A Beautiful Day on the Ice

Postby ShumBait » Sun Feb 05, 2012 11:50 pm

Right now in PA it's pretty cold, so I've been ice fishing until it warms up. This past weekend I went up to Black Moshannon State Park with a couple tip-ups and some fathead minnows. It was absolutely beautiful out. I had some luck catching a few pickerel and some perch.

Nicely done. Didn't realize there was enough ice for ice fishing in PA. Bet those perch would taste good

Welcome aboard - congrats on getting out. If you have a minute, head on over to the Roll Call forum and introduce yourself and let everyone know what kayak you have and little bit more about your fishing.

It was pretty cold out, low thirties if I recall correctly. I wore a bunch of layers and my hunting coveralls, but my hands and face were still cold. It's worth it though, ice fishing is a blast!

Thanks! Ice fishing is really fun. Where I live you're allowed to have 4 tip-ups and one regular ice fishing pole. When you have a bunch of people you can scatter the tip-ups around the lake and wait for a flag to go up. Meanwhile, you can use a minnow or soft plastics with the regular rod.

Ice fishing is something i have always wanted to try. Seems like a good time as long as you are prepared for the weather which from all my cold weather camping days i would be fine.

the only ice fishing i do is when the eyes freeze up on my fly rod when i am out on the spring creeks in the winter time :) :)
