hey guys and gals
im ryan, i just moved to newington from long island, NY.
i have only been ice fishing once before and that was last week at silver lake in berlin.
i was hoping someone local would like to meet me somewhere close by for a little lesson on how exactly the hardwater fishing works.
im willing to drive up to 30mins one way.
im not sure i have the proper gear/tackle for the trip and was hoping to examine some of your tackle and techniques if youre willing to share.
i only have 2 jigging rods and an 8" hand crank auger with a handful of jigs and artificial baits.
contact me if youre going to be fishing anytime soon, id love to tag along for the lesson.
thanks
RyanBass

| Ryan, if your willing to drive sometime I'de be happy to show you techniques and give you a few pointers, Im in newington but i dont have my own wheels at the moment, (workin on that) but I could definitly show you a couple spots if you want, also what species would you like to target i mainly know about bass,pike,pickerel, and some about jigging for panfish although i am by no means an expert at that. lol if your interested let me know! I have some extra tip ups also if you dont have your own yet....Actually this offer goes to any takers really, If it were up to me ide be on the water almost everyday but without a car thats impossible! |

Where are you guys going? Mind if I tag along? I've got everything but an auger and plenty of extra tip ups. I fish almost exclusively for pike, but have never tried it on the ice.

| hows the weekends for you guys? i was thinking of going out to one of the coves if we dont get this snow storm, or maybe even if we do but the cove that i like to go to i havent got out on yet and i kinda like there to not be snow on the first time i've been out on a particular body of water so i can see the ice and not walk blindly onto unsafe ice! but im not opposed to going somewhere else for bass either |

The coves are pretty close to my house, so that's fine. I have a soft spot for Bantam, but have never been to Pachaug so going with somebody who knows the lake would be cool. Wherever you guys decide is good with me.

| how is bantam? i've never been?ive heard its the best place to go to catch pike but dont know seeing as im at the will of other people without having wheels of my own. i usually fish the coves cause its easy to get my friends that arent as dedicated as me to go there seeing as there 5 mins. from me. I'de like to get out this weekend sometime as long as i can kick this flu ive got now! i feel a bit better today so hopefully i'll be good for sunday, let me know if your and/or Ryan want to go! |

I love Bantam. In late Sept. I caught a 41" 17.5lb pike out of there (see Pike Party post). The problem is I don't have an auger, so I am at the mercy of others, as well (for now).
