Ice Team Tip: I'm Watching You

Ice Team Pro, Keith Kavajecz writes...

As a tournament angler, I pay attention to details. Not just how I am fishing or what lure modifications I am incorporating – but what are my competitors doing that is making them successful. Of course I don’t copy them or move in on their spot during a tournament, but I make either mental notes or take the time to write things down on paper so I can add to or change my tactics next time I run into a similar fishing situation.

One of the great joys of fishing is doing so with new people. It certainly expedites the learning process as you see what others do, but I really enjoy getting to know someone by just spending time with them and having good conversation. Where else can you be so relaxed and at ease...seems like the best time to have a deep talk is while fishing.

I think I've ice fished with half a dozen new people and each time I've had a blast. Learned a few new things along the way.

Great tips from Keith - now we'll be watching him!

Dead on with the article Keith, I remember my first Trap Attack back in 2001, walked out with a sled a few rods and my first Vexilar which I had for a total of a week before the tourney. I always tell new guys who want to fish a tourney but are on the fence, that they will learn more about ice fishing in two to three days, than most learn in a year of fishing. Not just on the catching aspect, but more on the approach, the planning and having the right gear to get the job done
