I think it's about time for the Ice fishing forum to move to the top of the list. I see 81 people viewing the Ice fishing forum compared to 15 in open water. I think the cooler weather has put everyone in the mood for some ice.

In due time, I think it might be a little early yet, but I'm guessing it will be on top within the month.

LOL We're getting as bad as the retailers that put out Christmas stuff in September. I've got to admit my mind is starting to drift to the hardwater season though.

If you guys aren't fishing now you don't know what you're missing. This is possibly the best bite of the year.

if it were up to me, ice fishing would be at the top all year!! I don't open water fish, other than with the kids off the dock at the campground. I LIVE for the hard water, so bring it on!! I have noticed that since about august, the numbers viewing in the ice fishing forum have vastly outnumbered the open water viewers!!!

I think a big part of ice fishings viewers numbers almost always outnumbering the open water forums numbers is the fact there is about 75% more gear to ice fishing, and as men (and a few women) we are always looking for the newest gadgets to help us get the upper hand.

BOUGHT A NEW "8X8" PERM. BEEN DOING A COUPLE MINOR UPKEEP REPAIRS.. I AM STARTING TO LOSE SLEEP THINKING OF THE UPCOMING HARD H2O SEASON.. I LOVE ICE FISHING.. THE ADVENTURE.. LAUGHS.. BEING WITH YOUR FRIENDS.. THE SMELL OF THE AUGER ON A CRISP DAY.. PLOPPING THE TRANSDUCER IN AND SEEING A SCHOOL OF SUSSPENDED FISH ON THAT SPOT.. MAYBE SOME "FAT" CRAPPIES OR "ROUND" BLUEGILLS.. THEN TOWARDS LATE AFFTERNOON YOU LOOK AT THE SCREEN AND THERE IS ONE "BIG EYEBALL" FILLING UP THE SCREEN.. INSTEAD OF A DEPTH READING.. THE LIST GOES ON.. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN GUYS..
