Me neither yet, ice fishing for me really takes off just before March 1st until the 15 foot plank wont work any more, I'll be on the ice somewhere until the middle of April.

Only ice I want to see is in the bottom of my glass with one of them little umbrellas stuck in it!  Bring on toes dangling off the end of the dock water..

Did you catch anything?
I love Ice fishing as well but i do enjoy the evening in a boat, listening to loons and just taking it all in, but i guess you can do the same on ice, listening to the lake make ice the cry of a wolf, so its all good

Stop it! :banghead:

I feel the same way! Before we know it the water will be open. I know more and more are starting to hit the River down near Red Wing. Too cold for this guy but those that are willing it is there. Me personally, I'm just excited for a nice warm evening up on Mille Lacs! Crappies off the dock and walleyes on the rocks! That first month of the season the fish seem to jump in your boat!
