I would like to give a big welcome to all of the MN newbies! Let us know a bit about yourself!

Where are you from? Where do you fish? Are you new to the sport or a seasoned ice god?

You need 5 posts before you can view certain parts of the site, this can be a good place to get one out of the way! :laugh:

Hello, my name is Todd and I live in the Apple Valley area.  I am new to ice fishing this year.  I usually fish on Prior or Crystal Lake.  I do want to try others before the season is over.

Yo! My name is Jake and I'm obviously new to the site. I have ice fished my whole life but now look to maybe film my fishing trips and post them on YouTube. My Dad and I normally spend most of our Sundays tipup fishing for Northerns and trolling with spoons in the summer.  :tipup: :tipup:

I'm Adam from Eagan.   Recently became a hard water addict.  Fish anywhere from south metro to Fairbault area. Usually make a run or two to lake of the woods each season. Like to fish crappies, perch, walleyes or tipup for northerns.

Greg from Northern Minnesota, I've been more of an avid snowmobiler but the last few years I've been doing a little more fishing each winter. This year I decided to go all out and bought an Ice Assault sleeper, I'm hoping to combine both sports, I live 35 miles from the LOW and thought it would be fun to ride out, fish and spend the night, then ride home the next day.

Stumbled across this site a couple years ago looking at DIY ice house designs and found a lot of interesting ideas on here. I've never officially checked in though, until now. I mostly fish Waconia since it's right across the street for me. Looking forward to another great season on the hard water.

Welcome, I haven't fished Waconia yet but hope to get out there this winter!

I'm a river stradler, does that count??  :blink:

And I spend at least as much time fishing MN waters...if not more.  Always game for east metro meet-ups this winter. 

Might be a good chance to meet a few of those that snagged those lith batteries.  ;D

Howdy! 
I'm Josh.  I've been fishing in general since I was a kid. But very few ice excursions.  No one in my family had the gear.  A couple years ago a group called Gitcha Some Outdoors I found on Facebook got me and my kids back on the ice and I've been hooked ever since.

I live in the South metro, but grew up in Cambridge.  One of my best friends has a cabin on Mille Lacs.  My in-laws have a cabin on the Whitefish Chain...   So you may find me just about anywhere.

Hello All,

Recently moved to MN by way of Montana. Been ice fishing all my short lived but can't wait to see what the 10,000 lake state has to offer! Can't wait and be safe to all of you this season!

Hi all my name is Darren.  I grew up in south central MN and moved out to Idaho for quite some time.  My family and I returned and are now living in the Bemidji area.  I have quite a bit of ice fishing experience under my belt and hope to do a lot of tourneys this winter.

Name is Brandon. I am relatively new to ice fishing. Last year was the first time I ice fished a lot in a season and now I'm addicted. Looking forward to a good season this year!

Hello fairly new member here. Born and raised in mn. Will be 2 years back end of Feb. Live between Park rapids and Detroit lakes. I do quite a bit of ice fishing. Had a pretty sweet setup but the mice chewed the hell out of my purple otter lodge so it's looking kind of "ratty". 😞 Be that as it may I still plan on getting out often ! Look forward to lurking around when I have the time !

My confession:

I'm 45 yo, lived in MN all my life, and have been ice fishing exactly once - when I was about 10 years old.  Tons of the other fishing though.

So, for Christmas, got a deal on craigslist for a Clam 2000, 6 in hand auger, couple ice rods with reels, and some other goodies.  We have a cabin up north (iron range - live in the metro).  My 12 yo son and I will be giving this thing a try when we go up for Christmas.

Still need to get some tackle, restring the reels (no idea the age of the line that's on there), and I think that's about it.  Already have a Big Buddy heater, and my dad's old Lowrance fish "lo-k-tor" flasher.  Think I'm set to start.

If this thing takes off, will probably invest in a power auger next... and after that, who knows?

Welcome! If you are looking and depending where you are Throne Bros, Joes Sporting Goods, Cabin Fever, Prior lake tackle shop, etc are good spots with knowledge on gear and the workers fish. Fleet farm has better prices but often lack the knowledge which is helpful when starting out.
