2014 LBDN ice fishing extravaganza

[jehler]

Is in the works!

[DeadEye_Dan]

I'm in

[jehler]

Yee haww

[DeadEye_Dan]

I don't even know what's involved but I'm committed

[jehler]

The date is late January to late February, weather dependent, looking to play it by ear

[jehler]

When we get a forecast for a good weekend we'll make the call, probably a 3 day'er

[jehler]

Working on a cabin that sleeps 5 with beds there, room for a few cots.

[Flightstopper]

LBDN?

[DeadEye_Dan]

Little Bay De Noc.

Nerve wracking sonofabitch. Try to keep up.

I'm going to start buying cigars now.

Dan- Jehler just wants you to drive your truck first onto the ice

Dan- Jehler just wants you to drive your truck first onto the ice

by that time I year should be able to drive a Mac truck out there

[DeadEye_Dan]

That's Beels business. If he wants to eat a $10 stick, that's on him.

I'm not smoking garbage.

I have driven out on ice before and it don't bother me either. Fun to see the new guys look around when you hear snap, crackle, pop

Do it. Sure there are lots of guys on base that do it. At a minimum, just need an auger and small rods/reels. Bait can be small shrimp, jigs, corn, etc.

Whaaaaat? Devils Lake...it's literally like the fishing village from Grumpy Old Men on the ice.

The ice literally freaks me out for some reason.

Fine cigars taste too good to smoke. I torch up the cheap ones, eat the fancy ones.

[DeadEye_Dan]

You might be sick for a week on some of the real good ones

[bill herian]

Bring it.

[JGUN]

I'll be there just because I want to see if Bill has honed his beer can skills or lack thereof

[Woody]

I've never gone ice fishing... don't know if I would enjoy it, but I am willing to sit in my truck and watch you guys freeze your asses off.

How do you feel about driving your truck on the ice?

depends... are there trees growing less than 6ft apart?

Growing, no. Stuck in drilled ice holes to mark the trail,yes.
But there's a chance a minivan might run you off the trail!

I hated driving on the ice. Actually, I hated even being in the ice shack, but the drive was always the worst. I had the windows down and one hand on the door handle at all times. The first time I was in the shack and the lake groaned, and then coughed up a little mini tsunami of water through the hole, I almost shit myself. I think that's half the reason people drink so much while ice fishing- to help wash aware the fear of an impending icy death.
