I'm ready to go Ice fishing. Because of my classes last year I didn't have enough time to go. But now that I am taking 12 instead of 16 credit hours there is some free time to go around and I love Ice fishing.

Here are some old Ice fishing pics...

You would have never thought a turkey tent could have so many uses.

This was a little scary for Iowa, but I do like driving to my spot.

My new Ice hut, it is ok but a pain to set up by myself. I need to get a diffrent one.

But it sure has a lot of room.

I LOVE those mini propane heaters when I use my ice hut. Though the last couple of times I jsut sat on a bucket all bundled up. Talk about looking like an eskimo.

Guys when you cast and your bait or lure bounce off the surface of the water that's a sign that you should be skiing!

cool pics, id like to try it. Do you ever get worried about your truck on the ice like that? Im sure its not a concern but how do you know there arent weak spots in the ice somewhere?

What is all that white stuff where the dirt should be? How are you standing on water?


That's really cool, I'd love to try it someday. We don't get the weather for it out here though. :P

The ice was 2 feet thick at the thinnest point. The DNR goes out and runs test holes to check for consistency. They say to stick close to the shore and not drive out in the middle. But these were taken in mid winter so there was plenty of ice. I should have gotten pictures of the Shanty town that had 20+ trucks all lined up like a parking lot.

On the plus, the insurance company said that they cover one fall through the ice. After that you are on your own.
