no but I got a couple buds that do....they say one of the coolest things is to lay down and have someone cover u with a blanket...u can see clear down to the bottom
I looked over at my wife and said "hey he wants to know if there's any ice fishermen here"....she said "HUH"?
lmao, never been. Im a southern guy, our lakes rarely freeze here. I like to fish when its warm, I hate the cold
Back home when I was a kid, we used to ice fish. Same guys I used to go with then are still going now.
naw. no one here in afghanistan is into ice fishing for some strange reason?
Lol. Not that there is any water, but doesn't it get very cold in the evenings there?Quote:

Bought a power auger which is great could not wait to use it
Love my ice fishing, perch and walleye are normally what most people go for here.
i can't say i would find this activity of any interest to me, unless there was someone i was trying to avoid. :)
That is one reason I like it,I can get away from everyone for a few hours.Quote:

Love fishing but never done ice fishing
I would hate to live anywhere you're able to go ice fishing lol
we go out there put few holes in ice put up 3 sided canvas to block wind
Start a fire on fire pit and some times we bring the quads on ice and mess around
off cycle have a couple cold ones
Funny you say that because where I am from perch is bait.Quote:

Fish are bitting like crazy up here in the Yukon
Have some good friends up there that send me some great pics of fishing trips. Going to head up that way this year and do the Dempster highway on bike. Looking forward to it.Quote:

And the money goes to a good cause.
Yeah I ice fish. Most all the fish (salmon, trout, steel-head) are packed in ice at our grocery story and I have to pick them up out of the ice before bagging it. Does that count?
One of my dad's favorite ice fishing story is that his buddy was ice fishing in a tent he set up on Lake Erie, around a bunch of other fishermen in their own tents. He took his dog with him, a chocolate lab. Whenever he caught a fish his dog loved to grab the fish as soon as he got them to the surface. But on this day, when he got a fish up to the surface his dog slipped through the hole and disappeared when trying to grab it. He waited and waited but his dog never found the hole again and he knew his dog had been down too long to be alive. But just then he heard another man scream from another tent! The dog popped his head up through another fisherman's ice hole in his tent. He ran over and they had to chip more ice away to get the dog out, but he was fine. But the guy who had the dog pop up through his hole was scared to death. He said he was just sitting there and this head came up out of the hole and of course scared the crap out of him. Lol.
