Yo Guys & Gals,
Guess my days are numbered
In the boat for this season. I will be putting the boat to bed for the winter which brings about the eager anticipation of hard water fishing. I may get a couple more trips out. So with thoughts of fishing through the ice, dancing in my head, I am checking out my equipment and first on my list is getting the Nils cutting heads sharpened before the season starts. Yes I have 2 of them.
I will most likely be switching over to Iceshanty.com after this post , but felt it important enough to warn you to get your cutting heads sharpened in a timely manner prior to ice season.
For the last 6 seasons I have sent my cutting heads to Frank DeLuca,a master machinist who has refurbished my blades to a
“Like new” condition. Mr DeLuca’s address and Phone number is contained here-in:
Frank DeLuca
5382 Jentoft Road
Saginaw, Mn.  55779

Ph: 1-218-729-7941
Thank me later…….Boggey

 Frank is the man , he’s done several heads over the years with no complaints

Had mine done in April. At that point I was ready for a new season. Might need new batteries in my head lamp.

Yo Guys & Gals,
I am again in that state of limbo twixt fishing from the boat and cutting holes in the ice. Put the boat and trailer up on blocks, covered and winterized it.

Not having much luck shore fishing. A few feeble attempts have left me more prone to raking leaves and winterizing the camp in anticipation of winters onslaught.

While I can’t say the Pond was very productive this summer, I did manage several trips to Henderson , Chaumont, Oneida, Cayuga and Clayton fishing holes to keep the freezer full of perch.

As my large progeny, neighbors and old fishing buds depend on an occasional bag of perch it has been incumbent of me to travel further from the hearth than usual to keep the larder full.

Add to that, the Pond was not too hospital for perch fishing this summer with extremely low water conditions as is the case even now, entering the winter months. I’m curious how this will translate to our fish stock for the coming ice season.

I guess I will have to be content restocking the jigs, finding some of the newest and greatest fishing lures, getting the Polaris tuned and ready for the ice and maybe just maybe look  at a new two man shanty. Ah well, the cycle renews itself again with a few new wrinkles every year. The joy of seeing old fishing friends and making new ones looms with fresh anticipation.

It’s time to put this thread to bed for the winter. Hope you will all join me over on Iceshanty.

Glad to hear your still ticking Jboggey , I have been busy chasing and catching those tiger trout.
Don't know if you will see me on the ice this year.
God willing you catch a lot of perch on top of that hard water and be sure you have your Jesus shoes and stay on top.

Glad to see you're humming like a Swiss watch.   

Say hello to my pal Lance bud and have fun drilling holes.
