why sleep when there is ice to fish on? I just said this in another thread, but i checked this morning in STL, and there was still 5" ice out there....I'm making some ramshackle tip-ups tonight our of pvc and heading out to my favorite spot in Edwardsville, IL on saturday afternoon.
Ought to be a blast, the fish here are definitely NOT ice-trained yet. In a pond just of the mississippi in the middle of our last big freeze i got a good 7 lb bass on one of these garage-style tip-ups and a nightcrawler.
