I've heard about it , but have never been. Definitely on my bucket list. In the mean time, I have to settle for spending as much time as I can at our local BassPro.

I just picked up a used shanty, but its full of ice and snow and I don't know what condition the canvas is in. I have a hand auger. Now I need to pick up a jigging rod and a couple tip-ups, and I'll be ready for next winter.

Haa, Thats just a start, Welcome to your new addiction !! You'll see after a while, You'll always need something! Auger? To much work, need a power one. Jigs/ never enough. Rods, Reels, and the best electronics !! If you need help I will be more than happy to help you spend your money on things you do/don't need or think you may need.....Good Luck!

Yep, that bait monkey stays on your back pretty much year-round. Mine only takes a break for a little while as we head into late fall and I start chasing things with fur and feathers
