Hmmm - let's see.
1. Don't have an auger - not yet anyway.
2. Yep, got it out and checked out what is still good and what is to be tossed out. I probably need a few more ice flies and smaller jigs.
3. Cold weather gear - I have 10 times more winter stuff than summer stuff - so no problem there, I just need to sort out the hard core ski stuff from the winter snow camping stuff(BIG difference).
4. Fish finder batteries are still on the charger from my last tube trip - so no problem there - but I need to get the spares charged up, they've been sitting unattended for about a month or two.
5. Reels are the one's I used all summer. I should check the line though and maybe even consider respooling with some of that Excaliber or Cajun stuff.
6. Boots - no problem there, I got half a dozen different ones to choose from that will all work for a day on the ice.
7. Bait ? Oh oh, I got to get a few more minnows before ice sets in. Probably should get some wax/meal worms too - just to be a little better prepared than I have been in the past. Don't have any crawdads, but I got a couple of pounds of raw shrimp on sale last spring that I never used this summer for catfishing.
8. Jet sled - still gathering ideas on that score - just checked out the photos from coldfooter's creation. Now if TOMMY GUN will post a photo of his, I'll start the thought processes going in the sled direction.
9. No GPS co-ords. I didn't think to gather them up. I'll have to use the braille search and destroy method.
10. Airboat ??? I think I'll just start with a Jet Sled.
BTW - anyone have a photo of a watta-cricket or booger or rat-finky ? I'd like to see if I have something that might be kinda close.
