Almost time to get the saw out!
You use a saw for cutting through the ice? Interesting. What type do you use, chainsaw? I just use the good old 10 inch Eskimo hand ice auger (wish I had a Strikemaster Lazer 224 power auger though!).
I haven’t been ice fishing since I was a very young man. We use to use a key hole saw back then. Couldn’t afford anything else. Had a buck saw but don’t think that it would have worked all that well.
I use a 12 gauge shotgun.
I saw a guy packing his gun last year, and I asked him if that was what he used. Pretty funny I thought, but he only hauled it around just in case he saw ducks or geese. On the same day I saw a guy using a freakin axe. People are just crazy!
the pike spearers have been using chain saws here for nearly 35 years. it is a site to see them pull out that gigantic block of ice in one peice.
[:(] It is a sad day in my neck o’ the woods..regular fishing season has ended today…
…So bring on the Hard Water [:)]
New England is facing a foot of snow today and tonight…
think it might ice soon [angelic] I am getting the urg to walk on water…
Just received my “Ugly Stix Ice” fishing rod today from ebay…
Bring On Hard Water!
well did you fill a five gallon bucket full of water and throw on a jig to test it out?
Dose it meet up to your expectations?
[:)]Sure Did!..Here fishy fishy fishy?
[:)] Oh Boy…the bucket I used to test out my new rod..had a film
of ice on the top of it this morning
Oh stop it ! It’s bad enough when I do this on my own(like I need anymore help). Our weather is starting to turn as well - but it will be a few more weeks before ice is here. So I still have time to get my stuff together and convert from the soft water to the hard.
BTW - what kind of ugly stick did you get ? I’ve been looking at the new ones for a while but haven’t gotten one yet. Those Ugly cat sticks look real nice. I also like those Ugly lite sticks.

70+ degrese here today, boat still full of water from last weeks rain, maybe I will bail it out tomarow and tip it upside down tomarow in hopes of more climate weather…
I think tho it may be a couple more months here before I start seeing stiff waters…
well I reluctantly pulled out my summer box and did the general house cleaning, tightning jars pulling out the rats nest of knotted line, pulling off the rusted hooks from my lures.
I got around to turning my boat upside down, and not a moment to soon might I add, we got a masive thunderstorm for opening day of deer season… tomarow we are suspost to have more rain, no wrod about any more kaboomers, I just stepped out side to put the tackle box debre in the can the temp is about 70 at midnight.
I went by the store to look at a larger box for ice fishing, now that I have a ride I can cary a couple more tools with me. Why I dont realy know, but I just gotta have them… I dont even know what thay are yet…[angelic]
