Most Important Thing You Take Along Every Trip To Hardwater
« on: Mar 05, 2019, 12:18 PM »
Been fishing more and more lately this winter after the purchase of my Helix 7. After some time spent on the water I am curious what others value the most on their trips to the lake. Aside from new shacks, fishing sonar, and augers what is important for you to have on the ice?  Any certain brands or devices that make you fishing much easier?

Thank you in advance!!

Been around quite a while.
Where did the word ditto come from?
It comes from Italian ditto, a dialect variation on detto, meaning “said," the past participle of dice, “to say.” It was used in Italian as in il ditto libro, “the aforesaid book.” In English, it came to be used in the 17th century to avoid having to repeat words and phrases in accounting and commercial language.Dec 28, 2016

I think he meant he never heard the term Fish Whistle...

Besides augers and sonars, I'd say my Striker suit.

Aside from auger/poles/flasher, I don't think I'd go back home for anything else except the fish whistle and contents to fill it.  Even then, I may skip it and have a nice relaxing time once I get home.  ;D

No worries, I’ve used the term “ditto” for over 50 years and now have the ability to impress anyone who questions my knowledge of the meaning and origins of the word.  @)

This is NOT a one item question.  There are a number of "important" items.  If you take just a rod, how do you cut a hole, or what do you use as bait?  However, I do get the concept.  Being that you need more then one item, I would put my flasher at the top of the list!

Go back and read the original post.  The "fishing gear" is already covered.
