What area are you from and what lakes do you plan to fish? Most state lakes have maps. If not just google or satellite image the lake to find weed lines and drop offs. Don’t be shy to ask the guys in the parking lots what’s catching fish or suggestions. Most fisherman know the struggle of starting out and will give you a few tips on colors or depths that are working.
I’m also new myself.. how are you able to search for news about the local lakes in your area? Thanks in advance
I haven't ice fished in 20 years, but am looking to get back into it, so I can get my boys out on the ice. I have two questions. First I have seen the term dead sticking minnows, what exactly is that? Secondly, I am looking to get a relatively cheap electronic (200 dollar range) that would be good on the ice, but I could also use from kayaks or canoes in the summer. I have looked into the deeper bobber anyone have any thoughts on that?
you can get a striker 4 with portable kit for around $180 if you shop around. Not sure if gander outdoors has them but they have $25 off with code GoodSamshop around, watch review videos, talk to people using electronics on the ice and make sure it's simple enough for you to understand. looking at other peoples flashers makes me think Id need to read the manual half a dozen times
