[#0000FF]There were several reasons why I "slipped away" from ice fishing. But it weren't just the cold. Mostly wanted to avoid re-injuring a knee that had suffered from a couple of slips on past ice trips...even with ice cleats. That and the ice fishing on all my fave spots kinda sucks these days compared to days of old.

[#0000FF]I have the layering "down pat". I was out there all day today with complete comfort. Well...almost complete. I made good use of the hand warmers. But feet and legs stayed warm and cozy with about 3 well-chosen layers.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Yeah, I have slipped on ice while trying to launch in icy shore conditions. So I have eliminated some of my previous ice-breaker type trips in the tube. I'd like to think that I have growed a bit wiser in my advanced years. But then, thinking is above my pay grade.
