Ice Fishing Anyone?
Careful planning and preparation is all it takes to make ice fishing the greatest time in your life or the worst. Easy? Tag a look at the following tips and see how prepared you are to catch those fish!
Buy early
Make a list of the supplies you used last season and replenish them early. Make sure you get all those Glo-Buster Blue Lights or Lindy Tazers. Everything you need to remember is four words: wise up, stock up.
Check the hole on the ice floor
Simply put, make sure the hole is clean. Chips or chunks of ice can cause complications in your fishing line and can make you catch fish or literally break your chances of getting any of these could break the line therefore losing your chance of getting that trophy of a lifetime bluegill. Remember to keep the hole clear of any barrier.
Fish more, get the big four
The bait you simply can not go on without: wax worms, minnows, various Powerbait, maggots. It is best to keep these bait separated and as much as possible alive using coolers such as a small Coleman.
Clean 'em all up
Inspect and clean the rod and reel you want to use. Q-tip is best to take the nicks in every nook and cranny of your ice rod. Non-freezing oil for lubing fishing reels is advisable.
Heating up
Do not forget to bring those heaters and pounds and pounds of propane cylinders. One can not fish comfortably if he or she is as cold as a fish under the ice. Ice fishing should be fun and feel comfy too.
House up
The ice is hard and cold, but it does not mean you have to feel that too. Ice tents must cleaned out as well by putting a light coat of lubricant in the joints. If there is any wear or tear, it is best to contact the manufacturer to get them to send the necessary repair, as deemed necessary.
Gear Up
Better be safe than sorry, because you get a set of lifeguard spikes and a safety rope. Also feel less of the cold while being cool, pick up a fishing vessel coat from Carhartt Extremes Arctic Jacket. Avoid frost bits on the toes and feet, the best shoes are the Irish Setters Versa Trax to keep you warm all over.
