i just have to say i'm grateful to be able to have this great sport of icefishing...well actually ive used this sport as an alternative high...i gave up drugs and drinking and took up fishing 21 years ago and i can tell you which one is healthier!

Horray to fishing....teach a kid and tell a friend....fishing and hunting for life!

I'll say thank God for allowing us to Ice Fish at a time when we can use real quality angling gear and electronics that make the fishing more productive, fun, and comfortable.

Isn't it great to be able to be outdoors in Minnesota during the coldest time of the year. It gives you exersise and can be productive if you actually fish. Beats watching TV!
Another thing is most fishermen and women that ice fish, make for some very interesting conversations. Usually a pretty social crowd. (unless the fish are biting.)
