Make it an event. Good food. Good friends. Bring the kids. Be Prepared. It's all about the fun. Celebrate your life!

Sometimes ice fishing isn't about the fish you catch but more about the people you go ice fishing with.

If you had to give a beginning fishermen ONE tip about icefishing (panfish). What would it be?

Mine would be to downsize, light line, light action pole, small jig.

Mine would be just get out there and do it 'cause you won't catch squat laying around on the couch!!!

Put the smoked sausage in tin foil, place on lantern top. Nothing like hot food to warm you up.
Bring your kids, but make them dress warmer than you or it will be a short trip.
Charge you batteries BEFORE you go out.
If you think you will be home at 9pm, tell your wife 10:30.
Have fun.

Don't exceed your comfort level. If the ice is not thick enough, why risk it?
Make sure someone knows where you are going and when to expect you back.
Check you gear at least a day BEFORE you go, so you can resolve any issues then.
Focus more on what you NEED to bring and not on what you WANT to bring. (A change of clothes or a portable dvd player?)
Allow for varied techniques when possible. Sometimes jigging can trigger strikes more than just a live minnow.
Plan on having fun!

Bring a bottle of Jameson.

If you love Jamesons, which I do, and P am having a glass now, try Connemara peated Irish whiskey.
Worth every penny, its like Ireland in a glass.
and its a wider bottle so its more stable on the ice!

Know where you are going before you leave the house, and go there.

most important thing to have for a good hard long day fishin on the ice would be a shanty with a warm girl inside!!! (hunny the fishing just aint the same without ya)

SPADED · « **Reply #104 on:** Dec 19, 2010, 02:30 PM »

if you dont catch anything, take a handfull of minnows and shake em around a bit, then when your telling those tall tales of catching that big one that slipped out of your hands and back down the hole your hands will at least smell of fish haha

Waynesburgjay · « **Reply #105 on:** Dec 19, 2010, 07:26 PM »

All women should be warm inside. If your woman is cold inside, then stay out of the morgue and get some help!!!!!

Use the search feature to eliminate your silly questions !

stag · « **Reply #116 on:** Dec 30, 2010, 06:36 AM »

Set an example to others...take everything that you brought with you ON the ice, back OFF the ice when you leave....no one likes to look at the trash others leave behind because they are too lazy to carry it with them when they leave. And hook up with someone who knows what they are doing to show you the ropes the first few times out.

Oh sure, bring the thread back on subject why don't you. The nerve of some people. Just when it was getting interesting....

had to use a old tip from grandpa today... if its really sloppy out or your boot has a nail hole in it.. double bag some walmart bags or bread bags and slip em over your socks before you put your boots on... keeps the water out!!!!
