Hey guys, I am new to the board and really enjoy the wealth of information this forum provides. With that being said I recently got back in to fishing three years ago. I found the most rewarding part of fishing open-water or ice fishing is when you put in the time and research on a certain body of water and rewarded by catching fish. To me it seems like if someone told you everything to get you on fish it has cheapened the total experience. If time is a issue and your just out for a couple days hire a guide that’s what their there for. John.
