What's there to do in the winter?
ICE FISHING, of course!
Walk out on the ice in your La Crosse boots and
creepers, dragging your bait bucket and gear
behind you in your
Jet Sled.  Check the ice
periodically with your
chisel, and when you reach
your "sweet" spot, set up your
shelter and drill
a few holes with your
hand or power auger
(make sure that power auger has
oil!).  Get the
tip-ups with fresh tilt line out of your pack
basket
, check the depth with your sounder,
make sure your
steel leaders are ok and your
hooks are sharp, then bait 'em up and drop 'em
down.  If it's slow and the beer isn't cold
enough yet, break out your
jigging rod and
favorite
jigs, pop on some mousees and give it a
try.  Hey!…flag's up!  Grab your
skimmer and
gaffe, pull off your gloves, and run for it...this
could be the BIG one!
Got everything you need?  If not, have your buddies watch your stuff
while you head over to our place...you'll see why we're known as
