I
ce fishing season has started and some ice anglers have been rewarded with early ice. Good luck to you all. May you find safe ice, large schools of fish, enjoyable travels and fun times out on the ice. Please remember that neighbor child or friend’s kid who always asked to go ice fishing with you. Taking them on the ice could be a wonderful Christmas gift for that future ice angler.
Getting out on the ice and having success can and does have a lot to do with your open water success and knowledge. This edition of ODU Magazine touches on two basic themes; getting ready for first ice and getting back to basics.
What do you need to go ice fishing? How to locate fish that are covered in a dome of ice? How does that fish finder or flasher really work? These are some of the questions that are answered in detail.
