It's 2015 and we have been posting on last years thread. Since the traffic seems to be picking up a bit. It's time to officially start the new seasons discussion on this years thread. I'm excited for another season of course. And I too have been rereading the last few years posts to create more ideas, fan my anticipation, and gain some more incite to this addicting sport. It would be good to see a more "normal season" this year. But that isn't likely to be the case. It would seem that every year there is always something that mother nature throws at us to make us wonder what's really going on. So lets start the conversation everyone!
Who's ready to go?

Sadly, I've been too busy to ice fish at all so far this season. But I might finally be able to steal some time.....hint hint.

I'm ready. Tired of cold hands and ice fishing. Based on my journal I've been on this ice 29 times this year. Gotta do something to kill time between open water seasons.
Hoping for an early or, at least, normal spring.

Vee, I will go where ever the fish are biting. I'm pretty flexible. But the closer the better for me. The winter is so hard to get away from work. Snow and cold makes people hungry for pizzas you know.
The reality is like this....in a couple weeks it will be March already. Let the big melt start and it won't be long after that and we all will be chomping at the bit to race on out to our favorite spots!

Back in the 70's as a "kid" I was lucky enough to see a run on the little sucker strong enough to push themselves out of the water an on to shore. We filled coolers by hand just as this video shows. Cold but unbelievable! OOOHHH the dream of seeing it again!!!!
