Ice fishing is our favorite winter pastime and if you’re looking to hit the ice, you won’t want to miss out on some of these tips regarding fishing new water and actually finding some catches beneath all of that ice.

1. First off, if you’re fishing new waters, don’t just get out on the ice and set up a house. Make sure you find some active fish using a flasher or a camera. Drill a few holes and use your flasher for a minute or two to see if fish are there or not, then, look to set up your shack.

2. Try spilling water or washer fluid on the ice and placing your transducer in the puddle. Your flasher will display the depth of the water without you even having to drill a hole. This can save you quite a bit of time when you’re fishing at a new place.

3. Make sure you get a map of your new location so that you know where the best places are to look. Also, keep in mind any new rules or regulations that you may be subject to.

4. If you’re driving a great distance to get to a new spot, make sure you check the weather reports and ice forecasts before you leave so you don’t end up making the trip only to find that the ice has been deemed unsafe. Look on the location’s website or call the local agency in charge of supervising those waters.
