What species are you guys targeting on FIRST ICE??

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I think the first will be Crappie and Pike but as soon as the ice forms on the lakes, we will be on our quite little spots.

I will be trying a few new lakes this year that I was forunate enough and got little tips about them. And of couse my usual Walleye spots. :)

I can't wait to just get out onto the ice, panfish will probably be my first target, but that'll just be to hold me over until the ice gets thick enough for me to reach some of my favorite walleye haunts... I can't wait to get into some eyes!

Ted it would be my pleasure to put you on some tasty treats this winter as we've been talking about ice fishing together for a few years now. The little rods are an absolute hoot on any size fish, especially when you hook a decent Walleye or Pike :lol:

I've been busy hanging out in Gatineau and learning French to ease the pain of 'cabin fever' this fall....seems to have worked so far :lol: Can't wait to hit the playing field though :wink:
