Looking forward to hopefully renting a shack from you this winter for a day to get some perch.. Are the prices on the website still current? 

Here's to a good season. :icefishing:

You don't want that skim ice anyways.. Next snowfall it would be crap. Wait for the cold snap

Anyone heading out there before a cold snap should write a suicide note first. Crooksy was that you out in the otter and the 2 horse

Is all this rain going to wreck the ice ?

Possibly, surely not going to make it any better in the short term. 

 

I could be wrong though... I'm still new to this ice fishing stuff.

Won't wreck the ice persay, melt the snow for sure and possibly lose a little ice thickness but forecast is calling for colder temps for next couple weeks which will build the ice up fast out there.
