Why am I posting ice fishing pictures in August? Because I'm an ice fishing addict, and last winter I didn't get my fix. Last year I only got out 4 times in jersey, and 6 times in Connecticut. I'm relatively new to the site but if you're on Ishanty you might know I like chasing esox. Here are some of my pics, post your own pics of some monsters and scenery. Let's do a dance for the cold weather gods in hopes for a long cold winter. Post some pics!

Thanks man! All of those fish were caught in CT or NJ, and every fish came from a different lake.

nice post SAXMATT and great pics from you and Fasteddie29

I am a Southerner and have never fished the ice...don't know how to, but pics like THESE got me interested. Need to put this on the to-do list

Have spent most of my winters fishing in the Salt here, but may need a FRESHWATER approach to the situation.

Be careful, it can get addicting! You should go out with someone who knows what they're doing so you can see all the gear you need. For starters, get some warm clothes, good boots, some hand warmers and hot toes, and make sure your outer layer is windproof. I didn't know how to dress my first year out and it made for some miserable days. If you're comfortable you'll have much more fun. Maybe we can set up a njfishing ice outing so you can walk around and see what everyone is doing. Plus if the fishing isn't good you still have fun eating, drinking and hanging out. When the fishing sucks it's like tailgating.
