One would think that after 35 years, we could find a warmer place to fish. Lake Erie ice fishing. Brrr!

Thinking, thinking, thinking, nope. Just looks too cold to be going out there sitting over a hole. Thanks for the post up of the pictures as it reconfirms and comforts my thoughts of things to do inside right now.

I've been ice fishing only two times. Neither time did they use any sort of shelter or heat source. And guess what? I ain't never goin' ice fishing again!!

Ha ha. We're spoiled. Store bought is just not as good.

Ice shanty, propane heater, and hole in the ice. No bourbon. Feet got cold. That must be what the bourbon is for? Lol.

Yes, staying warm is good for the bones.

I was hoping to get on the ice for some perch and crappie but the weather changed and started to rain.

Got 5 walleye and 25 perch. No pics but I think it's believable since it doesn't even add up to a limit for one.

I've been ice fishing only two times. Neither time did they use any sort of shelter or heat source. And guess what? I ain't never goin' ice fishing again!!

I wouldn't go without the shelter and heat either. And the cracking ice was pretty scary. But, I don't think I can say "never again."

Wow 35 years, congratulations. I just topped 30.

Thanks, Tamrock. Congratulations to you, too. As I am finding, that's quite a statement in today's world.

Thanks to all for the replies. Sorry I took so long to get back to them. It was busy weekend.

Thank you, Blak Bart. We're kinda grounded due to elderly parents and I'm the only kid (haha although I'm old) left to take care of them. We've got an invitation to go to Belize. I hope to do that someday.

Yes, he does. Even dreams about it. I know because he talks in his sleep. Lol!

Ok ok. I've been working on more. But they've got to be timed appropriately.
