I cant wait for spring...Fish, squid, the revamped sox...hell, I just miss mowing & weed wacking the lawn.



I'm thinking of ice fishing myself. Bought some ice fishing gear a couple yrs ago but never got around to actually going.

Do you target larger lakes or small/med sz ponds?

Hey Mr. Brian,



I generally fish locally in eastern mass as it's more convenient. That means i'm primarily targeting smaller and medium size ponds. I do make a few trips out to the Berkshires every year as they have some amazing ice fishing. It's where I learned to ice fish actually. Caught a bronze pin pickerel out there last January. Hope to catch another one this year!



I'm completely addicted to ice fishing. I fish freshwater all year round but once i picked up ice fishing I realized it was probably the most productive fishing I do. It's when I catch the most and the biggest fish consistently all year. I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have regarding ice fishing.
