I was wondering how long everyone stays out on the ice on a normal day of fishing ? I arrive in the dark and leave in the dark but that's just me. After all I'm an outdoors nut.

The longest I've ice fished was 14 hours in a portable
shanty.On average days 6 to 8 hours,4 to 5 days
a week.Lucky me.

It all depends on the lake I'm fishing and the species of fish I'm after. Some lakes the perch don't hit good till around 10:00 AM so their is no reason to get their to early. And I take a lot of time off to fish and hunt sometime 3 to 4 wks at a time. I only average 6 or 7 mnts work the rest I'm fishing or hunting all the time.

Usually dawn to dusk.

I go out to my shack friday night and stay until Sunday night. Before I was married I did masonary work so I'd stay out all winter. I 'd go home to get my unemployment check and that a shower and that was it.

I stay out as long as i can stand the weather. It is not unusual for me to be the last one off the ice at night.            olds

You guys are fishermen after my own heart,I was the last one off the lake tonight.  My girlfriend tells everyone if they go fishing with me they better drive seperate vehicles because I don't know enough to quit.    As long as I can stand the cold I'm fish'in!!

my freinds think im nuts but a average day for me starts fishing walleye at 5:30 am till 10:00am then fish perch and pike till 3:00 pm then walleye and burbot as late as 10:00 pm but most of the time im of the ice by 7:00 pm and i do this three times a week.

It varies for me.  Once this year I was only able to fish 2 hours.  Other times I stay out 8 to 12 hours.  All depends if I have things to do.  During the week I try to get out for 4-5 hours at a time.

If I am fishing locally it is usually only 3 or 4 hours depending upon what I am fishing for.  I usually only go out for one species of fish each time so that I don't have to drag all my tackle along for everything.
If I am heading out to Winnie or LOW I will be on the ice from 4am till dark then head home.
