Get out on that lawn and start pitching to the edge of the ice. Doubt you’ll catch anything, but it’ll sure feel nice to try ( and be good practice too).

6poundbass has already wet a line down at the association park. He struck out but enjoyed casting again. 

So jealous of the view.. the snow.. not so much  Hope you get an early melt!  

A little Bowie I picked up at SMKW today. 

here's one I picked up years ago from the same vendor

Marble's Woodsman A-2 (tool steel - it's freaking sharp)

 

My workout for the day. Delivered 4 tons of 2” thick flagstone to the landing for an island job today. Tomorrow I’m moving it all across the ice to the island cottage, where I’ll use it to build stone steps, once the ice goes and it warms up enough to mix mortar and lay stone. It’s not quite the same as an @A-Jay workout, but still gets the blood pumping ?.

You and I both know that type of deal seperates the men from boys.  You are The Man.

Hope we get to see the finished product.

Thanks. I’ll try to remember to get a pic of it when I’m done, won’t likely be for another month at least though. Here’s a pic of the bottom half I built a few years ago. They’ve added an extension onto the existing wood deck, so now I have to continue the steps up the hill another 30’ or so. Luckily it’s pretty much all bare bedrock so there’s not a lot of prep work. Sorry for the sideways pic, but you get the idea of what it looks like.

Nice fish @Ski, stay on those big girls! I might suggest posting some of those pics on the “latest catch picture” thread as well cause you’ve been on a roll sir!

As my father would say “old-man strong”.....much respect!

This sign is on a pump at a gas station I go to.

Finished moving the last of my materials to another island job today. This time it was 480 bricks to repair a chimney once the ice goes out. Today was definitely my last day on the ice. This shove went across the entire lake, and there was only one spot about 50yds long where I could safely get across. Supposed to get quite warm starting this weekend so hopefully I’ll be boating within a couple weeks.
