Spoken like a true warm weather guy Dave! Ice fishing is awesome! you can get to places that are otherwise really hard to reach. you don't get the crowds, and statistically a lot of the big fish are caught in winter! you haven't fished til you have caught a 5 pound landlocked on a jigging pole the thickness of a pencil lead! Having said that, the snow, the wind, the cold can really suck. But, they now make portable shanty's that kickass! I mean they are light, mobile, comfortable and easy to heat. I will always be a spin fisherman first, but the hard water can really be awesome too! and when you live in maine where we have 9 months of winter and 3 months of bad sledding, you learn to get out n fish! I spin fish all year round, but getting to the river is not always easy at 20 below!
