What will you do different this ice season?I will use better leaders.No matter how good you think you are you must have learned something from this site.

fish more aggressively! when i fish with my normal group, we're out to have fun. but when i fish alone, i need to try new things. i do need a power auger, so i will be willing to move more. i need to learn to jig also. the trout lake i fish has better potential than i'm taking advantage of. i also would like to get a flasher, and learn how to use it. i will now take pictures of weedlines too. thanks JC!

I am going to hit one spot I've found really hard for the first part of Dec. I have only slightly fished this spot the past few seasons. I have hammered big pike and walleye at this spot consistently in Dec, and best of all, there is never anyone fishing remotely close to it. Last year the closest shack was over a mile away

i am gonna poke around more, hit a couple new places,teach another kid,and hopefully get a good season in, last year really stunk- not long enough!

I got an under water camera last year. Only used it a few times. If I started catching fish I didn't bother. I only used it when I got bored. I think I'll use it no matter what this year. Maybe there are other or bigger fish that I could target. And the grand kids love it. stay warm afishingfool

miket. · « **Reply #6 on:** Aug 17, 2008, 06:26 AM »

how are those underwater cameras, heard about them but was puzzled as to the whole concept.are they really worth it and how about getting it to and from, any cases or covers?

UserX · « **Reply #7 on:** Aug 17, 2008, 07:27 AM »

Love my camera...Aqua Vu scout II .... nice case comes with...great battery life..and clear video. Depressing tho...to see fish that dont bite.

Better Terminal Gear.

New power auger.

Drill new holes sooner if the one I'm fishing isn't producing and move more often. Just generally cover more water faster.

If I'm a good boy, which ain't too likely, perhaps Santa will bring me a Marcum Fish Finder.

Got a small wheeler this year, so I will be using the run and gun method as much as possible and earlier in the year.

I want to spend less time wondering where to go when the ice blanket covers the lakes. Thus I have started really looking at things late summer and early fall hopeing to pattern the fish and look for good diverse weed beds and interesting structure.

TJR · « **Reply #11 on:** Aug 17, 2008, 05:07 PM »

I am hopping for new auger ( ice gator ) they look like they work good ? I like no gas.

Funny I should see this post today. This morning while trolling for Lakers + Bows I decided to really watch the bottom contour for good fishy structure. Today I found two one comes from 100' to 30' all nice round stone but not many fish the outher from 60' to 10' real fast stone, vegetation and lot of real small perch. I sent the camera down and couldn't believe the smallys down there it was like an aquarium at Bass Pro. I marked both spots on the GPS I love Technology

marshrat · « **Reply #13 on:** Aug 17, 2008, 06:07 PM »

I am going to get a smaller jigging pole when I fish for lakers. I use the same pole that I use in the boat and although it works great I like the idea of a smaller rod, to do the same thing. Hopefully be able to get out more the weather needs to help us out this year. Fish a few new lakes that I have from the boat that we have had good success on.

pooley · « **Reply #14 on:** Aug 17, 2008, 06:29 PM »

for you guys looking to mark weed lines, etc. i made these from pink styrofoam insulation, 2", and railroad spikes, and mason line. all free. mark, keep fishing, then GPS the spot when you pick them up.

boblee · « **Reply #15 on:** Aug 17, 2008, 08:12 PM »

Ive got to run and gun more too. I did really well last year when i bounced around and tryed new spots. also got the new Marcum vs820 flatscreen camera, can't wait to try it out

Swift · « **Reply #16 on:** Aug 17, 2008, 08:19 PM »

Ditto! it stays in the truck. I will deal with every thing when I am done fishing

jimmyclaude · « **Reply #26 on:** Aug 18, 2008, 07:42 AM »

For the question.... I will let every one find me out on the Ice instead of waiting for them to show. Lost a lot of time waiting on buddies this last year

pooley · « **Reply #27 on:** Aug 18, 2008, 08:15 AM »

yup. we give them one chance. then it's meet us there.
