We have between 2 to 3 feet of snow between the house and the storage shed. My trailor tires need a little air from the winter rest. Did I say I think I'm crazy for living here. Makes me want to fish every chance I get, cause it isn't as many times as you.

Nice boat hunter. Thats how I like to do my hard water fishing.
Course around here the hard water isn't that thick, to get it out there. Got to use some thing much smaller.

Where does the big pile of augered up ice chips and water go in that boat?

I stopped by the little lake close to here. The hot springs have melted one little part where the bluegill stay, the rest is still froze hard. When I got there, a warden stopped and watched two kids fishing for bluegill, with his binoculars. Then he took off down the trail after them. I didn't see any laws being broken, but he was sure excited. Nothing like catching the first fisherman of the season, I guess.

hunter63 Shoot that Boat of yours is way too nice.And it would sink around here.

If it gets that cold I go to the river where the water stays 55 degreees year round.

LOL, Pretty cool rig.
Well, sad to say it doesn't belong to me, I'd be the one sitting on a bucket, freezing my a** off. If it was mine, I wouldn't leave it.
Lot of them around though.
In Minn./Northern Wi, they have sleeping quarters and rent them out by the week.

But it will be a while before I can get my boat out, parked next to the garage, with a 3 ft high snow/ice pile on top.
I just tired of winter and wishing it was me saying "I just took the boat out."

We rented a huge house on Lake of the Woods one winter. Actually got into some decent walleyes in between card games....Great time.
