With the warmer weather many of the states have been having this winter, we know that hardwater anglers are anxious to get some decent ice forming on the lakes and bodies of water so they can do some ice fishing.
Remember that ice is never 100% safe and it takes 4 inches of new, clear ice at a minimum for the recommended thickness for walking, it takes at least 5 to 7 inches to hold a snowmobile or small all-terrain vehicle, and 7 to 8 inches for a larger, side-by-side ATV. Learn more
To get you amped up for ice season, here is a video that talks about using plastics instead of live bait.
Sure those maggots and minnows have a place, but when you're on a bite, our friend Matt Johnson from Clam Outdoors has a suggestion: switch to plastics
Talking about early ice season basics.... Jeremy Smith with Angling Buzz has some thoughts on early ice - telling us that one of the most common mistakes that ice anglers make is heading too deep, too early. Learn more

What are you doing this time of year to prepare for the next hunting season? Building nesting boxes? Learning archery? Clearing out invasive buckthorn in overgrown areas? Share your photos with us
Now is the time to start asking permission to gain access to hunt private property.
A way to improve your calling skills for waterfowl or turkey is to clearly know what the actual bird sound is, and the Merlin Bird ID app is a great tool for just that!
