Invitation to those in Florida

[IDbasser]

Come on up for some die hard fishing.

You need to forward that pic to the Idaho Tourist Commission.

Pic is a little on the dark side due to the clouds, the snowing, and wind blowing snow that is hiding the sun.

Fixed cold brutha

Actually, the picture is dark because a camera meters (reads) a scene as gray.  When it "sees" bright white, it darkens it a bit, and when it "sees" dark it brightens it.  Some cameras have a 'EV' adjustment.  A +1 setting will brighten up snow pictures nicely.

Anyway, looks like fun.  Ice took a little while to fully develop up here, due to a week long warm spell with temps in the 50°'s.  I noticed a couple of brave guys out yesterday and today with their shanties.  Not all is completely frozen, but I bet there is at least 3" where they were fishing.

[IDbasser]

Thanks, the pic does look better.

Out in the open and no shanty,been there done that only once in my 25 yrs living in Ohio. Given the invitation now I must respectfully decline. No hard feelings eh?

Yea, and when the "sand" blows it something else.

Come on up for some die hard fishing.

Thanks, but no. I will stick with the sun burn.

Dress warm and it ain't so bad.

Do you guys know what dressing warm is? ;D

[roadwarrior]

Shoes?

[IDbasser]

Shoes?

Yea, that's it

[BARON49_Northern NY]

I live up here in the frozen North and don't have anything to do with fishing through the ice!  Too cold for me...heading South for fun in the sun in a little over a month.

[Catt]

Dude when y'all gonna learn ice goes in your tea not on the ground  

[Brute]

I don't know if the bait monkey controls clothing or not, but I do not own enough clothes to keep me warm in that weather.

We have a cold front coming through today and the high will only be 73.

I just might have to go and find my long pants.

[MALTESE FALCON]

It really isn't as bad as it looks. If you have a good pair of bibs, Parka, the right socks and boots, you can fish for hours in relative comfort.............If the cursed wind isn't howling.

I'm going to introduce Grimlin to icefishing on Monday. Looking forward to meeting him.

Anybody else game????

[fivesixone]

I'd definitely be down if I wasn't so darn broke right now... :'(

[Krzkev]

I definately prefer the water in its blue state,compared to the white one.  And to have to drill down three feet just to have a chance, not for me.  I'll just wear shorts and put a little sun block on, and tough it out.

[bocabasser]

where is the portable shack that i have seen on tv? it has a mini heater, a cooler for your beverages, a portable radio. i have never seen snow,(except for when it snowed here in 1977). i doubt my body could handle that kind of cold.
