Who Ice fishes and what species??

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.

Who Ice fishes and what species??

Post by almontefisher »

Just thought I would throw this out there for a fun post...I think we need some...

Anyway Just like the Title say's.

For me I love ice fishing and my primary species is trout. I also love fishing Mississippi Lake cause you never know what will be on the end of that line :lol: .

Last question: Do you fish in a shack, clam etc or just straight out on the ice??

This could be a fun topic.

Well iv'e never been ice fishing before, but iv'e bought all my gear, and this is going to be my first year :).

Main specie might be panfish, and secondary will probably be walleye.

Petrie island! :D :lol:

I do not own a shack, but i happen to know someone who owns one, so i'll be fishing from that shack :)

It's a clam, fish trap guide.


And i cant wait for first ice!!!

Love my ice fishing too, mostly eyes and crappie for me.

As a side note and not to generate to much excitement here but I was out duck hunting Sunday morning and had to break through some ice in the back bays of the river......sure surprised me in the dark :)

My name is Andrew Cameron A.K.A. Tip-up/Tip/Tippy and I am a ice fishing addict.

Once things get firmed up I will mostly concentrating on fishing walleyes and crappies as well as the weekely trout tips that I have started a love for.

I spend 70% fishing on Ontario while the other 30% is in Quebec. Fished a lot of new waters in both provinces this season and have marked a lot of high percentage areas.

I fish from a Fish-Trap and prefer them over other shacks for many reasons although there are a whack load of new portables out this year that are look really well and are just as funtionable. I am happy with what I have now and have no need to upgrade this year...I don't mind fishing out on the ice without the hut but I do prefer to be around others. It's my time once flipped :)





I now realized there is no cure for this.
