Ice leaders and HotSpotOutdoors would like to welcome all of the EastCoaster readers! This is an exciting bit of expansion and I look forward to getting the lowdown on how the fishing is done out there.

I think this addition will be a good one for all!

Again, we welcome you aboard and hope that you will find yourselves at home here!

I'd also like to welcome Bob D as our new moderator for this forum.

Bob is an avid ice and open water angler with a lot to offer in regards to fishing info, tips, techniques, etc. A great source of info and someone who I've learned a lot from in the last year or so from reading his posts. Bob provides some valuable insight on a lot of subjects pertaining to ice fishing. I'm excited to have him aboard!

Welcome Bob!

Welcome Bob D. It will be good to see what the eastern part of our country has to provide in terms of fishing.

Welcome aboard.

I'd like to welcome Bob also. Last year he really showed us all a few cool tricks he has up his sleeve.

He has some amazing video of underwater camera footage. I also like the tool he uses for holding pike. Oh ya , and the ice auger race, that's pretty cool too!

Eastcoast/Westcost... Is that just a rap thing?

(OK. Half the people reading didn't get that but thats OK.)

Sorry. I can't help myself sometimes!! And most of us are Midwesterners so we should be OK ah'ight?

Along with the others, I would like to welcome Bob_D to the "Northeast Forum". While we may all fish different bodies of water, different species of fish, different lakes; I have learned over the years that a slightly different perspective on tackle & techniques can be very advantageous. A perch is a perch whether its in New Hampshire or Minnesota and a perch's tendencies tend to remain the same. On a broader level, ice fishing is ice fishing and Bob_D has a very interesting perspective that most of us can benefit from.

Welcome Bob!!

Close but no cigar!! I guess Massachusetts is not good enough for a forum? Hey I caught a lot of nice LM Bass and huge Crappie the last couple of years out here near the coast! Any other people from out this way? You guys out there are lucky as you get hardwater sooner than we do here. I'll be lucky to have safe ice before the New Year out here. Best of luck fishin when you all get safe ice...

I'm down with that as long as you use the right color flags on your tip-ups.

Don't look at me....I did not even know I was a moderator. Don't worry...I won't kick you out for posting about fishing in Mass.

Thanks again for the welcome guys. I imagine it's going to be a little slow for a while. Most people are in a holding pattern right now.
