Title: Bucket list
Post by: Ntoiceman36 on November 30, 2020, 06:01:49 PM
So I was sitting here after a long day of work just staring out my window watching the snow begin to fall. My mind began to drift away, I started dreaming of a landscape , covered in snow and lakes all frozen over with solid clear ice. I'm right where I want to be. Share with us your dream trip.  If  you could go anywhere this ice season where would it be, lake Erie, Minnesota,  Canada.  Share your thoughts and let's go there together. Positive thoughts equal Positive results.  Soon we will be drilling some holes.

Not sure why but would like to fish the Great Slave Lake in Northwest Territories. Closer to home wouldn't mind going to Green Bay and fishing Lake Michigan. Even closer to home think it is called Shadow or Silver Lake in NY or try some of the lake in Pa which are closer than that state up north.

Cascade Lake, Idaho to chase 2 to 3 lb. perch is my top choice. Saginaw Bay and Green Bay would be nice too. Hopefully Erie will freeze and be a great substitute. I'll settle for Indian and Buckeye. Still hoping for a long ice season.

I'm not as experienced as a lot of guys here and I only ice fish a handful of times per season, but I'd love to spend 2 weeks in a high end fish house waaaaay up north camping on the ice.

Equipped with all the tackle I could ever want to try,  just trying everything out.
Learning every bait, rod, reel, line, technique, augers, electronics, etc...

Never watching the clock, just focused on fishing for 2 straight weeks.

No internet, no tv. 
Nothing "important" on my mind.

Some classic rock playing low in the background.  Maybe old Chicago with that sweet horn section or some Doobie Brothers when Tommy Johnston was their lead singer.

Smoking fat cigars and sipping on some Tennesee peach whiskey with iced tea.

1 phone call to the wife before bed so she knows my big a$$ hasn't had a heart attack, and so I can share my adventure with her and tell her how lucky and happy I am.
