Don,
Looking forward to visiting the shop especially for the upcoming ice fishing season.  The trout will be hungry at Lyman Run State Park

Don,
Will you be holding a special ice fishing event this year? If yes, when?

No, we will not be this year. We couldn't find a date that would work for us in December.  However, we do plan to have some early ice specials.

Don, can't wait to get up there to see you and check out the new stuff.  Leaning towards getting one of those new tickle sticks.  Not sure how it compares to the widow maker I got last year.  Glad to hear you have some help, maybe we can drag you out on the ice with us this year ::)  Nez

Yep, I'll be able to get out this year.  It'll be a nice change fishing more daylight hours.  Hopefully we'll make it down to blanchard this year too.

The ice can’t get here soon enough. Hope it’s a lot better year this year. I will be in for some gear I am sure as you can never have enough. Are you doing bulk bait this year?

Yep, we will be doing bulk baits.  We have most everything available in bulk year round. 

Can't wait for first ice!  Hopefully soon!

Hills will be fishable soon!  I'm going to check all the lakes on Friday.

Disappointed to see sub-par ice conditions.  The lakes need a little time yet.  At this time, I would not consider anything fishable and I do not see this improving much over the next few days.

It's never a bad time to stop in and stock up though.  We're here 6AM-6PM all weekend.

The ice is building fast across the county!  Reports are up in the conditions page.  First ice is here :)

Stop in and see us if you're fishing in Tioga County this week!

Checked out your Twitter feed.  Nice pics & vids of action in the area.  Your neck of the woods is a jaunt from me, but if we get up that way some time I'll reach out for sure.  Is there a counter part you are aware of in the Johnstown, Somerset, Altoona area that you're aware of? Asking for bait & conditions.  I have two fairly reliable shops I can call but they're never out themselves.  They tell me what other people say, and their employees rarely solicit info, only tell what's offered by customers. If you know of any place, would help a ton. Thanks!!

Hi MitchellIce,

Sorry for the late reply. I've been out of town all week at a dealer show.  I don't think I can help you though.  I'm not real familiar with the shops in that area.

Hope you can make it up to our area sometime.  If you want to plan a trip, just shoot me a message and we can help you out with where to stay and where to fish. 

Thanks!

Don

It's a snowy day here at Tackle Shack.  We'll update later with totals, but 6-10 inches are expected throughout the day. 

We just received shipments yesterday of some more ice combos, tip up lights, tip ups, and a few other odds and ends.

8" ION and ION X augers are coming in today too.  We will continue the $50 off sale on all models!

Jet Sleds and Jet Sled Jrs are back in stock too.

We have 2- Eskimo Quickflip 1 shanties in stock.  Popups, and 2 man units are all sold out for the season.


Across the county, the lakes have 10-15 inches of ice.   Looks like we'll be ice fishing for quite a while yet :).

Open 7 days a week!  Stop in and see us!

Don
