tips for ice fishing

not looking for anyone to give away secrets, but just general tips maybe some of us have never tried.
 
For staying warm I always were sock liners and those cheap 1$ strechy gloves, liquor helps sometimes too.
 
This may sound a little nutty but last year my friend started walking the extra line when I was battling big lakers, when your dealing with 100ft+ of line knots suck, after landing or losing the fish it made throwing the line back down the hole super easy, the depth was maked on the line, but no tangles just throw a minnow on and right back down.

    get a small bait bucket that you can fit in a hole in the water so you dont freeze your bait.  use perch eyes for bait,  fish where you catch fish in summer...  always help out other fishermen as they may have cheeseburgers!!!  always share tips with people as they may give you some you didnt know and you may do the same for them.  if you see one area that always has no snowmobile tracks or foot prints dont walk/drive there.  practice catch and bbq

    if at first you dont succeed... blow it up.

    you want organic? well then shut the &^$() up and eat a *$&#*( squirrel.

    JK, My best tip on an all day ice especially on the freezing days, I use one pair of wool socks and toe warmers in my boots.

    stay out of the stock market /big brother is on the take
