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
