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.
