Many anglers across the ice belt have been enjoying numbers of days out on the ice catching fish. But, there is one item that gets over looked by many and that is the fishing line that we have spooled on our reels. Fishing through a hole in the ice, the edges of the hole are very sharp and will take a toll on our fishing line. Anglers need to be aware of this and continuously be checking the line every time that we hit the ice. The ice is very hard on the line and will put nicks into it and this may cause you to lose a good fish during the battle. Every time that I go out I take a moment and check a handful of feet of the line for these nicks and if found will remove that section of line. Also, the knot needs to be check each time out and during the day as well. We don't want to sacrifice a good fish for not checking the knots and it only takes a few seconds to retie if the need arises. So take a few moments and check your fishing line before going out the next time and enjoy a day on the ice.
