Mine is to stay warm.

No just kidding ya. This year I throw a cup or so of uncooked white rice down the hole. I dont have a flasher yet so this really helps alot to see them sneek in.

Once I see something sniffing I feather the line in my hand till its right in front of its nose and wiggle a minnow till it cant resist.

Keep a positive attitude, remember the fish are always bitting somewhere. Some days are better than others, the people that try hard and don't give up can always scrape up a few.

15%, Unless service is really good, then I'll go 20%...

In the words of Fishbomb - "Better to have and not need, than to need and not have." I generally relate that to keeping warm, dry and fishing...bring extra!

It may sound obvious but either get out early before sun-up and fish then or stay late until just after sundown. Sometimes the bite about 15 minutes before dark to 15 minutes after dark can be crazy.

Remember to use that spud in front of you, wear your creapers and don't forget your ICE AWLS!!!

Clip the top of the tail off of your shiner on your tip ups. Causes them to swim in circles and they cant get away from the predators seeking them.

Enjoy the act, not the catch. You'll never be disappointed.

If your not catching fish then move, move, move, and move some more untill you locate the fish! No sense of sitting on a non productive hole all day and come home with nothing!!!
