Title: Newspaper feature article on ice fishing
Post by: jessicacrawford on January 02, 2013, 02:32:37 PM
I posted this to the welcome forum as well, but thought I could reach more of you in the General forum... Hello ice fishing experts! I am the editor of American Pie, a monthly publication distributed by the Wapakoneta Daily News and the St. Marys Evening Leader. I would like to do an ice fishing feature for our February edition but do not know anyone who ice fishes. I would like to find a contact in Auglaize, Allen, Mercer, Hardin, Logan or Shelby counties to help me with the story, but would take other counties near those as well. Please send me a direct message if you are interested in helping me learn about ice fishing and sharing an interesting article with our readers. Thanks!

You could just point readers to this website. It is full of good info. I could represent Mercer county if you want. Drop a Private Message from this site if you want my input.

You should go out with a couple of people and experience ice fishing .OJT is the best way to learn . Also , the quality of people on this site is off the chart they are friendly and helpful . I,m lucky to have found them...A suggestion ,go to the children's event at Cranberra Resort ,Indian lake. Some of the best will be there. Good luck with your article. ;)

well lets see , ice fishing is like being on another planet, when your dragging your stuff out on a frozen body of water and the visibility is minimal , and your dressed like nanook, the colder the better hoping with every step that the spot your striving to reach will produce, your armed with auger, rods,heavy clothes,ice picks,heater if your using a shanty,bait,usually your bud is helping drag the sled. the snow crunches with each step as finally your sweet spot is under foot, drill holes, clear the slush out of those honey holes, set up shed , fire up the heater, peel off enough clothing as the temps rise to feel good. bait the rods, sit down and comment how great this is, lower the tasty treats you hope the fish like, jiggle ,yank,,,,FISH ON, now all is good, and the 10 degree weather, the snow, the drive, and the look on peoples face is priceless when you say your going ice fishing......because its like being on another planet....
