It took 24 hours of fishing to catch my first Ice fishing fish.  My son didn't fair much better.  We were introduced to the sport in January.  We have plans on getting our own shelter, float bibs, electronics, etc. This year.  We just did derby's last year and the help from other fishermen was nothing less than spectacular.  We didn't have an auger or shelter, just a couple poles and chairs.  People offered us warmth and holes.  I told him some day we can return the favors.

No Fish Caught Again may things improve this season . Hopefully you made some friends at the derby's who can help you put fish on the ice on regular basis. Ditto 4x4Dad's comment glad you met so many kind folks willing to help your son and you at the derbys.

My Son Hawkeye Holden got his from being on the cover of the Hawkeye Hunting and Fishing News when he was 9 in 2015.  The biggest fish he had caught before this one was a 3 lb bass so he was pretty excited to catch a 10 lb pike.  You should have seen his eyes when the fish ran and pulled him towards the hole.  He didn't panic, he slipped some line so the fish could run and then hauled it back in which happed a few times before he got it up the hole where I could grab it.








They still use his cover in their advertising today.

From the kids.
Old guy sitting in front of computer screen. Index finger hovering over screen quietly swearing at it under breath.
Kids: NO! Don't. Don't!  How did you get it to do that? What did you touch?
Old Guy: I didn't do anything. Who writes these programs any ways. I don't know wether to tap, swipe, wipe. I'd like to get my hands on that little blankety blank, etc. etc.
Kids: Dinosaurs shouldn't play with computers.

Mine is a combination of my two biggest hobby passions....Fishing, both hard and soft water and my Suzuki GSX-R. I actually looked into a telescopic rod and some Plano boxes for a back pack to do both.

mine nickname was given to me by one of the best fisherman and outdoorsman i will ever meet.He gave it to me because i lived in a city called clinton and the stick part refers to my ability to catch fish.He calls me the clintonstick which coming from a guy of his caliber i am very proud of it.The guy is also a very good judge in talent,LOL.
