Title: Newbie to Ice fishing
Post by: sparks660 on Nov 16, 2014, 03:00 PM: Hello all!
I thought I would introduce myself. I started fishing about 2 years ago. My father in law got me "hooked" (Bad pun but it fits). Last year was my first time trying to ice fish. I will say it was quite eerie being on the ice. I had a great time. Growing up in a warm climate makes me a little spooked being on ice but I think I can get around that.

I may even take my kids out to try it. (Also need them to turn the manual ice auger I have) ;D

Just for your information a company called Stabilicer does make ice cleats/creepers in children's sizes for when you bring your kids. One warning about this website be careful you do not spend more time reading about ice fishing rather then actually fishing.

love my flyfishing (40 years) :icefish:
in the streams but this 20 year old obsession with ice cannot be understood. Still trying to figure out why I kneel at a friggin hole in the ice but when they aren't biting it keeps my mind busy cause the next strike may just be the one I have been chasing. Have fun and stay safe!
