For Christmas my wife got my two boys and myself tickets for the Brainerd Ice Fishing tournament (largest in the world), plus lodge reservations!
What a way to learn the art of ice fishing....
I've picked up the basic necessities (rods, jigs, tip-up) but can anyone think of anything I shouldn't be without that isn't part of regular ice fishing tackle?
