Wonder when Meijers will have their 1/2 off sale this year. I need a tip up, a few extra rods and maybe a Vex??? 
"Saved my skin" today !
BOOOOOY did I luck out today. My resistance was down.
I headed to Bass Pro Shops to pick up a new tip up and a couple of items for my first trip out on the ice this year. I was surprised at just how little they actually have left in the way of ice gear ! I'd found what I came for and had it in my basket but decided to "mosey on over" to the Marine department where they keep the Vexilars. Just to drool for a while. But when I got there they were all gone. They do have a few of the new Lowrance models that are trying to do the same thing but I don't think they're as good. (And they're about the SAME PRICE !) I tell ya, I'm VERY lucky because if they'd had one there I don't know if I could have fought the urge ! I'd have been in TROUBLE ! It's just as well, I didn't feel like sleeping on the couch for an indefinite period anyway. And I'd already had the "justification" all worked out too.

Yeah Steve, I like Meijers 1/2 off sale too for ice gear. But I'd be willing to bet that just like last year, Vex's and U/W Cams won't be included.
LMAO!!!!!!! Just tell her how much better you would be eating ........Patch

Hey, that's a GOOD one Patch. Hadn't even thought of that angle ! Just another one to add to the arsenal.
You guys ar sissys hiding this stuff from your wives. I just get it, bring it home and let her know who pays the bills!
