7 Ice Fishing Essentials for Beginners
Ice fishing is a favorite hobby for a lot of anglers. But it’s not for the faint of heart. Depending on your geographic area, the wind and cold can be brutal at times while you’re out ice fishing on a frozen lake or pond with few barriers to block the elements. But ice fishing can also be a lot of fun and it’s a great way to get outside when you have “cabin fever.”
If you live in a part of the country where bodies of water acquire enough ice to walk on, you’ve probably seen people out on the ice with pop up shanties (ice fishing tents), gas-powered augers and even snowmobiles when the ice is very thick. But you don’t need a lot of expensive equipment if you’re just starting out ice fishing.
If you’re thinking of ice fishing this year, or you’ve been out a few times and want to learn more, here are some beginner tips and 7 essential ice fishing products to set you up for a successful ice fishing trip.
