Ice Fishing Mobility

Believe it or not ice fishing mobility is essential. It's really only a problem when the weather is grotty, as when it's nice weather - you don't need a shelter.

When the weather is bad, you will definately need an ice fishing shelter. Ice fishing shelters are easy to pickup, and a lot of people make their own. The homemade ones are usually made out of blue tarps and plywood. They weigh in at around 100lbs and they make an unusual crackle in the wind. If you're not a one time wonder (meaning you'll go ice fishing more than once) - you definately do not want to build your own ice fishing shelter.

There are several portable ice fishing shelters on the market for a reasonable price. Now I'll say it again, mobility is key when ice fishing! Portable ice fishing shelters keep you warm, and they keep up your mobility very well!

Once you have your ice fishing shelter, here's the cycle you should be following:

1. Driving
2. Drill holes (you should have a gas powered auger to speed you up)
3. Fish!

If there's no fish, you need to move! This is why mobility is so important when ice fishing. Imagine having to pull your 150lb ice fishing shelter out of your truck every time you move. Then having to go through the hassle of setting it up, etc.

Seriously, if you love your ice fishing and you use your homemade ice fishing shelter, stop! Start using a portable option, and immediately notice the different - you'll enjoy it so much more and you'll save so much time!
