Ice Fishing Forums

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Got the mid-winter blues?  Its raining, the ice has gone (for now), but still have the itch to walk on water?  You are not alone, there are thousands of folks just like you from South Dakota to New England feeling the same.  To find product info, get current conditions in your neck of the woods or just talk strategy, these are some good places to start.

www.fishmichigan.net     I really enjoy this site,  it hasn’t swamped by “pro’s” hyping one product over another.  Just a bunch of regular folk, talking fishing, hunting, cooking and getting along.  There are some quirky people, but all part of the Michigan flavor.

www.thefishyspot.com  If you wonder where all the folks that migrated from the old Ice Team site, this is the place.

www.fishingminnesota.com  Want to read how they do it in the land of “Grumpy Old Men”, its a good spot to start.  Have to check out some of the modifications to their permanent fish houses,  Lemon and Matheau never had it this good.

www.iceshanty.com  Seems to be more of a PA, NY and New England crowd, but still loaded with some great information, and they have their own “Michigan” section, where you can talk Superior to Erie fishing.

www.in-depthangling.com  You have to really cherry pick the information here,  running into some cliques.  The so called site pro’s probably need to go to class to get some updated information.

www.icefishing.outdoorsfirst.com  This one seems like it may be going through some growing pains, but think it has a lot of potential.

www.michigan-sportsman.com  Haven’t quite made up my mind on this one yet.  Also seems like the site runs at a slower speed than the others.  Definitely has some good information,  just weed through some of the nonsense.

I try to go through these once a day,  have my favorites that I check out more than twice a day.  Some are loaded good information, others with new ideas worth trying.
