Invitation to those in Florida 2025

IDbasser reply :

Come on up for some die hard fishing.

roadwarrior reply :

You need to forward that pic to the Idaho Tourist Commission.

IDbasser reply :

Pic is a little on the dark side due to the clouds, the snowing, and wind blowing snow that is hiding the sun.

J Francho reply :

Fixed cold brutha

Actually, the picture is dark because a camera meters (reads) a scene as gray. When it "sees" bright white, it darkens it a bit, and when it "sees" dark it brightens it. Some cameras have a 'EV' adjustment. A +1 setting will brighten up snow pictures nicely.

Anyway, looks like fun. Ice took a little while to fully develop up here, due to a week long warm spell with temps in the 50°'s. I noticed a couple of brave guys out yesterday and today with their shanties. Not all is completely frozen, but I bet there is at least 3" where they were fishing.

IDbasser reply :

Thanks, the pic does look better.

Bassin_Fin@tic reply :

Out in the open and no shanty,been there done that only once in my 25 yrs living in Ohio. Given the invitation now I must respectfully decline. No hard feelings eh?

BARON49_Northern NY reply :

I live up here in the frozen North and don't have anything to do with fishing through the ice! Too cold for me...heading South for fun in the sun in a little over a month.

Catt reply :

Dude when y'all gonna learn ice goes in your tea not on the ground

Brute reply :

I don't know if the bait monkey controls clothing or not, but I do not own enough clothes to keep me warm in that weather.

We have a cold front coming through today and the high will only be 73.

I just might have to go and find my long pants.

MALTESE FALCON reply :

It really isn't as bad as it looks. If you have a good pair of bibs, Parka, the right socks and boots, you can fish for hours in relative comfort.............If the cursed wind isn't howling.

I'm going to introduce Grimlin to icefishing on Monday. Looking forward to meeting him.

Anybody else game????

fivesixone reply :

I'd definitely be down if I wasn't so darn broke right now... :'(

Krzkev reply :

I definately prefer the water in its blue state,compared to the white one. And to have to drill down three feet just to have a chance, not for me. I'll just wear shorts and put a little sun block on, and tough it out.

bocabasser reply :

where is the portable shack that i have seen on tv? it has a mini heater, a cooler for your beverages, a portable radio. i have never seen snow,(except for when it snowed here in 1977). i doubt my body could handle that kind of cold.

tand reply :

Sorry i'll have to say no...even if it means all I catch is dinks!!!

Glenn reply :

Did you say the ice was only 3" thick?! That's livin' on the edge.

No, the ice is 10-12 inches in this pic. It really isn't too bad out there if you are properly dressed.

FishinDaddy reply :

Properly dressed for fishing means tee shirt, shorts and flip flops. ;D

J Francho reply :

I prefer open water to holes in ice. The big rivers can more dangerous than thin ice though: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1229450146

GonzoFishing reply :

Guess you dont have to buy ice to keep the brews cold ;D
