Hey everybody,
Adam here from MI. Im an outdoor junky. I love to hunt, fish(hard and soft water), and camp. My homewaters are Lake Huron's Saginaw Bay, so naturally i love fishing the big water. And as soon as Turkey seasons over in April, thats exactly where youll find me chasing walleyes. By the time July hits ive had my fill of walleye and i head to the west side of the state to fish Lake Michigan for Kings, Steelies and Cohos. Once September rolls around its time to hunt from there on out. I hunt small game, upland birds, waterfowl as well as deer before winter sets in and its time for the hardwater. Once Saginaw Bay freezes up good ill be after those pesky walleys again.

Besides hunting, fishing and camping i also enjoy lure building. I build my own jigs, jigging spoons, crawler harnesses as well as paint spoon and spinner blanks.....Nothing better than making your own tackle.

I also enjoy sausage/jerky making. Gotta love wild game cookin'!!!

cya on the board....A-bomb 8)

New to Wisconsin and icefishing. Moved to Kiel, WI from Maryland about 8 mos. ago. after retiring. Been out twice but no results yet. Not sure what I'm doing yet, but having fun learning. The site has been a big help in getting me started.

Been lurking a while. Looks like a great site. I'm in Northeast Illinois (just south of the Wisconsin border). Like to fish walleye, panfish, catfish...if it swims I'll try anything once.

I'm from Central NY near Oneida Lake and started fishing again after 25 - 30 years. I mainly fish for bass but wasn't ready to put my pole down yet so I tried my hand at walleyes. My name reflects my experiences with eyes. I was catching them casting from shore but it has been quite frustrating through the ice so far. My first ice fishing experience was last week in the Bay of Quinte. The ice was 4-6 in, and we fished in 20-29 fow. I got all the little ones and perch out of the way so the others could catch the 6-8 pounders. I know they can be much larger but it was still awesome to see those fish coming through the ice - just wish one of them were mine. I bought a fl8 vex and I'm going to be on Oneida and possibly on Delta Lake. I tried fishing without a vex and decided it was the first thing I needed. I also need a shanty but I am going to wait until the spring when I might catch it on sale. In the mean time, a couple of fishing buddies are great at lending me some of the stuff that I need.

Hello everyone, my name is Alan, and I live in Jay, Maine. I just recently got back into ice fishing after spending three long years suffering through snow-less winters, and only open water fishing. Now I'm back for good, and plan on spending some quality time on the ice. I love fishing for trout, togue, and salmon, and of course anything else that will bite.

Big Worm · « **Reply #39 on:** Jan 08, 2008, 01:03 PM »

I wanted to say hello to everyone, I have been a hardwater fisherman for only three years now but have been a life long fisherman. I absolutely love the sport and wish I had gotten into it sooner. I am convinced that I rather be ice fishing than sitting on my boat, how bad is that. I live in upstate NY next to the the Tomhanock resevior. I love to fish for everything. I fish all of the local lakes and like to venture up to the Adirondacks. Well I will stop here nice to talk to everyone and GOOD LUCK!!!!

Hi all,
Just found the site a few days ago. Awesome! I've been at the sport off and on for about 40 years.(damn that makes me sound old)
Grew up fishing the Chain O Lakes area in northeast Ill. and transplanted to south central Nebraska 15 years ago. Mainly fish for panfish.

Hi everyone, John from just west of the twin cities in MN.
I just found the site yesterday and signed up right away.
Thanks to my parents, I grew up fishing and hunting here in MN, oh darn.

My wife of just under 1 year and I live in Carver county. We love to fish Winni, Mille Lacs and the local lakes as much as we can both, hard and soft water. We took this last summer off from tournament fishing but prior to that I fished the MN FLW Walleye league as a boater for the 3 previous years and her as a co-angler the 3rd year. We are looking at getting back into it this coming summer probably doing a partners circuit like the MTT or something along that line.
We also love duck and goose hunting...we normally do 1 trip to ND to chase ducks other than that we spend most of our time field hunting honkers here in MN.

I'm from N.E. Indiana and fish mainly for gills through the ice. Ocasionally I'll go for crappie after dark. I do agree that hardwater fishing is a blast......but it's hard to beat flippin' docks for big bass!!!!!!!

pyle762 · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 09, 2008, 11:06 AM »

My name is Brian. I am 32 year old. I live in Arizona, and yes that is where I ice fish at

Here all the ice fishing is for trout, with a few lakes that have bass, catfish and pike freezing if we have a good cold spell. I have been ice fishing for about 10 years now.

Been surfing this site for a about five six years. I am located in Indiana, local conservation officer got me addicted to ice fishing years back, my wife thinks I am nuts. Been in law-enforcment for sixteen years and been raised in the outdoors. Fish local waters and private fishing area where I work security. Also been fishing in Wisconsin since I was twelve, my father has fished same lake for over thirty five years. My goal is to move up north after I retire, but will have to leave wife in warmer climate. Don't really chat on computer, but this site is addictive. Thanks for having me join along. My screen name is from my police canine that came from Russia

Thanks for the welcome, I have learned a lot by just surfing the site. I enjoy reading the comments and always like to learn more about the sport. I have a digital camera, but I think my teenage daughter will have to assist with loading pictures. Looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully get to ice fish with some of you guys some day.

Greetings everyone as I stated in my first post (new member ) I'm a custodian hence the username Mr.clean,currently live in New Windsor,NY. been ice fishing around twenty years introduce to the sport by a family friend. I fish mostly for panfish ,chain pickerel ,bass and trout also do some salt water (dock-shore ) fishing. Mostly use tipups but will probably do more jigging this year with the new live bait regulations here in new york, state is trying to stop the spread of a virus called vhs. we can only ice fish for trout on certain waters.

Jeepinjohn and another friend got me to go ice fishing for the first time last weekend. AND NOW IM HOOKED. I am currently building a 4-6man shanty that is fold able and insulated. Need to go out and get me some gear.

Hello All, I am Jason. I am extremely new to ice fishing. My first time out was last winter in a friends permanent. We were pulling up crappies like crazy. That was the only time I went last year but I was hooked. This year I have been saving my pennies for a while and have jumped head first into it. I have spent at least $400 between Cabela's and Gander Mountain, $215 used Strikemaster XL 3000, $250 used Fish Trap Voyager, and $490 Vexilar FL-20 in just the last 2 weeks. My wife has been pretty calm about it so far. I even got her out tonight for the first time. The couple of times I have been out so far this year I have been completely skunked but, I'm not giving up just yet!
