I ran into a couple of guys at the local tackle shop a couple of days ago that were talking about a trip they were going to make that particular evening to fish Roberts Pond through the ice! I wished them well and joked with them about being totally nuts! I consider myself to be somewhat nuts, but, not totally nuts.
Seriously, I have never ice fished at night. Has anyone else felt the need to venture out on the ice at night to drill your hole and try your luck? Am I missing something here? Geez, during the day I always send the fat guy out first! I can't imagine going out in the pitch dark to find solid ice and safe walking so as not to fall in a hole drilled by a daytime angler.
