Thread: Icebreaker

I thought I wanted to get out on the Big G today myself and I did. I was happy about being out there but my gear said NO. I did nothing but fight my rod eyes freezing up. Finally gave up and went home. I was the only boat out there.

LOL...the older I get the more I wanna wait until warm weather.

I thought about fishing a gravel pit from the bank today. But realized I’m sure it’s frozen. Lol

I’ve heard there are some things to stop the eyes from freezing. Pam cooking spray, chapstick and maybe Vaseline if I remember correctly. Probably some other things as well. I’ve not had a chance to verify any of them yet.

I will be out there tomorrow. I feel like a piece of me has been missing since this cold weather rolled in.

You’ve GOT to give us a report!!That may help the rest of us a little. Or it may make it worse. Lol

Lots of that backwaters here are frozen also.

I actually tried it in a Nucanoe many years ago, in theory I thought I had it figured out, I was very wrong. Another one of those life lessons I won't forget.....
