Is It OVER?

[quackpot]

Took part of the stuff out of the truck this evening. Even if we get ice I don't think it will be enough for a shanty. Come on Mother Nature prove me wrong.

Packing it all up for the year.  Time to start some seeds and get ready for the spring and summer garden.  Lots of money and time wrapped up in all this stuff.

I'm afraid looking at the forecast that it's done.    I unloaded my truck this afternoon but didn't put the gear totally away in the basement for the season just yet. It's hanging out in the garage for now.  But if we don't have ice in a couple weeks, I'll be packing away for next year so I dont have to move anything to get the bass boat out!

All my ice gear is now packed away for the 2016/2017 season.  There are thunderstorms rolling through right now and the temp is 57F.  Is this the first week of February or the first week of March or possibly April?  This has been a horrible season for ice fisherman.

 I finally concede to another disappointing end to another season. IT IS OVER!!! Rain and 50 + degrees here today in NE OHIO. 😐🖕

Am not ready to give up yet but did see the fat lady arriving backstage to warm up.

yep my gear is up, not waiting for any more ice this season.  just a weird season like last summer had all those 90 deg days , the heat did weird things to the lake and now its time too break out the boat. see ya out there

I just finished putting away everything but a couple rods and my tackle bag for dock fishing. It's over.

Well I hate to say it but I am pretty sure I heard the fat lady singing last night.

All my gear is up for the season.  I have a couple ice rods and a few lures in my truck for Jon boat fishing. Sometimes I ice fish out of that. Hoping to get a couple hours in Friday morning on the old Jon boat, we'll see. But ice is done!  Sadly, only got 1 trip in this year.

Yes and I need to get it!!  Some of those things I'll be using for spring crappie. I use my ice tackle all year long on crappie. Not the rods usually, but all my ice tackle!!

I use my ice rods all year for crappies and saugeyes. Drop the Vex over the side of the boat and ice fish with no ice. Even use my ice rods perch fishing on Erie when it is calm enough.
