no not confused I will end up getting fluorocarbon 2 or 3lb. and be back on the ice this week some time. gonna shoot for evening time so I can be there when the sun goes down. thanks again!!!

fluorocarbon I can do that. thank you sir.

also i wonder how much my line plays into the fish biting i have 8lb on my poles?

thank you and yes sir..there is definitely   a wealth of knowledge on here. now I just need to pick p on it!!!!

thank you for the info. I have only used pink but I will go and get me some different colors today. good luck to you!

well been out several times this winter .a few to the camp ground area. my question is... does anyone think the ice is safe in the land locked area that is next to drive that goes onto the camp ground?
 I personally haven't really had to much success fishing. I did how ever get 3 perch at 9" one of them was over 10" . that's a first for me to get keeper perch. other than that I have only gotten a hand full blue gills. wish like everyone else they were bigger almost seemed like I was doing surgery when cleaning them. also would like to know what are the hot color pin mins  people  are using . and as far as perch go are they hot for minnows or something else...
 I found this site a couple days ago and its great. thanks to the guys who give ice up dates. you are life savers!
 I plan on going out with an uncle of mine this sunday. any help would be appreciated color, depth ....


 thanks

hello, stopping in to introduce myself. its been many yrs since I have fished. but I did manage to get out several times this year.. with working 3 rd shift  and running my own lawn care biz I never had time plus none of friends do it. I have time now and am loving it ..I think I might have something wrong with me cuz I cant get enough. I originally tried to go to a small pond by nimi this summer but is been developed and there houses all around it. so I went to nimi got a couple of blue gill..first time there  it is a beautiful lake and I have been out a dozen times to ice fish
