I just signed up to Ice Shanty a few days ago and found it by internet searching for "ice fishing forums". I've never even been ice fishing before, although I have been fishing my entire life. Today, I bought a sled, a hand auger, two rods (one ultralight and one medium), a spud bar, an ice scoop and a grip of jigs etc. I made sure to support a couple of the sponsors on the forum (Custom Jigs & Spins and Tackle Shack). I would have taken advantage of the Pure Fishing discount, but you guys bought up all the good stuff

Hopefully I'll be out on hardwater by next weekend and I'm beyond stoked!! If anyone in the CDA area wants to buddy up, I could definitely use the camaraderie.
