I Have 4 Shoe Boxes Full Of Fishing Pictures Throughout My Fishing Expeditions .. From Young Till Now .. The Boxes Are Big .. I Wear Size #14 Snow// Mud Stompin' Boot.. Need To try And Post Some Pics On Here.. Is It Easy ?? .. Is There A Spot To Check For Instructions .. Have A Good One ..

I would be lost without my flasher.

Depends on the water I'm fishing, clear water and sight fishing my GPS is most important, dirty water flasher is the most important.... Cant do anything though without the Nils so always the most important...

I would say a flasher is the most important to me. Digital camera is the least important, it seems bringing the camera with is sometimes a curse.

Lake map! At least it can put me on the right end of the lake!

Flasher first for me. If the lake map includes mapping in my GPS, then that would be second but a close first.

Flasher, hands down.

GPS, sure it's nice, but honestly how difficult is it to look at a lake map prior to your outing, then figuring out a game plan?

Camera... I had an old camera but was given a nice new olympus tough a few years back, holy cow is that thing great! I use it for underwater photos, ice fishing photos, but the most practical thing I've used it for is my little trout maps (take photos of paths, roads, parking areas, where not to try to cross the creek etc etc).

If your goal is to be more successful on ice, I'd say the flasher is my most important tool. I do have gps, and use it, but if i left it at home I would not turn around to grab it. Last week, on the other hand, I drove from my cabin to Blaine to grab my flasher.

Flasher is the most important. GPS is nice to have but you can fish without it. I just don't like using cameras so I don't even own one
