Pat- You make me laugh. (but that is in a good way). Thanks a lot for letting the cat out of the bag on my Antelope Island ice fishing honey-hole in the Great Salt Lake. Now I'll bet every BFT moderator from Petty to Bear Lake Mack will be out there on the Salt Lake to try and figure out where in the hades the ice is at.
Like I was telling you, I got to the point where I didn't trust the integrity of the float tube bladder to keep me afloat. Also the boat motor is a heck of a lot faster than me kicking my guts out and getting cramps in my legs as a result. I have had a lot of fun in my younger days in a tube. I will try to attach an old photo taken at Daniels Reservoir. I still have the waders but I would need to get a better pair of flippers and a tube, or borrow my sons.
A friend would tube Fish Lake just as the ice was coming off and cast his lure onto the ice and then pull it off and let it sink down from the edge and catch a lot of trout. But yes, I was a wimp and stood on the bank and cast out rather than get my butt cold in the ice water. Acey
Life is Fishing...the rest is just details.
