    Wow, it’s almost 2007 and I am packing for a fishing trip on the Big V…..r u kidding me…taking the mini van, christmas gifts, yadayadayada….I am relegating myself to 2 buckets and a rod bag…..

    Downgraded my vex tackle box for walleye only, packed my minnow bucket into the bucket, wearing 4 pairs of long underware up…sheesh…

    Father inlaw just got out of the hospital, so don’t have my old fishing partner, but jr. will do just fine…11″ of ice, so I won’t bother taking the shack (ain’t driving on that, and no sense draggin it a mile out)

    2 buckets including my vex, minnow bucket….and ice scoop.

    Back to 1900 this weekend boys

    Sounds like a blast to me, Big D!! Can’t think of a better way to spend a New Years weekend. We haven’t gotten decent ice this far south(Chicago)in quite awhile so I have to just read all of the reports on here and dream!

    Hope you knock ’em dead!!

    Copy!….will be a blast….haven’t carried buckets on the ice in 20 years…thus the reason for the wheeler in the garage, not to mention always having a truck…..

    AND…carrying my 8″ lazer hand auger with me…hope I don’t tie into something TOO big

    ok, I hope I have to pull up the whole sheet of ice to get it through the hole

    No doubt! Nothing like going back to basics sometimes!! I worked on Vermilion at a camp for three summers and always thought it would be a great lake to ice-fish. Need to get up there one of these winters.

    The sweat was worth it in the end….jr.s first walleye. Was cool because he caught it on a custom rod that I built him and gave him for Christmas…first fish caught on the rod.

    Cool! I think I recognize that yellow rod and reel in the pic…… Glad you had fun with the young ones!

    Good Fishing,
    Mike
