RE: Ice fishing list - doitall5000 - 12-02-2021 Wow Craig, your breaking my back.. I'm thinking you will need a wheeler and slay. RE: Ice fishing list - meancuznalfy - 12-03-2021 One thing I don't have, but probably should is a gaff. RE: Ice fishing list - Bduck - 12-03-2021 My list Lazy Boy recliner 70° home comfort College FB games BBQ pull pork sandwiches Ice cubes for my glass of anti-freeze, not partial of sitting on one RE: Ice fishing list - fast_randy - 12-03-2021 At first I had to laugh Craig. What a list. But if I can count what's in my truck and my sled. I have almost everything but the snowmobile. Lol. I like to have everything you could think of also. RE: Ice fishing list - joatmon - 12-03-2021 Here is my current "light" setup for early ice Small sled (currently using Jet Sled 21" x 43") Nils auger Milwaukee hammer drill 4 ice rods with reels and rigged with various jigs/flies Spring bobbers Hand towel Humminbird Ice 35 Flasher Spare jigs/tubes/plastics/etc. Tackle tethers (paracord and two small carabiners) Bucket with lid Ice scoop Cleats Life jacket 100 feet of rope Ice picks Forceps Bumpboard Yardstick Jawjacker Homemade tip down Spud bar Of course winter clothes, boots, etc. RE: Ice fishing list - a_bow_nut - 12-03-2021 I didn't see the kitchen sink on the list. Lol RE: Ice fishing list - fast_randy - 12-04-2021 Joatmon, I have never carried rope before. It would be handy for trying to rescue someone. This year I seen a lot of people on less than 2 inches of ice at Henry's. Does yours take up much room? RE: Ice fishing list - meancuznalfy - 12-04-2021 A small roll of 50' doesn't take up much room, better to have it and not need it, than to not have it and need it, also need a bit of weight on it in case it needs to be thrown, especially on a few inches, I've also wore a life jacket on some first ice we've been on. RE: Ice fishing list - castnshoot - 12-04-2021 Mouth Spreader,, I was wondering what that was so I googled it. Big mistake .

Hope to never need it...

I included a lot of stuff that I would only use on some occasions such as when staying overnight on the ice at Flaming Gorge. The full list can be scanned quickly and one can say, "Got that, I gotta find that, don't need that this time; oops, forgot that--look in the garage, gotta buy one of those, etc." RE: Ice fishing list - RonPaulFan - 12-06-2021 Now you know how I've been catching such big fish. Ronald RE: Ice fishing list - SkunkedAgain - 12-07-2021 Wow and they say I take too much stuff, here is my list from my Henry's trip... Rod box, w/ tackle and rods (only used one), spud bar, warm clothes and boots, inflatable vest..., license, bait (meal worms) Go Fish... (Caught 15-16 fish in and hour and a half, averaged 19" each) (I may not dare put my camping list up, it might look like yours and then they could start teasing me again..) Later Jeff RE: Ice fishing list - PBH - 12-07-2021 Not to beat down the OP -- but lists like that are what scare people from getting in to ice fishing. It's amazing how complicated we can make the things we enjoy doing!! Ice fishing doesn't require any different equipment than fishing in the summer, with the exception of a way to get through the ice. But that can be done without having to go buy any special equipment, if necessary. KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid! What do you need to go ice fishing? 1. a fishing license 2. a rod and a bit of tackle. This can be the exact same stuff you used in July. maybe a fly-rod if that's what you have. The tackle could be as little as 2 or 3 jigs. 3. a way to get through the ice (an auger, spud, axe, digging bar, etc.). maybe just use some old holes, if you have to. Anything else is just extras.

(Caught 15-16 fish in and hour and a half, averaged 19" each) I bring a lot of stuff. But, it's for others that I invite because I want them to be warm and have a nice time particularly when it is a first experience. Too much to list within the posting limits here RE: Ice fishing list - Gone Forever - 12-07-2021 Smart to carry a rope, and wear a PFD if in doubt. If in doubt, tie the rope on and let it trail out behind you, That way YOU can be rescued by anyone, even if they don't have a rope, they can grab yours from 40' away and haul you back up.

I carry 100 feet of bright paracord with two lightweight very quick to screw in by hand ice climbing style ice anchors. Lots of versatility including rescue. I have more detailed posts on that in our archives. |
