Bunch as a kid in Illinois. Pretty fun as a kid. Set multiple poles, fish with one. Throw the fish on the ice for a cooler.

Its scary though, I never did it enough to not get over the ice cracking.

My husband grew up in Wisconsin and did it all the time. What do you want to know about it?

Would be kinda cool to build a shack on top of the frozen marsh and pluck out reds and specks from a hole in the ice

Caught 500lbs of ice. My wife fried it up and she drowned.

Let's see. Drive truck onto ice to place shed. Hell no.
Get inside shed, light heater, drill giant hole. If ice cracks, the shed becomes your tomb. Oh, seriously hell no.
Below zero temps. Forget that. I'm a southern girl and I don't think I'm missing a thing.

Ice and fishing. Two words that do not go together for me.

Some local college students show you how not to do it.

Back when I used to live in Wabishaw. Let a huge fish slip away, still haunts me.

I went once in MN and had a good time. I would put it towards the bottom of my bucket list if I were you.

Just for trout in Montana. It was a blast. Throw the beer on the ice. Ride snowmobiles across the lake when you get bored of fishing. We wouldn't go until the ice was almost a foot thick. Never really cared what I caught.

Catching big pike would be a cool thing though.

I have a buddy the lives on the UP in Michigan, he's always posting ice fishing pictures. He catches "perch", but they are more yellow, not like our perch. Dude actually hammers the fish pretty good year round.

Friends of Max and Felix?

In all honesty. I was just up that way this summer. Beautiful country. People in Minnesota are dickheads though.

Used to go with friends when I lived in upstate NY. Sometimes we sat in the huts and othertimes we just basked in the winter sun. Sipping coffee and bourbon.

2 years ago when we had the really cold winter it was brutal getting through the ice - 16 inches of ice with hand powered augers is a work out.

The closest I've come is fishing for "jack" (sauger) in the winter on Guntersville as a kid. It was always cold enough for our rod eyes to ice up and for the minnow bucket to keep freezing over.

As far as real ice fishing, if I lived up there it would beat sitting at home. But, it's not on my list of things to do before I die.
