First off, I just want to say hi to all of you guys and gals on this forum! This seems tobe a great site and I'm sure I've came to the right place to get help!
Well, this fall I decided to go ice fishing! I've never been before... so I'm kinda clue less to fishing hard water. For this year, I'm just starting out with the basics for tackle.... rod and reel, jigs, ice scoup, spoons, ice spikes, hand auger, and a bucket to sit on.
But before I start drilling holes, I need some tips on gills and crappie. Like; locations, rigs, baits ( artificial, and live) presentation of baits, and most off all saftey tips about being on the ice. I'll be mostly fishing smaller lakes, farm ponds, Lake Mcbride, and maybe if I'm lucky, Lake Sugema. I can't wait to go... I'm just waiting for the water to freez, then I'll be out fishin!
