Information

A group devoted to the Angler and the Angler at Heart.

If the topic has anything to do with fishing, this is the place to post. Tell us your fishing stories, talk about tackle old and new! What you like and what you don’t like.

Bought some new equipment and want to tell us about? We want to hear about it.

Thinking about buying a new pole and want to know it if it is worth the money? Ask up!

Do you collect fishing tackle? Show it off with pride!

Any type of angler with any skill level is welcome!

And as this is I Knife Collector, this is also a place to talk about the knives made, used and collected by anglers! We especially want to see your fishing knives -- in the tackle box, on display, or in action!

Comment by J.J. Smith III on May 11, 2016 at 20:59: Got this picture while at the Tar Heel knife show.

My youngest had bought her a fishing pole.

Trouble is, she misread the regs. She didn't realize that "under 16" didn't include 16.

It's all good now. She is officially licensed, and ready to go.

Grant me patience, it's been more than a few years since I've been fishing...

Comment by Tobias Gibson on January 27, 2016 at 14:20: The general rule is four inches is recommended for ice fishing. We prefer five or more. Some crazy people will go at 3 inches. Occasionally you will see the ice crack or hear moaning sounds or even see the occasional air bubble but if the ice is four inches thick you should be safe.

Here is a general guide for safe ice:

Most people carry little hand spikes (Ice Escape Life Preservers) in case you do fall through. The ones below are worn around your neck with the spikes being inserted into the handle holes.

Comment by Ron Cooper on January 27, 2016 at 14:00: Thanks, Toby! I knew it had to be a big auger. I had just never seen one. How apropos that the one says "Eskimo" right on it.

Having never been on a frozen lake in my life (Intend to keep it that way, too!) my greatest fear would be cracking the ice and falling in. I doubt that that would be any fun! Brrr! Makes me shiver just to think about it!
