The fishing thread ( not about fish fertilizer)

I got a bunch of cod inshore this year, but they are a no no in mass bay

Numbers seem to be increasing, maybe they will come off the list

Thats some low budget shit. Used to rent some 10 man shanties up in maine.
Insulated with woodstoves, and an rv making hot food on the shore. They would cut the ice with chainsaws as the tide went out to prevent splitting. We would do the night tides, like 7 to 7
Rewards were buckets of smelt and a raging hangover

Low budget?! My 3i cost me about 500 bucks 6years ago. I also have a 1man flip over clam. Those big shanties are for the lazy fisherman. I lug all my shit out set up and tear down cut my own holes, sometimes move multiple times a day. I run a buddy heater on a 5lber and I bring my jetboil on longer trips and get some dehydrated meals. That's true fishing. Renting a shanty and getting a ride out on a sled by the operator is just the lazy man's game of ice fishing. Good if you aren't into fishing and just getting out with the kids or something. But I'm hardcore. Balls deep or bust.
Smelt we catch in April when they run. You can ice fish them here too but super boring.
