With the ice getting closer(I hope) I thought I would see what everyones goals were for this season.

Same like every year, catch more fish and to not fall through the ice

masoneddie · « **Reply #2 on:** Nov 01, 2014, 05:35 AM »

I'll second that one MuskieWrangler!!
Also looking to ice an 11" or plus Bluegill this season for the wall......that's been quite a challenge for a long time now!

To just enjoy every day on the ice. Become more knowledgeable, and hopefully a better fisherman. Try some new methods, and explore some new lakes. Meet some new people, and have fun. Also, not falling in.

I would like to try some different lakes myself. I would like to catch a walleye as well, I've caught them in open water but never even targeted them during ice season. Last but certainly not least is fish more this ice season. Have a safe season and good luck.

Well if everyone wants to meet someone new maybe IL, WI, and NY need to come to NE.

masoneddie · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 01, 2014, 01:32 PM »

maybe 1 or 2

NEicebuster · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 02, 2014, 07:02 PM »

Yep I agree with medic.

Flint · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 02, 2014, 07:39 PM »

So is that one or two to mean yes or you might get one if you are lucky. I only ever caught one in KS as they are rare as hens teeth.

JKL · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 02, 2014, 08:14 PM »

You can find yellow perch in several Nebraska lakes, but not all.

NEicebuster · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 02, 2014, 08:24 PM »

Which lakes are the best in Nebraska for good perch?

jthod · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 03, 2014, 01:27 AM »

Stay dry and outfish selfbfrom last year. I learned a lot last year, and lots over the off season.

Fish every weekend that there is safe ice

hardh2ofish · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 11, 2014, 02:45 PM »

My only goal this year is a 40"+ pike from Nebraska waters. If I get wet I get wet. I guess as long as I get in......hope I get out!

da man cave shack · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 11, 2014, 02:51 PM »

Get on the ice and just have fun.

Bigassbassman · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 11, 2014, 03:01 PM »

Ice fish in two new states.

sandhillguy · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 12, 2014, 02:21 AM »

Just getting into the walleye the last couple years also, would love to put 6+ pounder on the ice this year, gettin serious about it!!

Bigpoleti · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 15, 2014, 12:23 PM »

I would like to get a few limits of some big Gills and crappie this year. It seems like last year I could only pickup a few good ones and then pull in dinks the rest of the day. And like always still looking for a wall hanger.

Seriously? Maybe you should consider eating the more populated dinks and support the fishery's future.

Seriously I can't have a goal of going out and catching a limit of good fish?

Showdown56 · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 15, 2014, 07:39 PM »

Sorry, I have no control over how you read my post.

I will say that it's not much encouragement to others that release trophy fish to do so if it's gonna be a "wall hanger" they ended up providing for someone else!

That said, I thimk it's CRAZY to spend $$$$ on a plastic fish when a nice frame with the fish and the fishers' smile will look good forever!

benson78 · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 16, 2014, 04:09 AM »

My goal is to get out on the ice more this year.

JAM3S · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 17, 2014, 08:58 AM »

My goal for this year is to get people out who have never gone ice fishing before. Coworkers, neighbors, family, just anyone that thinks ice fishing is "grumpy old men". I have a lot of people excited to go, and some still skeptical. This is going to be a great season!
