[johnr]

OH come on, you guys know that that is a direct quote from animal house. I knock out at least two of those criteria on a daily basis.

I'll go to the loony bin with you.

Haha
You are full of wit today.

Fat drunk and stupid, also don't move around on the ice. You effrs just add in pooping in front of the permanent next to you and you have nailed my hard water season.... haha

Hope no one will force my face in poo now

 

[DirtyMike]

i had a couple hour lunch today. And a couple hour breakfast. I need to figure out this scheduling thing.

 

[ShootnBlanks]

Eskimo has a newer better electric auger out.

Let me rephrase that so its not confusing. The ion electric auger has been upgraded this year

 

[lunkerslayer]

Never seen one before but I know they are not the first high performance electric ice auger, that would be ice gator

Looks like Shappell has some new insulated houses. A new insulated version of one of there hubs and their 2 man flip over, I like the FX 200 they had one setup at Dick's in Bismarck last year and looked like a decent 2 man flip over that you don't have to extend the poles. Looks like the Eskimo Evo's are getting a themal top version this year too.

However, if I have to dress like that to fish, I'll stay home.

If I wore that I would be like Randy, Ralph's brother in the Christmas Story. If I fell down I couldn't get up.

the jason mitchell clam flip over has a new camo color... I'm probably getting one

Looks like a pretty sick unit but I wonder how the touch screen works when it gets wet from snow falling.

Never used a inline reel,

Is it me, or is the acoe pulling the docks out of the water earlier every year? Do they seriously think Audubon, with a water temp of 52 degrees yesterday, is at risk of freezing within the month? Anyways, still have a bunch of new gear I bought two years ago that haven't been taken out of their package, and when averaged out, a pound of fish caught on the ice will probably cost three times what it will cost from a boat. This hobby is getting insanely expensive is my main beef. Seems like anything sold for the ice gets a 300% markup compared to it's open water cousin.

 

[lunkerslayer]

I agree Joe with major mark up on ice fishing tackle as well as the gear in town local stores. I buy my lures on clearance from eBay or Amazon on the off season usually save more on shipping cost then anything. There really isn't too much of a mark up online usually the deal is free shipping exception would be clothing of course.

 

[tikkalover]

I won a Black Betty inline, and a St. Croix rod at a "meeting" a few years ago. I really like it for fishing pan fish, it works great with the lighter jigs. Would I spend a $100 on a real, and $60 on an ice rod, probably not.

 

[MuskyManiac]

I wonder how this would work down an ice hole. I was so interested I bought a pack. Nothing like products that catch fishermen and not fish, haha!

 

[guywhofishes]

ha ha ha - fascinating

 

[espringers]

that motorized lure looks interesting. probably cost a lot more than my minnows though and the DL pike would do a number on em. the RT9 also looks sweet. i think guywhopostedaboveme has lowrance that will do all of what it does. but, without the ability to detach the face and whatnot.

 

[guywhofishes]

that RT9 looks like my kind of rig
