When theres ice on your lake though,what else can you do?
Open water,why sit in one spot to wait for fish when you can go find them.When theres ice on your lake though,what else can you do? I wish I had the time to ice fish,but it seams like its a PATIENCE game and I just don't seem to have that!I don't even sit in a tree stand for hunting,I GO FIND DEER!
drill holes and find fish!!!!!!!! billybono
If you have a power auger and a portable shanty, why sit in one spot? Sometimes I will run a reef into deep water, and the auger never has the chance to cool down. I don't think ice fishing is a patience game, guys with patients don't catch as many fish as the guys who go "run em' down".
I bought a power auger for last years "Whitney Point Crappie Derbie",But it got cancelled due to not enough ice! I guess ice fishing is a sport you need to be aquired to "LIKE" that is,sorta like the taste of spinnache...
Alright I guess I'm going to be in te miniority, but OPEN WATER all the way. Don't get me wrong-I love ice fishing, but there is something about warm weather and being in a boat that i can't get enough of. Hardwater fishing has it's fair share of excitement but i would much rather catch a nice brookie or salmon flyfishing.
