Slab, I couldn't agree any more. I feel mother nature owes me big time. Last year for ice fishing, I got out once with no luck. I took a week of vacation so I could get out on the ice. It rained that whole week and killed the rest of the season.
Then I get all geared up for the walleye run. The fish came, and the water got high. Despite getting on the water about 20 times, I cought no fish not even a bite.
Now, this winter our ice fishing season is a bust. I'm ready for prime conditions and a freezer full of fish.
