Maine Ice Fishing

I really value gear that is easy to use and dependable. Ice fishing is hard enough, don't let your gear make it harder!

I value equipment that is made to last and that I trust. If it's made locally to me, all the better.

When I'm tip up fishing, I keep it very simple. Make sure your smelts are in good shape and you'll have a good day!

Bait and Lures

Live smelt if I'm fishing for trout and salmon, big dead shiners for pike.

Clothing

Clothing cover

Clothing is probably one of the most important aspects of ice fishing. You need to stay warm, dry, and I highly recommend a float suit for worst case scenarios.
