I am really looking forward to ice fishing. In NJ I never really had much chance to do it. The season is a bit short and life would always seem to get in the way. Now with my job change and a December through March season. I will actually have a chance to really get into it. I have studied the rules and reconnoitered a few water bodies in the area. I find myself stopping at any standing water to check to see how much ice is on it. Mother nature is almost ready.
