Ice Vs. Open Water...The Official Poll

[devil-man]

OK, I'm fence sitting.  I like them both. There is no choice for that 

Flip a coin! That's what I did.

OK, it's not a coin flip but ......I choose open water.  My wife likes fishing when it is warmer out and she goes with me more often.  She is my best friend and I like fishing with my friend.

ice is the best you can get more guys on the ice than you can get in the boat, plus you dont need ice for the road sodas.

I would have to say that ice fishing is what I perfer but I don't get to do it as much as I would like to. bear

I spent many a winter day ice fishing.   Trudging em down and elbow greasin' my holes with a manual auger.   Had a lot of fun doing it.   

But hands down open water fishing for me.   Summer, winter, spring or fall it doesn't matter.    Point the bow east, clear the inlet and go hunting in the atlantic.    I don't like having boundrys when I fish.   Don't like to see the land.   When its water all the way around and nothing to see but a tuna bird here and there I am happy.   We've got 450 gallons of fuel on board, enough to carry us up to the canyons off North Jersey or down to the South Carolina border.    Somewhere between are the fish.    Thats the part I like.   Millions of square acres of ocean and your best guess....    Thats the challenge that fires me up!

Wow, sounds great.  Except for the part where I'm hanging over the edge of the boat chumming!   I got sea sick one time on the Cape May (NJ)/Lewes (DE) ferry.  Maybe that's why most of my fishing is wading in a river.
