[#385000]My little fishing buddy and myself were the first ones to do brodies in 2005 at the Strawberry Marina parking lot,cool huh!
It didn't get any better than that. I forgot my digicamera(which was a good thing). We trail blazed thru 3 Fn feet of snow and slush(I need to lighten my sled). I went thru the ice up to my hip(not a problem). And, we only caught 4 fish![blush]
Stepping in someone's 10" hole up to my hip was interesting. We stayed another six hours just in case there were fish in this pond. Luckily, I put on my water resistant bibs at the truck. Soaked one leg real good and my brand new Rangerboat jacket. Off they went on to my tent, I quickley put on fleece hoodie and my coveralls. A little while later I felt a small trickle of water in my boot. Oh well, just a wet sock. At least my camera stayed home and was dry. Good thing I bring a half-dozen pair of gloves too, we went thru four pairs.
Nuthin' speical about the lack of fish, too many people!
