Thread: Dang waiting on ice fishing

Waiting on some hard water to get out on. Anyone else wanting to get out ice fishing ? I know a few of the guys up North enjoy it. Not looking for any honey holes but would love to meet some new friends. I have all of my own gear.

Anticipating ice, too.

nope hoping for some 50/55 deg days to get boat back out

I'm with you, but may have to head do Alabama to accomplish getting the boat wet. Looks like a long stretch of freezing weather starting next week.

You know I'm down! Or we need to plan a trip up north like we was talking!

Easy peasy to build a stainless steel v’d front cutter for breaking ice to fish with da boat! Or better yet, alittle C4 or Dinomite goes a long way!

It's a shame this weather isn't gonna hold. I have been locked up here at the ranch since Tuesday.

55 first of the week and Christmas Day. Need to get out myself and test the new Mega 360.

I needed an ice breaker on Lemon yesterday. Went over there and the ramp was froze in. I walked about 5 foot out on the ice and it only cracked .

WOW! As I planned on Lemon Thursday. I went over to West Boggs today, 10-12 boats on the water and tried to get my new Mega 360 to work to set up and dial in and nothing but problems as for over 3 hrs, floated on the lake checking every imaginable angle out with 2 different idiot screens popping up telling me to retract it or place in the water when it was in the water. Got back home and checked out power to all connections with dang power probes. Had boat all tore up again, even reset all default settings on all helix units messing those settings up again. Fiannly got on bbc forum, contacted Wayne, the Humminbird guru, and after explaining it all to him, only thing he could think of was to clean the 2 itty bitty wet water probes on top of the puck off, they turn it on and off as you place it into water. so I took dawn dish soap and a clean bucket of water out, washed them off, stuck the Mega 360 in a 5 gal bucket of water and it worked like a charm. Will spend tomoorow putting boat back together and working on re setting everything again and find some water Thursday to play with the new Mega 360, but won’t go to Lemon.
