Now it's June

I've never been ice fishing.
Other than the ice and what not, is it basically like regular fishing?

[Gary54ss]

well, kinda, different tactics due to the fish holding tight on the bottom and the lack of ability to use conventional fishing methods. Set your self up over a hole with a tiny jig with a wax worm, a foot off the bottom and put em on the ice.
