Never having ice fished, I didn't know all that equipment was needed. Never thought about it. I'm in the situation now where I'm pricing out all the goodies I want to properly trick out my new kayak. Between now and Spring I expect to drop some serious change on a variety of gear. Ice fishing gear will have to wait. Guess I'll just have to sit back and enjoy the pictures everyone else posts over the next three months.

Nice!

Gary, I'm in the same boat, as far as ice-fishing equipment.  I just moved up to Michigan a couple months ago.  No ice-fishing gear at all.  Money's been a little to tight right now for me to acquire much in the way of gear.  I've bought an ice-skimmer, but only because it's cheap.  I still need a spud bar, ice auger, and a rod-reel rig at the bare minimum.  Really will want a flasher and a pop-up shack if I truly want to take off on my own, which is not really the safest thing.

Yes Allen that lake freezes and most of the ice fishing pics I have up are catches from there .This year may be too warm  because of El Nino perhaps.  There is ice fishing allowed in the deeper  half of the lake the northern shallow part is reserved for skaters .I catch fish from 8- 22 ' through the ice here . Some real fine Crappie in years past .Perch ,Gills , Bass , I even got this pretty ,though thin Brown Trout one year .

I've never been fishing in cold weather...until now. John seems to think I'm on my way, though. This lake isn't too deep, so I expect it would freeze over totally. I have no ice-fishing gear, so I would be starting from scratch.

Nice-looking lake!  Will it freeze thick enough to walk on?  Do you have ice-fishing gear?

My favorite crappie catching spot is frozen over. Spring can't come fast enough!
