My buddys dad died when he fell thru the ice fishing NY state...
He and I gave it up after that.
Kind of miss it this time of year.
But miss the old dude more.

Any ice fishers out there?

  Don't know much about it but I'd be interested in any advice those of you who do might have. One thing I'm curious about is - is the winter fishing better early in the season or later.

  Sorry to hear you lost a fisherman. It does happen, and all too often if you ask me. Personally I have been through the ice 3 times. Once only 2 feet of water, once way over my head and went all the way over my head. The other time the water was deep, but I managed to hold onto something and one hand stayed dry.
  These where all in my younger years. Since that time I have become much more aware of ice conditions, and more careful while on the ice. The only problem I have had recently was falling on the ice. Last year I hit my head pretty hard. A good pair of ice cleats solved that issue.
  To anyone on the ice... Be careful. It is a lot of fun, but can be dangerous.

  Sorry you lost a close one. We lost one here that was 66 yo, been ice fishin since he was 5 yo.
  
  Our ice season is closing fast usually we are just getting the top slush tightened up to where we can travel wherever we want right up until sometimes 1-May, but I think if weather patterns stay the same, people may be fishing Jackson lake from a boat by then.
  
  I am going to start another thread, but have a look at the videos
