Ice fishing is loved by so many because it is so accessible if you have access to some hard water (that’s ice for you newbies). Jay Hale is bringing 4 decades of experience to this episode of Gearbox Talk. He explains how he approaches finding a good spot by learning from old ice holes, he shares why he usually prefers a hand auger over a gas powered one and where to find good auger blades, and he shares how to test ice to make sure it’s safe to fish on. Jay also goes in depth into the gear that you absolutely need to get started like tip-ups, jigs, how to ice fish without a shelter and what clothing to consider wearing when you plan to spend the whole day on the ice. Hopefully this episode gets you out there chasing flags.Gearbox Talk is brought to you by GoWildDownload GoWild today.
