What’s on your icefishing wish list?
I think if I had anything on my wish list I'd probably want a livescope, but my good old striker 4 works great in the meantime and I catch lots of fish still. I bought an Ion ice auger 2 years ago and that has been a game changer for me and being able to move when I want. I always hated mixing gas and having carb issues at high elevation with my gas auger. I have also considered a 1 man flip over, but for me part of the fun is being in the elements and enjoying the view and probably wouldn't enjoy sitting in a dark "cave" the whole time. Plus it's just more weight and gear to clean up and haul when its time to leave. If I dress warm enough I don't mind the cold. I've found that good boots make all the difference of how long I can stay on the ice more than anything else, so I splurged on some Baffins a few years ago and they have been great. If it's reallllly cold and snowy and windy, I don't go anyway.
