. This is going to be brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozebutton Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Yeah well, I've got 23 below right now. We're not going to lose much ice today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishing for walleyes Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I am ready for some march snow storms.Bring on a 2 foot storm with 4 foot drifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANOPY SAM Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'll gladly do another month and a half on Lake of the Woods thru the ice. The Pike and Eyes are just starting to put on the feedbag pre-spawn and the fishing is gonna be dynamite until soft water time. 40 degrees, BBQ'd brats and beans, tossin' the football, and waiting for flags to spring up, all while catchin' an early tan! Can't beat that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mngirl Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I'm at the point where my bike is starting to talk to me and I have already started to make plans to "help" my dad use his boat more often this summer. Plus I know a few fun spots to do some spring shore fishing. I don't have any ice fishing gear beyond a rod and jigs (I can't afford it and have no where to keep it anyways) so I haven't been able to do as much fishing this winter as I would like. But honestly, bring on spring!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
