We had a snowmobile to get us out and back and it was still brutal. 4 inches of slush under 2 ft of snow.....with 18 inches of solid ice under that. Auger pretty much bottomed out drilling holes. We all decided that if it's like this next year, we will postpone or reschedule as long as the house rental will adjust. I like to ice fish but that was just nuts. That experience alone makes me not even want to attempt to fish locally.....I could care less if I ice fished again this year. Well, maybe I would like to get out locally for one last trip, but I will pick my battles!!
Snow shoes did keep me above the slop of the slush. Made it more tolerable for sure.
I'm winded just thinking about it writing this post....
Geeees , I got winded reading it! LOL
