was that you icebucket I saw at Woodstock ?   I was on the hill in the mud.

For some reason, I can't remember if I took it to woodstock or not.

Welcome fisnfool.  Glad to have you.  

I noticed you didn't mention a sonar unit. A flasher is not absolutely necessary, but does make for a far higher success rate!!!!  I didn't have one last year and went with a friend of mine who did.  Our holes were 5' apart... same lure.... same presentation.  He outfished me 5 to 1.

 Guess what... this year I have a Humminbird 386 CI for primary use and a Vexilar FL-8 as a backup.

Where abouts are you located????

I'm in Mentor.  I am thinking of ordering a portable set up for my Humminbird PiranhaMax I use on my boat. I was told that I should make a shallow cut for the transducer and use RV antifreeze to sit the tranducer in. I plan on trying Geneva State Park harbor area, Aquilla, Punderson, Ladue, and Mosquito.

Hi all;

I have not ice fished since I was 16.  Used to go on near shore Erie for blue pike and smelt with my dad in the late 50's early 60's.  And Punderson for trout and pan fish.

I have been re-wiring and re-decking my 18ft Starcraft Holiday for the last 2 years.  So I have spent the summers pond fishing.  OGF is my summer home.

But now the ice bug has bit me again.  I wanted a site dedicated to hard water fishing.  After checking several, this is the best.

Retired and looking to be on the ice with others.

Equipment I'll use, pop up ground blind as a shelter.  I am building 6 / 200 ft spool tip ups and have 2 ice rods.  Ice cleats, spud bar, poly sled for dragging the stuff on the ice, 2 ice picks for emergency, and assorted other gear.
