Awww man.... :(

The ice-cracking thing is a little un-nerving. I remember the first time we took a friend who had grown up outside of Amarillo out on the lake... heh.

Yeah, the first time I saw a pic of 100+ trucks and shacks on a lake I was asking them, "you actually drive out on the ice?!?!"

Ha! I bet that would make you wonder about the sanity of all those people. You are generally safe to drive a vehicle on 14 inches of ice, but I like a bit more. We are between 3 and 4 feet on most parts of the lake here right now, but there are still places by the bridges and other areas with decent current that are much thinner.

Ice-fishing is historically incredibly important. You can catch fresh protein that way pretty much all winter long... when most birds worth eating are long gone and deer are pretty hard to find, and scrawny at best. It's a lot easier than tromping around all day in the snow looking for a couple squirrels or bunnies.

What are ya talkin' about? There are stores everywhere with meat. No, I maintain it was for personal time!

Exactly.
 
While driving the air boat around in the winter time we always love to buzz by the shanty's on the ice. It tends to piss off many an ice fisher.
 
LOL, And thats why im not a people person right there.

We use to hate the a-holes in air boats or even just big boats that purposely came by us fishing messing everything up.

We had a few boats when i was growing up, speed boat for skiing, salt water boat for deep sea fishing, a few kayaks and a john boat. We ALWAYS fished, but never disrupted anyone else fishing. If we were taking the big boat out just cruising or skiing or something like that we would always slow down around fishers or just avoid their area all together.

It's called a shack or shanty. Some folks go completely bonkers with 'em... generators, heaters, TV's, the whole nine yards. At the peak of the season you'll see hundreds of 'em on the lakes in WI and MN.

On a related note, I used to see posters up north for "IceHole" peppermint schnapps that depicted two guys ice-fishing. The caption read,

"How come Bob doesn't come fishing with us?"

"His wife lets him drink at home."

:D

Good points James.

Interesting they are called ice shacks and shanties down your way. In Ontario they're referred to as ice huts.
 
Everyone we need to wish Crimson a big happy birthday today!!!

Happy birthday brother, hope your enjoying the day!!

Now thats 30 hits a piece or combined? :D

No problem bud!

It took me a good half hour re-wording it to try and not cause problems LOL I kept thinking, How do i say this in a NICE way :)

Im the first to admit i have a bad temper and can be a total A-hole, but normally it takes someone else approaching me to find this out. I dont go out and try and mess with other people. Hell i try and avoid them if possible.
 
My dad always used to say, better to be an A-Hole, than a Whole-A, of course he also said, I would rather be a Smart-A than a Dumb-A, and when I said that in school, I still got chewed out..lol
 
OK, is anyone else watching True Detective? This is perhaps the best series on TV at the moment and it will end next Sunday.

And one more reason that True Detective is brilliant. From the soundtrack of the seventh episode:

I started it, but HATE waiting a week for another episode so im just waiting for the season to end and then ill watch it from start to finish.

I do that with most shows these days... Which sometimes leaves me watching older or less interesting stuff while i wait on a season to end.
