The itch

[LonewolfNopack]

Who all has the itch already? Hitting me hard this year.

 

[giles]

Yup! I’m ready for some hard water.

 

[LonewolfNopack]

Guess it's just me and you. I didnt know you ice fished.

 

[MoonLab]

Never done it. I'm planning on it soon.

 

[Big_Holla]

We will probably get out a couple times up here.

 

[Hedgelj]

I ice fish with a buddy.

 

[giles]

I lived in Alaska for 10 years...yeah, I ice fish.

 

[giles]

I also grew up on Lake Erie during the 80’s. Back when it used to get hard every year.

 

[jagermeister]

I think about ice fishing 12 months of the year. Lol. Can't wait.

 

[OhioWhiteTails]

Bring it on! No better way to spend the coldest part of the year!

Don’t forget a couple of boys you promised this year!

I honestly thought Giles just visited this thread because it was called "The Itch" and he thought it was about how to get rid of clymidia

I’m confused, what’s it about?

 

[giles]

I thought this was about after fishing with “the perfect fishing partner”.

We need a TOO outing in that state up north......late Feb?

 

[LonewolfNopack]

I fished Lake Mitchell near Cadillac last year.

I'm up for any and all suggestions. The hardest part is always setting a date and doing it no matter the weather or fishing.

It’s kinda hard to have an ice fishing outing without the right weather though lol. I’m all for an outing, but I’m not driving north unless there’s good ice to be fished on. It’s usually not practical to plan an ice trip more than 2-3 weeks in advance. The ice and weather conditions are just too unpredictable, especially on the big water. Now if it’s simply a walk out and panfish kind of trip, that’s a different story. But you don’t usually have to go north to make that happen either.

Saginaw, Houghton, Higgins, Cadillac, Mitchell... all good lakes that are relatively close to the border. I am partial to Saginaw Bay but that’s just me. The access and local hospitality is tough to beat.
