At 51 years old I just drilled my first hole through the ice and I can honestly say that I think I’m hooked! I was looking for something to do during the winter months and prior to retirement I still have some disposable income to gear up. This website has been invaluable for me to gain much needed info and insights on equipment, presentation, locations, safety and much more. I do enjoy the (normally playful) banter amongst members over their passion for certain types of gear. That said, in my first season as a hardwater enthusiast I would like to make a shout out to all of my acquired equipment for working as designed and hopefully keeping me on the fish!
Strikemaster, HT Enterprises, Marcum, Clam, Frabill, 13 Fishing, Ice Armor, LaCrosse, Ice Force, Custom Jigs and Spins, Rapala, Stren, Sufix and I’m like a kid at Christmas checking my front porch for my Otter Wild Cabin to arrive this week!
I’ve yet to become totally loyal to any one manufacturer because so far none of them have sent me a paycheck .
Keep up the amazing stories, hopefully I’ll have some good ones to tell soon, and as you guys say “tight lines!”
