No, but it's something I would like to try. I have the portable blind and a buddy heater, but most of the specialized ice fishing gear I would still need. Been thinking about it....

Born and raised in the midwest, I know about Cold, Snow, And Ice. I can't fathom why anyone would knowenly subject themselves to those conditions to catch a bunch of panfish. Just me. If you like it, go for it. Me? I moved to Florida where i can fish all year in LIQUID water. Went out yesterday and caught, Snapper, Trout, and Redfish, and didn't freeze my butt off doing it.

Contrary to popular belief, Walt Disney is not.

Contrary to popular belief, Walt Disney is not. ...an anti-hunter? Of course he was. Every time he showed hunters they were liars, law breakers, thieves, terrible shots, and bad people in general. He also killed off mothers in his films due to his own mother dying while he was young. (It was his way of dealing with her death) Side note: no one who works for Disney could have a mustache, even the men. (Even though Disney himself did)

Did you know he had a water park at one time? He was using swamp water and his own onsite filtering system. City passed a tax requiring all water parks to use city water or pay a heavy tax. (It only affected him) he said Fuq-em, and shut the park down. Total loss of jobs and taxes.

With the thousands I have tied up in fly fishing gear, I'm not going to get into the "most lavish shack" competition. Some of those mid-west shacks are nicer and have bigger TV's than my home.
A bit envious, but leave me out.
Some of you lake country folks please put up your images.

Spent today getting my ice fishing gear all set for the season. Had to put new line on some reels, put the liner back in my striker suit and charge the batteries for my ice drill. I'll try it tomorrow somewhere near the house.

We plan to put the "hard shack" out on Saturday Richard. Got all the "mobile stuff" ready too. From a couple of years ago; Nothing fancy, but nice & warm thanks to the wood stove. For my mobile sleigh/tent set ups I use Mr Buddy propane heaters in both !

Paul, do you catch more inside, or outside the shack?
I think I know where the parking sign came from.

Always fish outside Richard, no holes inside of the hard shack.
I will usually have a hole in my sleigh tent though. Unless it's a beautiful day !
