Any time spent ice fishing is awesome, (if you dont go in the water)

I have a bunch of those but I’m just more confident using bait, usually a wax worm. I’m going to have to force myself to improve my plastic game.This is a hub style shelter. You use folding chairs. The hubs I have seen usually get on the ice on a sled or in a vehicle. Hubs have been improved upon over the last five or six years and today they are great shelters with a ton of room. Lewis could fish 4 or more in his if he liked company.
I stopped ice fishing about 15 years ago after slipping and suffering a partial tear of the Achilles tendon sheath. I also have copd which makes breathing the cold air intolerable. I sold my tub [fold out] shelter and everything ice fishing. This year we've had such wonderful weather up until just recently that I wandered out on the ice with a buddy and we've done very well. It was a balmy -17 degrees this morning and a wonderful -7 yet at almost noon so all I do now is read about ice fishing again.
I still make ice baits for a lot of people. These are an inch long and its absolutely impossible to hold one of these by the head end and keep the tail from shaking. Impossible. The baits on the right are obvious color-wise while those on the left are glow purple [top baits] and glow red [bottom three].
i've always wanted to do that!! Perch taste as good as walleye i assume??
There are those what believe perch is better (tastier) than walleye. Could be they taste better. Could be the the meat is firmer; fillet stays intact better whilst cooking; better texture. One of the things discussed forever, like how antelope is better tasting than elk, and.................i've always wanted to do that!! Perch taste as good as walleye i assume??
I almost bought a Eskimo Auger last week and I wish I would have now.I bought this Tent, Eskimo FatFish 949i, Insulated version
And this Milwaukee M18 Fuel Drill, with 8” Eskimo Pistol Bit Auger
I live in south eastern Michigan about 3 miles from Lake Erie. I was a charter captain for 10 years, so you can imagine the perch and walleye that came over the back of the boat. I have eaten most fish that are commercially available here in the states and I wouldn't trade one filet of perch or walleye for any of the rest of it. I would have to rate perch just slightly ahead of walleye due to the fact that we scale rather than skin them. I think this adds flavor. Now I'm not saying other fish are bad, it's just my personnel preference.
My preference as well. I also don't fillet the perch. To me I think they taste better with the backbone in. Not been a good ice season for me so far.

Yes they are!Are those perch filets?
Where are the Lake Champlain caviar?
Is there a way to scale perch without making a huge mess?
that makes absolute sense now!! shows we don't ice fish much here in Tennessee... (when you said gear,, i saw rods, lures ect.)I said my new Gear, meaning Ice Tent, and Power Auger
are those "fat"ones full of eggs?? Sauger eggs taste absolutely awesome,,, do you guys keep them?This morning was slow but okay.
