I did my first derbies last year. Prior to that, it was either fishing for the relaxation, or fishing to catch fish. Funny thing, they're both the same. If you fish by yourself (which requires extra caution on the ice) or fishing with a group you will enjoy yourself.
I will fish by myself a lot, and will always end up making friends with fellow anglers. It's just a fact of nature: Great minds think and fish alike!
a few more things I would suggest:
Let others know where you are going, just in case they need to reach you, or vice-a-versa.
Pack extra clothes in your vehicle, should you, or someone else happen to "get wet". Hypothermia is nothing to joke about.
Remember to bring your fishing license. Games wardens do patrol some smaller bodies of water, and they WILL ask to see your license.
All this being said, let's get some good ice and get a fish on!
