First time since ice on that a full week has been worked without getting a fix on the ice, that’s right, 5 days in a row 
I have a full day at work tomorrow yet, and nothing is going to be easy about Friday either 
Just knowing the gear is cocked and ready to rock for a new adventure this weekend, well….it’s not helping either
Pull me through dudes….I need your help iceheads….tell me……I’m not going through this alone am I……Please tell me I’m not 
Come on weekend 
Joel and I are going exploring on Fort tomorrow
Want pics ? ? 
Join the club Bret, I keep seeing all the posts of guys catching fish and I’m choppin at the bit to hit the hard water. I’m so desperate I just might go out Friday right after work and fish through the night!
Sorry I couldn’t be of any help!
I haven’t even been on the ice. No sympathy from me.

Boo, hoo, hoo! I have no sympathy for you! I am going to be getting out the for the first time the YEAR on Sunday! 
I have had my vexilar since Nov. 1st. Got it as an early christmas present. I got a new walleye rod for christmas along with a whole ton of spoons, and I have been tying new, or modified, patterns for ice flies that I want to try out! I should also mention that I havn’t even been fishing since the first part of Sept.! That is not for me not trying to find time, but life rolls on. You have some great looking stuff, at lest yours is getting some use. So, in summary, pity party on me and I hope that knowing that there is a guy out there who hasn’t even FISHED in over three months, almost 4, will get your through the hard times! Wow, I feel about ten times better now! Thanks Bret, you really should look at becoming a therapist. 
I don’t feel angry anymore

he could be on the geico commercial!
I dont know if this will make you feal any better but today was my 15th day in a row on the ice . Good luck this weekend..
I’ll be out saturday 
And I think I’ll throw the gear in the truck for some after work action tomorrow
Im in the same boat. I got sick on the way home from Lake of the Woods Sunday and now have had to stay off the ice until I feel better. That day can’t come soon enough!
I haven’t punched a hole since the week B4 christmas Heading to the pond tommorrow night Rumor has it the eyes are biting
big G
I am SO ready!!
Oh…wrong forum…sorry. 
Brett,
I feel you pain…but,you’re not getting any sympathy…nor will I. I’ve been off the Water (liquid or solid) since November 11 and probably won’t until spring. I had shoulder surgery and I don’t want to mess it up till everything is healed completely. That’s my choice, but I’m BOARDED TO DEATH!
You gotta stop smokin’ that crap Brian
Heal quickly but properly John
Kick some butt big G 
Dang Bret, these guys have no mercy on you.
I’ll help you. Fill the whirlpool about a third of the way up with cold water. Grab a brew, dunk your feet in while sitting on the edge….and have the family dump the ice in ’till knee deep. If you feel a slight chill, take another drink. Don’t forget to park the Marcum on the opposite corner so you can see if anything happens by….BTW – don’t hook your toes for the additional excitement! Hook removal after sobering up sucks. 
I’m dedicating sat. and sun. to the hard stuff (ice fishing, too). Bret, give me a call, I’ll be somewhere on Pool 8…maybe 7.
Maybe Sunday Chris.
Saturday has been in the making for awhile 
Randy,
I just flushed a Slender Spoon with a small rag on it……the retrieval was a blast

If I set something up in advance…life is always easier. Know what I mean??? My FW knows about Bret C. I’ve got her fooled to think that you are an ice fishing hero and to be able to grace the same slab of frozen H2O would be akin to bowing at the feet of the Pope.

I am with you Brian 
Friday morning and it is what I expected 
Come on 3:30
Go get ’em Bret, I got holes (18 of ’em in 6″ of water over the ice 4″-8″ below the water) punched last Friday, never fished them… Sunday hoping to get out to see if a couple of last years hotspots will still have some fish on ’em!!!

Bret,
This thread just goes to show that you are truly addicted to ice fishing. I think we should all take this opportunity we have to hold an intervention.
As you know, the only way to truly kick this addiction is to quit cold turkey. Just give me all of your gear and I’ll see that it’s disposed of properly.
This is for your own good.
Momma raised no quiter
Only 11am and some smart arse raised the heat around here. I hate hot. Please dear Lord make this day come to a close!!!!

Kids were complaining last night that they were bored and it was too cold to be outside. So, I fired up the pit and we roasted marsh mellows. Was actually pretty nice standing around the fire in a T-shirt, cracking a sweat, while it was about 12 degrees out. Now, if I could just have a little of that heat keeping my holes from freezing up….
Cool Randy, we use our pit in the winter on good nights also. Fresh air does the body good
Must have fed it a bit too much wood last night….a bed of coals are still going as of noon today. Might have to cook dinner tonight over it.
