๐ Buy a fishing license! Required for anyone over 16 in Minnesota (check your state for requirements)
๐ Find spots to ice fish at
takemefishing.org - their interactive map also has recent reviews!
๐ Rent a heated house! Winters in Minnesota can be BRUTALLY cold so sitting โindoorsโ while on the frozen lake is a huge perk. We had a great experience with
@icefishingwarriors
๐ Make sure the ice is at 12-15โ thick before driving on it for a medium sized vehicle; or go out with a guide! Avoid driving near bridges and always adhere to signs
๐ Go EARLY in the morning when fish are more active. We went during the day and while we had nibbles, we werenโt quick enough to pull them up. Next time!
๐ To drill a hole, use an auger
