Alright ill start this off....
My names Andy Bush I'm 22 and from silver springs ny. Just started fishing ice tourneys last year. I've have ice fished since I was a kid learing the basics from my dad. Few years ago I started fishing with Jeff and his boys and have learned a lot about ice fishing from them to take my skills to the next level. Last year my cousin and partner zach kowasz and i took 3rd both days on silvers Neit tourney and on our first trip up to Vermont to lake bomoseen we took 5th. This group of guys are great to fish around which makes it fun. I also fish bass tourneys during the summer. Every chance I get I'm on the water. Zach and I are young and still have a lot to learn but we proved last year that we can hold our own. Can't wait for this years ice tourneys.

Way to take the initiative Andy! My name is Rick Ryan I am 20 years old from Warsaw NY. I have been ice fishing for 10 years but i have only fished tournaments for 3 years. Starting with the Avon anglers and working my way to the NEIT. Jeff and his family also got me into fishing these tournaments and actually the first one they got me to enter, I WON Loon Lake Perch! But since then its been nothin but an awesome start to an ice fishing career. In 2010 I fished 1 NEIT event and that was held on Silver Lake, and i fished with Daina Snyder who is Jeff Snyder II's wife and we got 3rd! She was rippin Crappies out in the deep water!! So for the 2011 Jason Caudill and I partnered up to fish the entire NEIT series and we did all of our traveling with Jeff Snyder II and Chris Durfee. Jason and I finished 2nd overall in the points race getting topped by 2 points by our good friends Jeff and Chris. ! Our 2 best finishes was a 1st on Kahle Lake and a 2nd on Lily Lake. Great Season!!! The 2012 season threw some wicked curve balls, bad ice, last minute decisions, confusion of the series...it was rough. But thanks to Jeff for getting everything put together to get what we could out of a terrible year for ice conditions. After the first tourney of the year was post poned for 2 weeks Jason and I fished and got 3rd. But after that Jason had his fill of fishing tournaments and no longer wanted to compete anymore. Now is when I am introduced thoroughly to Scott Braur's bait, Maki Plastics and since it is all i will ever use. It has INCREADABLE action, great scent, great color, what more could you ask for? It is hands down the best bait on the ice today Next tournaments are the Silver Lake weekend and i fished both of those contests with Jeff Snyder II, Winning the Qualifier and getting 2nd on Sunday for the Championship Great Weekend for the HOMEBOYS! Andy,Zack,Kevin,Shady, Jeff and I all on the podium After that.. I was partner less so some talking was done and i teamed up with Chad Beale to go to Onieda lake. Well that was cancelled so we were truckin up to Vermont to fish on Lake Bomoseen, now that was a TOUGH tournament day! I think the deep water burned everybody, well accept Nick Glosser but anyway Chad and I fished our hearts out and ended up with what we thought was a measly bucket for the lake we were fishing. But it ended up getting us 2nd place and a partnership for the 2013 season:) -Rick Ryan

My name is Nick, I'm 28 and live in Amherst, NY. I a first mate/charter captain on Lake Ontario. Fishing is not only my passion it's my job. I am lucky enough to say I enjoy my job. But I can't say that a bad day of fishing is better then a good day at work. I've been ice fishing for ten years now. The Bomoseen NEIT was my first event and I got lucky enough to win as well. I had no idea that the series even existed or I would have fished them sooner. Im a looking forward to the series this year. Wish the best of luck to everyone fishing this year.

I am Brandon Maines, I live in castile ny, and I am 19. I have grown up loving the outdoors hunting, fishing, and just relaxing outside all thanks to my father Brian Maines, Grandpa Don Stout, and Uncle Jc Stout. I am a football player for Utica College I injured my knee this yr resulting in me not playing this yr. I am getting it fixed soon, but this injury has allowed me to submerge myself into Ice Fishing a little more. I find it fascinating and very fun!! I have not participated in any tournaments yet but I think I will do the two on silver this yr. I just joined this forum thanks to Andy and I can tell it will help greatly with the Ice fishing experience.
