The lakes are frozen, the houses are going out. Pulling my 10 x 20 out on Mille Lacs this weekend. Can't wait to get out and start living the Ice House lifestyle!! I bought a new floating underwater bait bucket at the ice show. Hate dumping minnows at the end of the weekend so it will be interesting to see how it works. You tie a weight to a line, drop it down the hole, tie the bucket (filled with your minnows) to the other end so it floats about 2 ft below the ice, and then next time you open up the holes it should be there with fresh bait acclimated to the cold and the lake. We'll see. Great to have the gas prices down just in time for Ice Fishing season, but I doubt they will stay down long. Thinking of ways to use less propane heating my house. I know when the sun is out, and it shines in my large front window that helps tremendously. I use about 20 lbs per 3 night weekend on average. Not too bad, but as prices rise as they inevitably will, using less would be nice.
Houses continue to sell at a good clip. The key to selling is to price it right the first time, and get some pictures that look good. Just had a listing with a picture inside the house, filled with "stuff". You couldn't see much of the interior space. I think it was priced right, but what a distraction!
If you come across a listing that is already sold, please let me know e-mail me with the listing info at info@fishhouseForSale.com
This 10 x 20 is still available, roomy, looks nice, and perfect for spending winter weekends ice fishing in total comfort! Click the picture above for more info.
