Hi Everybody.
My name is Tim and I live in Mentor - about 30 minutes eat of Cleveland.
I have not been on the ice for something close to 30 years, since I was a teenager. Got the itch to try it again so I have been gearing up and reading up all I can. Got some buddies from work fired up about it too. We are all looking forward to it. We are all a bit older now so I bought a pop-up shelter to get us out of the wind. A hand auger and a bunch of other goodies, including some safety gear.
Hoping to learn a few things from you all, and maybe even be able to contribute something worthwhile here and there as well. I'll surely be checking in for the latest ice condition reports - and fishing reports too! I hope we get some good ice this year so we can get some use out of the new toys. It seems we don't usually get a whole lot of ice some years.
Anyhow thanks for letting me join in with you all here.
(praying for ice now)
