I use to post about getting ready for winter fishing. so kitty litter, ice melt, change of clothes, fire starter, kitty litter for when the boat or boats ahead of you pull out and it's pretty cold the ramp will get a skim of ice, litter or ice melt will keep you from sliding in the lake... rest is a must. be safe. Any other advice would be appreciated. especially for the nebies. or crazy Ice fishermen/women.
