In years past, I would go to the NPS in SLC and find one for a few dollars but things have changed there, it seems. Only found two, and the cheapest one there was $25, guess they no longer give discounts, like they use to do on certain days, guess i'm done going down there but the good news was gas prices near there, at Maverick, was only 3.19 a gallon. Its a little to far to go, but since I was down there anyway, I couldn't pass it up. I decided I could find a battery for $25 on line, so I started looking this morning and found one but then I started wondering what the price a lithium battery would be. I found one for $35 and that included shipping. I know it's still a month or two away but why wait until the last minute. How about any of you, are you ready for ice fishing season?
I'm ready gear wise, at least for early ice. Usually just run minimal tackle and gear early on. Anxious to get out. Getting off to a slow start. Many years im able to squeeze a few trips in before Halloween. Always tweaking and trying new setups for longer outings during the heart of the season. Hopefully we get better ice this year.
