For all non ice fisherman

[primetime49]

In the Mpls Star it quoted a DNR office as reporting that only 10 to 15% of fish caught in Minnesota are from ice fishing .

Yet all we ever hear around home is that ice fishermen are taking all the fish

go wonder

I would try it and at least get out a couple of times a year. I prefer open water, but this is going on my third year on the ice and the more I get into it the more fun I have. Do a get together, they are a blast on the ice and it's always great to meet new FMrs. If you absolutly don't like the ice, you can always get a fishing game for your PC or game system. :-)

WII - has 3 fishing games. That keeps me somewhat satisfied until open water. That and buying new gadgets for the boat, new tackle. Winter is a great time to buy open water stuff. Its alot cheaper.

I may ice fish once or twice a year, but I guess you can call me a sally. Im not big on walking on ice, even if its 24" thick.
