Anytime now let's catch some fish

[GiantSquid]

I've never fished the ice before so I'm really pumped about tomorrow being my first outing!  I bought all of the stuff before the season started and then we had all of that great cold weather but my Dad went into the hospital.  Finally he's home and I have an opportunity to go.  I'm feeling great about going with all of you guys.  I'm hoping to learn a lot about how to do this.  I didn't want to go our with one of my fishing buddies that knows evven less about ice fishing than me.  I've got all of the gear that I think I need and clothes that are plenty warm but I might need some tips out there guys.  I'll be wearing a Jets hat and a blue/white jacket and pulling a red plastic sled with all of my stuff in it.  I'll accept any advice that anyone wants to give and if I screw up any of the ice fishing protocols please let me know.  I have a good selection of jigs and stiff for my jigging rod and some power bait maggots but I'm planning to stop at Simon Peters for bait for the tip ups. 

Two questions..

Is there any sense at all in bringing any of my artificial worms and grubs?

I'm hoping to get shiners and mealworms at Simon Peters - Is that the right selection for Swartswood through the ice?

[projoe]

your probably better off w. mousies than the mealies. ive never used artificals such as u talked about but thats not to say they dont work. you will only find out one way, and just do it. You are going to need to put in a few hours on the ice to get the knack but this outing will help you. it helped me out last year. unfortunatly im not going to make it up there this year but good luck to all who participate in the outing.

[DougDratch]

Sounds like a good time, wish I didn't leave all my gear at my buddies up north. I wana see some youtubeage from this event!

[FishinHardWater]

great day, even though the fish weren't cooperating with me... i even won cool prizes for 3rd place pickerel. 

thanks for putting this together for us guys!

[Jigmeister]

Thanks to Shawn and the folks at Simon Peters for a great day!

[Reb]

It was great to put faces to the names.. Hope we can do another one this year. Thanks to Shawn, Doug and the great sponsors that made it all happen.

[HaveAuger]

Had a great time. Thanks for your hospitality and the 2 dogs and Bambi chop hit the spot. For me Bambi was a prize in itself.
I had my first hit all day@2:40 on the jig. They probaly turned on at 3:05. 
  Nice to meet the newbys and to see every one again.

[NJ PIKER]

Thanks again to all that made it happen
too bad the fishing wasn't as good as the eating

[LoneWolf]

I had some prizes left from unfilled categories so I'm trying to set up a second get together this month.
Again I'm trying to pick another lake for us to try.
