Skunked at winter camp this year!!

Man, we got totally skunked on our annual ice fishing trip this year. Not one flag in 3 solid days of fishing!!! I cant believe it, talked to a few guys and they said the bite just up and died about a week prior. We still had a great time as usual. Coldest trip in the 13 years we've made it! -26 on the thermometer with 40mph winds. The woodstove barely kept up!!

And now for a little rant:

Unfortunately what used to be the typical "Adirondack Lake Camp" is now a $500,000 mega cabin with big screen TV's and all the toys, and Jersey plates in the driveway of course. No one takes their docks out of the water anymore, instead they just keep a circulator running ALL WINTER! We've got several of these on either side of us and it just makes a mess of the shoreline. For about 200 yds out we had a couple inches if slop and water on top of 26"+ of pure black ice. Really chapped my cheeks if you know what I mean.
