If you never have ice fished before, especially from the south, put it on your bucket list and git-r-done! Let's go Brandon!

Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.

On the big lakes near towns that are acessable by vehicles,some guys just drive their truck out onto the ice drill a hole drop the line,tie the line to the windshield wiper set on intermittent to jig the bait,then when you hear the wiper slap on the window-you got a fish on. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

We just sit in the truck and roll down the window...and jig out of the hole ,drilled by the door. But each hole has a 2 beer limit....if no hits aftah 2 beers....we drive to anothah spot, and start all ovah again....This is a true Story !

Already have a couple of big catfishing trips planned in South Carolina and Tenn, and a hog hunt in Florida for hogs.
