Eh, beer is just a small part of the fun when fishing. I like trips when action is so good, there is no time to drink. For other times, pass me a cold one.

Exactly. Beer is just another tool in the arsenal for having fun.

Newguy, have you checked the nut that's under the spool? I have some ice reels that get that way and the spool loosens up and wobbles around.

I'd love a day with so much action there's no time to drink. but in the microbrew capital of the world one's gotta try the lil local guys from time to time (or every time)

Go hit early ice right now and you won't be able to finish your coffee or whiskey.

Well, maybe I should revise my comment a little bit... Anyhow, I know we are having a good fishing session when a friend of mine hasn't smoked in 2-3 hours. :biggrin1:

because I've fallen through where it's so thin?

I've got zero ice fishing gear or knowledge. hoping to go do some shore fishing sometime in the next week or two. work schedule is brutal.

offer still stands to bring the beer...I'll even bring the cheap beer if that's the preference

ice in particular is something I'd rather do with some guidance.

 

[DoctorDooom]

I'm oblivious. The plan is to learn this year. Best of luck man

 

[dallasdb]

Last year was my first year on the ice. It's a blast.

New guy where are you located?

 

[Thenewguy76]

se denver, not horribly far from cherry creek res (where I have caught nothing over 9" ever....).

 

[dallasdb]

If you're not on a boat that's a tough reservoir to crack.

 

[Thenewguy76]

it's not my favorite place on earth. I'd rather spend a day at chatfield not catching anything than 3 hours at cherry creek not catching anything.

 

[Zman]

One day one or more of you should take me up on my offer to bring beer fishing. There is a world of joy beyond bad beer...

Well if the Saturday morning breakfast club starts up again ice fishing you can tag along if you want...thank God that is a few weeks away as I am not desperate enough to go ice fishing yet...there are some places that dont freeze up into January that I want to hit yet...Grababrewski will gladly drink your beer...location will probably be Atown or Creek...
