Yeah I can't wait. I really only got into it a couple of years ago. Started out with just the essentials, hand auger, pole, and bucket. I have a shanty and a heater now so its that much more enjoyable. Its great to cure that cabin fever that sets in over the winter. Plus its when I really stock my freezer with gills and crappie since during the warm months I rarely pull out the gill pole because chasing the bass is too much fun. I know many of the members on here are from the southern states but it would be great to chat with the northerners about ice fishing. Just like regular fishing sharing tips and techniques is equally as valuable if not more when ice fishing. Maybe Jim will open up a section for us to post in :wink:
