Thats all of em! :shrug:
I never even dug out my ice fishing gear once to consider going. I never heard any good reports of anyone doing any good, so I just had no further interest for some reason.
I kept thinking about setting out there not catching anything and thinking about all the other things I could or should, be doing instead. :laf:
Lol.
Well, all I can say is that 'the BIG one' did not get away!
Jim - I can sympathize with you as I feel the same.

A part of that reluctance to go out as we age, is wisdom: if experience tells us the odds of success are too low to make it worth the effort, we learn to do something more worthwhile and enjoyable. That's not all bad, though I wish we all had the unmeasured headlong pursuit we had as young men, with just a smidge of the wisdom we have now! :laf:

A couple buddies wanted to go fishing this winter on the ice. Last year was the first year in a while we could here around home. This year we had ice on one local lake for about a week and most of that was iffy. one side of the small lake was good and the other was open. Honestly with the price of fuel oil I was more then happy to not spend anytime out on the ice. I spent a good bit of january out hunting with the flintlock instead.
