Ice Fishing Help

[jetsled]

Well I'm no pro by any means but I do pretty well hard water fishing. I'm from Kuna and I mostly fish at Magic. Well for starters you don't have to spend alot of money on fancy poles and gear to do well thru the ice. I started out with a few old rod tips and a hand full of very small foam bobbers. Here's a basic setup that has worked for me small foam ice bobber, Ice pole or rod tip no reel needed You will probably be fishing in water less that 15ft I do anyway so hand lining works great. I use a size 6 snelled hook tipped with a mealworm or a piece of night crawler. I use 6 pound test mono. The most important item is a sharp and I emphasize sharp ice drill and an ice scoop to clear your hole. There is nothing worse than trying to drill holes with a dull drill. That's about it as you go more often and decide if hard water fishing is for you than you will adjust your gear but no need to go crazy until then. I will be going to Magic on Saturday.
