Ice fishing 2025

Sooooo who's getting ready for some ice fishing??? Hoping the weather co operates this year and we get a little more out of the season than we got the past couple of years. We are booked Jan 30th to Feb 2nd with SSIC/Greening Bay and now that I am retired and living in the area we are hoping to book a mid week this year if the weather co operates. Got the one trip in last year but our mid week got cancelled the day before when the shoreline broke up. C'mon ice.

Hey Fatrap! Good to see you on the board! Hope you’re doing well man. Now if we only had someone to tease about coffee tables……haha. Congrats on your retirement, I hope you’ve been having a good time.

Been going through and testing/prepping gear in my spare time the last few weeks. My annual goal in any year is to fish Nip for 10+ days during the hardwater season. Some years more some years less. Last year only managed 7 due to conditions and a concussion. That being said last season the bite was hot and probably one of my best numbers years ever. Put over 200 fish through the ice in those 7 days and twice caught a limit of jumbos

If December cooperates and conditions permit planning 3 days starting on the first of January.

Glad to see you back Fatrap. We are booked again for Jan 17th with Ice Bungalows and no Darl. Talk soon.

Just got my spare battery for the Marcum delivered by Amazon. Now to find the new secret lure for this year and I'll be set!

Well for crying out loud, it’s beyond great to see you here. Hope things have been good for you. Congrats on the retirement buddy.
It just hasn’t been the same here without you.
Cheers

Hey Jay, always great to see your posts.
I’ve moved on from coffee tables and had a lu lu of an injury last year.
Maybe I’ll post a Chevy injury report.
Cheers bro

you haven't found a new secret lure yet???

Thanks Iceman, been awhile for sure. Good to see you still posting on here, hope the fishing has been good for you these past couple years.

Nice to "ear" from you Chevy, hope life has been treating you well these past few years. Life took a spin for a couple of years but all is good, mostly had no internet available for the past couple of years that kept me away. Still got our trips in when possible, don't want to give these trips up. Now that I am closer to the lake hoping to get an extra trip or two in weather permitting.

Hey brmball good to see you are still posting on here and still getting your annual trips in.....of course Darl isn't going.......lol. Metroland closed the doors on us in March 2023, gave us a half a$$ severance package then went bankrupt and screwed us outta our severance package. Lucky I was close enough to retirement to affect me too much. If you see Darl tell him I said hi.

Lmao. I “ ear “ you. Life has been great. Another grandson in the tribe.
I might have to dust off the keyboard and contribute more instead of just reading posts now and then.
There are a great many cast of characters on here and ive dearly enjoyed the good hearted banter over the years.
