Ice fishing is the new Craze! Why all the fuss?
Courtesy of Doug Stamm/stammphoto.com
Welcome to ice fishing central! I'm glad you're here. If you like the site, please bookmark us and visit us frequently. You can also become a fan of Ice-Fishing-Central on Facebook, and comment, share photos, stories, and generally have fun.
I'll be honest with you. I certainly don't know everything there is to know about ice angling, and I'm not in a position to fish for a living. However, like you, I LOVE to fish and I get out on the ice every chance I get. I've also done so much of it that I've learned quite a bit, and would be happy to share those experiences.
My wife and I have found a pastime that we both truly enjoy. We love each other's company and we especially like to fish together. Ice angling simply allows us to do more fishing throughout the year.
Everyone has to start somewhere, even the pros. For those that are new to the sport, and you avid ice anglers, this site will be a valuable resource if you're looking for a centralized place to come read about gear, or places to go, tricks to try. Share your ice fishing stories, pictures, tips, even your favorite fish recipes, etc.
We probably can't teach much to the pros, BUT, we're commited to keeping abreast of the industry and to share what we learn, as new things come along. In addition, we will provide as much information as we can to help you catch more fish through the ice, be more prepared, and be very comfortable while taking advantage of some of the Best Fishing of the Year
 Some of the BEST FISHING of the Year occurs through the ice.
In a nutshell, that's why the sport's popularity is exploding. Avid ice fishermen are well aware of the fishing opportunities that come to those who brave the elements. Of course you have to be properly equipped with modern day portable shelters, power augers, sonar fish finders, etc., so that you can take FULL ADVANTAGE! A great day on the ice is a remarkable experience, and a winter full of great days can last a lifetime!
And for you Guides, feel free to submit some photos and include your link in the description. Or shoot use our 'Contact Us' page if you want to exchange links, and we'll get it done.
"There is certainly something in angling that tends to produce a gentleness of spirit and a pure serenity of mind."
Washington Irving
There are REAL reasons for the popularity growth of hard water fishing. A renewed focus on family togetherness, dramatic technological advances, improved portable shelters, advanced cold weather apparel, more advanced tackle, new exciting lures and baits, etc.
The tools available today give ice fishermen tremendous advantages, leading to awesome fish catching days. YOU can become a fish catching machine with the right equipment, and the right information. Catching fish is what it is all about, right?
Actually, enjoying life and God's creation while spending quality time with family and friends is TRULY what it's all about, but catching more fish always makes it even more enjoyable!
Information sharing is what Ice-Fishing-Central.com is all about. Real information, from real people, for real fishermen.
Thank you for reading, and good luck ice fishing!
