MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
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!
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.
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?
