The ice-fishing season is coming up quickly
and it is time to get all the equipment ready.
JJ and Josh were out scouting the ice on ponds last weekend. There soon will be enough ice for safe fishing.
They also just watched episode 27 of Tom Gruenwald Outdoors. TGO is a fun show to watch and it is a great way to get ice-fishing tips.
