Ice fishing Tackle

[tkymasters]

Lake Erie is tough to ice fish.. You never know what the ice conditions are going to be like.. Whenever I go out on Erie, I'm in front attached to an ATV (driven by GF) with a spud testing the ice. 3 inches of ice is the minimum for me on Erie.

I mainly use 6# test with jigs and minnows, minnows on tip ups, or even worm harness.

One thing you'll definitely need is a Heater Buddy.. Walmart had the best price..$89.99. Gander Mtn was $129.99

Thanks for the info I may try this year if we get some good ice. usally my idea of ice fishing is going to the basement and opening the freezer to get them out. This year the family ate most of the eyes before I could save any.

I also like the quote
