MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
obviously we aren't gonna hold your hand and bait your hook for ya..but darn..sometimes it feels like people almost expect that nowadays...
Some people really like getting spanked. Pay for it even... so I'm told.
if you are fortunate enough to find a spot that fills your bucket..or keeps your peace...might be best served to keep it to yourself..and for god's sake if its an outta the way special place.. don't post it out on the internet....
It seems this new generation of fishermen think the primary goal of fishing is to catch fish every time. News flash..It's not.
Get off your butt and make your own success....
How many posts required for militia? I promise I won't go post crazy
Thanks for the info guys.
however I would like to point out that any and all of the info we as a group post to the main page is public knowledge for anyone and everyone to see. if you google anything about icefishing in Idaho this page is always near the top of the search results. we might as well put an article in the paper.
Back in my day, we had to walk ten miles to the lake, in 5 ft of snow with just a stick and string, and pops ol trusty dull ax to split open the ice. I appreciate all of the information on this site, you guys have opened up the ice fishing world to me. I admit, I was the new kid to ice fishin and had to ask the dumb questions, but I got the little bit of information I needed to get me rolling and I went out and figured out the tips I was given from this site. now I can't go out a time without hooking fish. There are days that are slower then others, and I don't expect to "catch" everytime. It's called fishin, not catching. Tight lines and May your beer be cold out there on the little time that we have left to fish the hard stuff!

Good post CCC.There's nothing wrong with some hand holding but expecting your hand to be held is a different story.It seems this new generation of fishermen think the primary goal of fishing is to catch fish every time. News flash..It's not.The Montana Facebook ice fishing pages have become a joke. You can't even post a picture without the first comment being "where", followed by "how" etc. Many of the pages I follow will boot people for posting specific water bodies because they've seen what social media does to fishing.But now we have a MT page scolding people for not shairing all your hard earned information and success...Get off your butt and make your own success....
I hear the perch are biting at Holter.... Those posts have vastly reduced the pressure on spots we do fish,it works both ways.
What is this Facebook thing? Where is it? Is it just a bunch of faces?
I dont know what it is but I've heard its where 14 year old girls go to b***h about their boyfriends?
I rarely get on I.S. Anymore due to the reasons discussed on this thread. I have witnessed internet fishing reports have a direct impact (negative) on a few bodies of water. Although you may have your own personal ethics regarding selective harvest, you can bet the other 500 fishermen that read your report do not share your passion for conservation. We are in the age of instant information-before you post that photo or write that epic report, scratch your head for a moment on what short term and long term impact it may have on your local honey hole.
