[bassjunky]

As requested, let us know what you perfer

[archbishop]

who requested this?
this is going to be pretty dang lopsided

[billditrite]

No contest...ice, ice, ice, and more ice. It cant get here too soon, or stay too long!! I think about icefishing a little more often than sex, and that doesn't leave a lot of thinking for anything else  :blink:

While I love to open water fish, I chose icefishing...there's just something about it that's just addicting.  I love the feeling I get when I'm catching tons of perch and they suddenly disappear (on the Vex) and suddenly one mark appears all by itself...because I just know that the strike I'm about to get is going to be from a pike or a walleye, or a big bass.   The steady action is nice too... PLUS...Seeing a flag go up is one of the most exciting things in fishing  , because you just don't know what's going to be on the other end...If you don't get excited when a flag goes up and you can see a fish taking line from your spool, there's something wrong!  

Bring on the ice!

although there are a few people on here from down south that think ice is something that goes in your drink

Icefishing without a doubt. Been going for 30+ years and it never gets old.

[Skipper]

No contest, give it to me frozen!

[archbishop]

the open water guys seem to want to stay anonymous

[crowkiller]

it doesn't matter to me either way but i said open do to the fact you can catch a bigger variety of fish     

[bottomfeeder]

I'll take ice all year, i hate this weather, high nineties tomorrow.

[MikeThePike]

I think my usual away messege sums it up:

"warm beer may be warm but it's still beer.....but everyone knows it's much better ICE COLD!

down at the river waiting for it to freeze"



90+ for the next few days is making me want the ice even more

flyfishing VS. icefishing
i picked icefishing. very close though..
id say deciding factor is that i can flyfish all year round(bow river stays open) but ice is limited

[billybono]

open water fishing is just to pass time untill first ice!!!!!!!!

I chose Ice fishing as  I have more time in the winter than  the Summer what with all the    haying that needs to be done doesn't leave much time   I have only been out 4 times this summer but I'm hoping that will change since my cousin got a boat    

[archbishop]

dont forget the fact you can pull all your stuff out with you with regular ease, cookout with all your buddies, keep your beer cold, wander the lake without wasting gas, NO BUGS, hop in your shanty for an afternoon nap, play catch while waiting for a flag, you always know when your buddy has a fish because he screams flag at the top of his lungs, so theres no lying about the one he caught an no one was around to see, etc, etc, etc...
