Ice Fishing Hobby

Ice fishing has become a popular sport.  Before you head out onto the frozen waters, here is a list of essential tools that you should have when going out on the lake. 
Ice bucket, jigs and spikes, rod and reel combo, gear, shanty, tarp straps, sonar, flasher/fish finder, proper dress code, tip-ups, ice scoop, and ice auger.  

Before going ice-fishing, always check the regulations for your safety. Safe ice is the number one consideration.  A minimum number of 3"-4" ice thickness before going out on the lake.
