Thread: Article: Tips For Winter Fishing - by Jarad Roper

Those are some great tips...something everyone that gets out fishing during the winter monbths should think about. I'll add one more to the list if you have it...carry along a propane heater to warm your hands with when they get wet from handling bait or fish. That heater doesnt have to be a big one. Just a handwarmer (that can take a breeze without going out) and it'll keep you fishing longer.Thumbs Up Good post. Thanks for sharing.

Great tips there from both of you.

Great tips and very well put. Coming from up here in MI, I know well how important it is to follow those tips! A solid fuel handwarmer is a good bet for keeping your hands warm when you have to work without gloves for a spell. Thanks.

Tips like these come from other programs as well such as a Hunters Education program. Even for those who didnt have to get one the class is loaded with good information, and life saving information such as that stated in this blog. Lots of people will say that most of this stuff is common sense, and I agree, howerver there are lots of folks every year that have major accidents or even die from such things, take your time and think before you do anything, we want you all to return safely.

Thanks for posting and sharing good information.

Mount a Ice Flasher to the bow with xducer on trolling motor. Get a SHORT ROD 4 1/2- 5 FT. 4lb.test line some tunsten jigs and plastic bait.

Don't forget to check your boat for winter fishing. check all the normal things you would before leaving the house to go fishing also check to make sure your throttle and steering cables are not frozen. Rock your boat while it is on the trailer to see if it is frozen to your trailer bunks. Take a couple bags of ice to put down on the boat ramp for loading and unloading. Take a cell phone just in case!!!

what is the make/manufacture of head gear you have on in picture?
