Ice Fishing

This is called ice fishing it's a really fun thing to do, this is a really cold activity. For this activity there are a lot of  things you need, whether you are going with people or along. The minimum things that you need if you are tagging alone are the following: Fishing rods with large guides, a sensitive tip, with some backbone, reels micro spinning reel, test ice line, bait: crappie minnows, wax worms, fatheads, a 5 gallon bucket to sit on, hand warmers, needle nose pliers, fishing license, a compass, bobber stops with beads, ice fishing bobbers, ice scoop, and a first aid kit. One can also take really cool equipment such as, an underwater camera, a two way radio to talk to your buddies, an ice fishing house, and strike sensors for tip ups, this stuff is a plus.

The first thing you do before anything find a spot on the ice to set your ice house. Make sure it is a spot where the ice is thick. Once you have the house set up, and all your equipment ready, get an auger and start drilling your hole in the ice. Once you have your hole done, hook a shiner fish to your hook. Drop the fish in the hole, and wait for your bobber to sink. This will indicate that you have a fish on the line. I really recommend this activity, it is really fun.

  1. I had to push ctrl+a to read this. you should figure out why the text doesn't show up. And you might want to change "whole" to "hole" in a few places.

  2. Are there places around here that you can go ice fishing? Do you have to buy all your own equipment?
