    Sarah- If you go ice fishing with all that snow over the ice be very careful.In fact discuss this with your parents.The weight of that much snow on top of ice can make for unsafe areas. Please go with an adult that's experienced.Not trying to scare you just warn you. Have fun and hooray for you for being off from school!

    Thanks.

    I ice fish quite a bit here in Michigan, but I don't really get the big ones until we see the soft water. Looking forward to getting the boat out and drifting for what I know is down there.

    Sarah, when you get to Cabels, be sure to get the limp flashabou it lays down alot easier. If you have any questions just ask.

    Hi Sarah. A hook in the gills is tough to know what to do. You could cut the line as close to the hook as possible and let the fish go. I have heard some say that in a few days, enzymes released at the hook site will allow the hook to fall out. I myself would probably take this fish home to eat rather than leave it to maybe die.


    As to hook removal, the best tool I have used is a set of hemostats like a doctor use to clamp off blood vessels during surgery or to pluck out a bullet from a wound. I have bought and tried a number of hook removal tools made just for that, including Big Bluegill.com's Terry Gauger's UNHOOKEM tool. I never mastered their use and always went back to my hemostats. Practice makes perfect!
