You should! You can probably gear up for under $200. Our ice fishing kit, rod & reel, and line for $110, buy a 6" hand auger and 6" scoop and some wax worms for $90. If i go this light i just throw it all in a back pack and carry the auger. It's alot quicker and lighter. Once you get multiple rods, electronics, bucket etc then you need to invest in a decent gear sled but you can definitely get out and stay mobile on under $200.

Using your auger in an up and down motion to clear the hole puts you at risk of chipping the blade on a rock and, believe it or not, ripping the blade from the auger altogether. Unless you know the water is deep, remover your auger as soon as it breaks through. I bought a 5" Swedish bore in 2012 and have drilled no less than 800 holes since and still have them on for this year. I have never sharpened them, I just followed my advice above and drown them with vegetable oil after every use before I put the cap back on.

I have fished on Oneida and it gets decent ice definitely enough to drive a 4 wheeler on as we did. I highly recommend joining a facebook group for ice fishing in New York State. The fb groups always post on ice conditions and you should be able to get daily reports. For gear make sure you wear snow pants, a coat, gloves, hat and snow boots.

@tailoredtackle8545 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed but probably not a good idea for a beginner. We don't want them spooked their first itme going out and there is too much to think about for your first time to be risking ice conditions. Also just FYI if your traveling, midwest has consistent ice levels on almost all lakes when they freeze over but most of the lake in the west and upper northest and river/spring fed so the ice varies substantially. Here in WA, having 5 inches of ice means that some parts of the lake are guaranteed to be 2 in max

@tailoredtackle8545 3 жыл бұрын

Depends on if there are elevated bodies of water that freeze over. This typically happens in +3,000 ft of elevation in the nothern temperate regions of the US that also hold mountain chains. I do know it happens in Arizon a southern desert on the Mogollon Rim which is between 7,000-8,000 ft. It happens more commonly along the cascades and rockies in states that don't get cold enough at the sea level (Washington, Oregon, Utah). I don't beleive Cambodia or Vietnam have high elevation fare enough away from the ocean thermo winds and far north enough from the equator. There might be some bodies of water that freeze near the peaks of the Kravanh mountain range in Cambodia as I see the highest point here is 5500 feet but i doubt they are accesible if they exist. There are some ranges along Vietnam that get up to 10,000 feet but again I don't beleive they sport water that freezes over because they are looking like peaks without valleys that hold water. Looking at topographic maps your best bet would be Bhutan or South West China that have ranges with valleys with water bodies high enough in elevation to freeze over. This is all from my experience fishing alpine lakes and taking a quick look at topographic charts. Definitely doesn't mean this is accurate.

What are your recommendations for ice fishing boots?

@tailoredtackle8545 2 жыл бұрын

I have recently switched over to the thickest insulated duck hunting boots instead of classic winter boots because they are fully waterproof. Lately I have found that water is my biggest enemy out there from drilling so many wholes. So I have been using the Lacrosse Alphaburly in 1600G thinsulate which is 100% pure waterproof. I get them a size up and use extra thick Smart Wool socks. I use these in -20 easily and with the smartwool socks i get just as much warmth as winter boots but the guarentee of waterproofing makes a world of a difference. However, duck boots can be tough to walk in. I would go and try a handful of them at a retailer to find which ones bend the best for you. www.amazon.com/Lacrosse-376032-Alphaburly-Hunting-Realtree/dp/B07T7HHQKQ/ref=sr_1_22?crid=3QWSH1G0C98YD&keywords=lacrosse+duck+boots+men&qid=1642449358&sprefix=lacrosse+duck+boots%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-22 www.amazon.com/Smartwool-Unisex-Trekking-Heavy-Womens/dp/B000JTN162/ref=sr_1_15?crid=GTLR3KVP9NFZ&keywords=smartwool+mountaineering+socks+men&qid=1642449608&sprefix=smartwool+mount%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-15

First time going out for ice fishing, quick question, are ice fishing rods different than your regular freshwater rods?

@tailoredtackle8545 3 жыл бұрын

Yes there is a large difference. If you are just going out once and not taking it very seriously you can use a freshwater rod but they are way less sensative and make ice fishing challenging. You will miss way more fish and catch less fish. You also can't fish them inside of a shelter because they are too long. I would say check out our Multispecies Ice Fishing Combo but we just sold out for the year. Our ice gear has become way more popular than we ever expected. We will be back in stock in October 2021

@tailoredtackle8545 3 жыл бұрын

so this is meant for beginners that are fishing popular bodies of water. In the ice fishing world, all popular bodies of water have large "shanty towns" where a mass of permanant and semi permant shelters congregate. This is where I am directing the beginners to go. These popular spots on popular lakes will always hold atleast 5-10 shelters. When that is the case it is kosher to fish closer.
