I have never been and want to go, what kind of stuff do i need, where can i get it, and where is a good place to go?:confused: :confused: :confused:

You need tilts. Just about any tackle shop that is open in the winter will have some.

Go anywhere where the ice is safe. With shiners you'll get bass and pickeral in almost any local pond. For trout i like powerbait with a grub worm on a treble hook.
Oh yeah , you need some way to get a hole in the ice. An ice chisel is good if you don't go often. An auger is also nice , especially a gas one! :)

you also need the scoop to keep the hole open and an insulated bait bucket so your shiners don't freeze.

Thanks

BUCKMASTERS in westwood!!!!!! go there, big pickeral, bass, sunnies, perch, trout, everything! your in newton so its not that far, but seriously, 2 weeks ago i got a 24" pickeral while setting up my tip-up (tilt) and a bass the same way. im going there again probally this weekend, maybe friday.
i have a chizz and it works really well. it cost me $20 and i always beat my friend who's on the hand auger to the water.
