On our lake where the boat is just a turn of the hoist crank away, boat for sure. But when I look at all the Michigan lakes, gimme hard water.

Sorry boys, but I'm all in on soft water. A season where I can float all the gear I want with me to any place I want to fish. As soon as I have to drag it or drill it, I become a minimalist and leave most of my stuff it at home.

i gotta say ice. i like fishing in the spring too, but ice has it.
It's getting outside and sometimes maybe it's a personal challenge standing out there when its 8 degrees out with a wind and trying to catch fish.
ice fishing should be simple, and for me it is. I personally dont see a lot of the new things out there nowadays

Soft water for me too.
Wanna make a half mile move? Hit the button to raise the electric anchor and grab the teach pendent for the iPilot and say go. When it beeps drop the anchor or hit spot lock...the side finder sonar will tell me if I'm riding by a big school of fish on the way to the next spot and I can always stop on the way.
Ice fishing is just a lot of work anymore. It come with age guys so don't be alarmed!

Yes Sir!!! There are 2 negatives I will admit. Loosing big fish at the hole and big pressure cracks on a quad. The good out weighs the bad though by a big margin.

Soft hands down. I used to be a hardcore ice fisherman but even with all the toys it's a lot of work at times, especially if I'm going solo. I find myself scouting for deer much more than I used to and the best times to scout is as soon as the deer season is closed. I'll get out ice fishing a half dozen times each winter and that's enough for me. It probably helps that I have a great hook up fishing in the Gulf during the winter months.
The season when I'm catching fish......probably ice fishing, but the season is way too short.
