Ice Fishing, I'm talking!
I know many here are fall fishing, looking forward to waterfowl and deer, but is anyone thinking about ice fishing yet? I got looking at the shanties over the weekend, watched a few youtube videos, looked at the pics on here, and even went over IS.
Losing my local deer hunting spot a couple years ago due to the land selling has gotten me out of bow hunting and I miss it, but that's not the only reason. I think that I may be thinking about ice fishing even more this early this year because I never got out last year with our warm winter.
Am I the only nutcase out there?

I'm not there yet. Still got the yearly walleye outing at the end of the month then steelhead until Thanksgiving. Then I'll have the itch.

Have had the itch since the hot weather started in late June. Did kill some time making some tipdowns and shanty upgrades. Still have some fish in the freezer for now.

Pics of the tipdowns would be nice. "Pimp my Shanty" is always a good one for pics too.
Right now I'm planning to build a sled to put the shanty on to pull it through snow and slush easier. With the pulling getting easier, I may then move to shanty mods since adding a little weight won't be a big deal.
