[QUOTE="Shockwave, post: 350134, member: 1661"] I did a lot of fishing as a kid. I would ride my bike to the closest pond and either bobber fish or throw a weight with a floating jig. In my mid 20's to late 30's fishing came to a halt for many reasons. About 5 years ago I was invited by my brother in law to go ice fishing and we took my little guy with. He was instantly hooked and it became a trickle effect for the whole family (I think my wife enjoys it the most). Now we have invested a lot of money in fishing equipment and I am trying to learn it all over again. Since I have never owned a boat that is the biggest learning curve for me. Right now I am trying to learn how to use electronics, specifically side imaging, to locate fish. It's weird how I could go fish anywhere as a kid and catch fish every time I went. Now I struggle to catch fish many days out of the year. For the most part we pull bouncers and slow deaths. On occasion we will pull cranks, we have used slip bobbers once or twice, and I have tried pitching jigs a few times with not much luck. [/QUOTE]
