With all the talk about this being a horrible winter coming up I was wondering what everyone thinks about the possibilities for the upcoming season. Will it be more or less productive, longer or shorter, snowy or not?   I'm hoping for a nice long productive season although I might not get to fish as much this year because it looks like I might have one of the busiest years in the winter I've had. Still will fish, but maybe not 5 times a week like the last 2 years!  ;D

Well I see I'm not the only one anxious for hard water. I can't wait and already have started making plans. I don't know what it is about ice fishing but I truly enjoy it more than any other type of fishing. This will be my third year and best year yet I'm hoping.

I have never made it up to Lake Erie to ice fish but it's a must this year. I'm trying to figure out where to stay and where most walk out from. I've looked at the hotel / motels and really I don't need anything fancy just want to be close to where everyone walks out.

I keep hearing about the winter being warmer than normal which to me means too much snow so I voted shorter. I hope I'm wrong.

Ĺiving in the buckeye state I don't think anyone knows what the weather will do next week much less a few months from now. All I know is I am jacked up for my second ice season. It needs to get here so i can stop buying ice fishing stuff and start using it. My e bay account is smoking. Lol.
 Also would love to hit erie on the ice. May go out with a guide a time or two if I can't find someone to tag along with. Not something I wanna try on my own the first time. But  seeing those pics of all the slobs coming through the ice last winter sure got me interested. I can't wait.
Anyway, back to ebay.lol.

The start of football season is upon us so ice fishing is just around the corner. Yea! Tried to vote for a longer season but it wouldn't let me vote. Can't wait to get back on Erie. The dock tourneys should start in Nov. (hopefully). I would rather ice fish than soft water fish. There is just something magical about pulling fish through a hole in the ice and you have to find the fish instead of drifting or trolling until you locate fish. Bring on the ice.

I'm going to say about the same time I guessed safe ice last year.
the time you spend fishing cannot be deducted from your life...
