Why Icefish with us?
We use airboats to access hard to reach areas, and our captains are all experienced fishermen. One of our keys to success is not overbooking our captains. By maintaining small group sizes, it allows our captains to be more mobile on the ice. If we have to move multiple times a day to get on the best bite we will. Smaller groups allow us to work closer with each client to help you learn and become a better angler. Under normal circumstances we will not schedule more than 6 anglers per captain
