The real villain is looking at you.  The last hero was just not true.  If everything works out in the end.  It's because all things make amends.

There's lots to do on the ice...outdoor snow versions of any sport you like.  snow volleyball, snow soccer,  snow golf, snow powerball, etc.,...

kite flying, sled drag racing, or just plain skidding your vehicle on the ice... ;D

Of which some of these activities are more dangerous than others and it may be life threatening to others including oneself.  So use discrepancies and be safe.

If you sit in your tent and have a generator outside to power the TV inside to watch some football while having a hole in the ice, I'm game. 

Fishing from a hole is like putting a line down your sewer and catching mystery fish.

I have a Wicked Ice rod in UL power.  It's cheap like $20 when I bought it.  Trying to get used to such short handle on a fishing rod.

Same thing about the St. Croix Mojo Ice rods...weird unique rod handle.  Feels a little off because it's so different.

Today is the day to go out ice fishing!!! where?  White Bear, St. Croix, or Forest Lake!  :D

I will be packing my stuff in the truck.  Will be walking out on the ice, since I have no idea how thick ice is now.

Reporting back...I am still alive.

I went to White Bear Lake...close to home.

I was really testing out my Rigid Octane drill and wanted to see what all the hype is about using battery powered hand drills.   Well it works.  It worked a lot better than I thought.  In fact I thought I lost my auger down the ice hole several times, but it was still all there.

Ice is about 10-12 inches.  It should be safe for full sized trucks soon.  But remember ice is never 100% safe.

I cannot choose the good days off to go ice fishing.  I just simply have to choose to go or not to go.

Awe heck...going on my next day off.

I sure hate getting my lines crossed by them bank fishing guys who come out by the droves.  ;D

It's like winter makes them bad casting and they need a few months to get it right.

No line tangles in winter time unless, fish do it to you.

I fish from a kayak.  So, I pretty much have the whole lake to myself.
