i agree.  what's with people wanting to discuss ice fishing and related gear during ice fishing season?!  insanity i tells ya!!!  i'll stay here with the same 5 users discussing thanksgiving, cooking and mushroom hunting...

  the cold must be tough to handle when you get old?

for 50 years used a  5 gal. bucket, hand lining with  2 jigging rods with plastic spools and 4 # test line to jig up lots of perch using mousies, spikes and minnows, 5 inch hand auger and scoop. You don't need all that other crap.......JUST ICE!  Why change now?

 Could always stay here and talk about boats , baits , rods , reels, line , electric motors , graphs , talk about how rough the lake is , and don’t forget how much fun it is to talk about how much weight we put on while staring out the window waiting for the spring birds to appear 😃 👍

Calm down, Mac!  It's early, still only deer season.  We won't see safe ice till mid January.Put yer waders on, order some more stuff for yer boat, sip some tequila, and wrap a few rods........only 149 days till May 1.

Yup Greg
 

Heading out with Jeff Saturday morning on the lower Niagara for some steelhead and browns.  We chartered with a friend of his.  We have gone with Matt many times over the past 3-4yrs.  He works hard and we always catch a buncha fish.
Waiting for my minn Kota and still negotiating with the guy on the lithium iron battery for it.  We need to order that next month to insure we have it in time for spring browns in Olcott on Lake O.
So you have me pegged Greg.
You know me pretty well my friend.
Might even drill a few holes with Jeff this winter.  We will see how the neuropathy in the feet are however.
I’m off to Phoenix, NY right now for meetings.
Happy Thursday ladies.

No Florida this year? Oh yeah I forgot about the Covid thing.

[Jethro]

Still no Ulterra? Want me to hook you up with my guy? LOL

[lowaccord66]

I haven't put my boat away yet....





Glad I haven't....and Mac we all have our things...let the ice maniacs be.  Besides you wouldn't know what they were chatting about if you didn't peek!

Na!
Thanks Geoff!

Minn Kota has everything out of stock these days because of covid and raw materials, etc

Not earth shattering as I don’t need it till spring so it delays paying for it.

I think I'm jumping ship and switching to the garmin unit next year.  Everything I've read or watched about it seems to show its way more accurate.

Sounds like my Generac generator that won't be installed for a few months due to demand and Covid.

i have the portable garmin striker setup and I love it. use it all open water long on my boat and kayak and then switch to ice. has waypoint capability, A-scope zoom(which also lets you know how big the circumference of your view is on bottom of lake) for verticle jigging and even has a flasher mode for those who like it. I myself use the traditional on 77hz turned on to high scroll with the A-scope on. gives me temp, time, depth, and everything I need
