At 7:00pm on October 24, 2009, James Feasel said…: generally you need 4 inches or more of clear clean ice. you should go with someone experienced your first few times. so you can learn how to be safe.

At 8:36am on October 24, 2009, James Feasel said…: auger (drill) holes and measure. in a pond or small body of water i'll start where i think it is deepest and make as many holes as i can and try them all.

At 6:13pm on October 22, 2009, klrbaer said…: My dad taught me the basics when I was young and I started tying again about 5 yrs ago. You can pick up alot on youtube and there are alot of instructional sites out there.

At 2:21pm on October 21, 2009, Jordan Masssart said…: What is you favorit thing to use during ice fishing

At 6:52pm on October 19, 2009, klrbaer said…: I joined the site about a month ago.

At 7:12am on October 19, 2009, Csteel said…: Got it on the Arkansas River while electrofishing for Catfish. Nothing special about taking care of it. Feed it 2 worms every few days

At 7:55am on October 18, 2009, Eric White said…: I dont think i said that but if i did it probably wasnt meant to seem harsh

At 5:12pm on October 17, 2009, Tim C. Homesley said…: I'm in Texas right now fly fishing for reds and specks.
I will chat with you if you ever catch me on the computer, I'm not on here a lot right now, as soon as the river closes oct 31st I will be on some in the evenings.

At 2:53pm on October 17, 2009, James Feasel said…: Thanks for the tip Dale.

At 8:03am on October 14, 2009, Neil DeBuyser said…: Dale I use a small ice fishing jig year round. I bait it with a spike and the action is usually nonstop! I fish them in all water temps, I don't imagine the water in none to warm when I go ice fishing!

At 5:52am on October 13, 2009, Tommy Winton said…: I been catching them year round. Catching them higher water column in morning then later in day i catch them deep on the bottom.

At 5:12am on October 13, 2009, Bill "Musky" Modica said…: I've had great success while using spoons when surface temps are from the upper 40's thru the low 80's....when water temps drop below the mid 40's, I switch to ice jigs under slip bobbers until ice-up.

At 5:20pm on October 12, 2009, Jim Gronaw said…: Hey Dale...I like water temps from the mid 60's to the upper 70's for active, shallow feeding fish. However, I have done real well in mid- winter/open water scenarios with temps in the low 40's.

At 9:03am on October 12, 2009, JIM SIMKINS said…: Right now we are catching them in water 25 ft.-40 ft. surface water temp. is 71, catching the fish on black or silver 1/32 oz jigs that sonny makes. We tip the jig with crickets.

At 12:03pm on October 11, 2009, Steve Crowder said…: I fish Mountain Island Lake, which is an impoundment of the Catawba River. I also fish two water reservoirs for the City of Monroe, North Carolina which I really like because they do not allow motorized boats on their lakes.
