Ice Fishing is Almost Here

Well the WI duck season is winding down and the goose season only has a few weeks left. The goose season has been a good one but the duck season has been disappointing due to the lack of birds. Although the last few weeks have been a mix of to warm of weather, rain, snow, way to windy, not enough wind and birds that just didnt seem to do the same thing 2 days in a row, it was a fun season even though it was extremely frustrating at times.

But alas, the ice fishing season is almost here. A couple weeks ago many of the smaller shallow backwaters and ponds were covered in ice. That ice soon disappeared when the 50degrees temps showed up again. But it wont be long before there is enough ice for the many ice anglers, myself included, to venture out in search of that magical first ice bite.
