Title: Getting Started
Post by: Tanker593 on December 25, 2014, 06:32:47 PM
I'm looking into trying a little ice fishing this year. The idea of heading out in the cold on a frozen lake to fish seems like a good challenge. If I can get a few crappie, blue gill or perch to fry up with some taters all the better. My brother-in-law and I hit the ice fishing clinic at Cabelas last weekend which had a lot of good information for the novice. A lot of good info on this site to help get started as well. Looking for to check back throughout the season to learn more.

I'm on the northwest side of Columbus. We are looking to go up to Indian Lake since it's about an hour away and we're familiar with the area.

Buckeye is another good lake to fish. Tried it last year for the first time and I am looking forward to fishing there again this year. Welcome to the site. It should be easy for you to hook up with other people from the site wherever you plan on fishing. Good luck. Grant
