- February 19, 2013, 04:20:41 AMRatman,not to sure in this case if bigger is better.There's only 3 of us that enjoy the ice fishing outing..that's My father in-law Aidan and myself so the one you have is ideal for our crew if you went to send the architecture plans for that one 
.....Every year they have a fishing contest near me called "King of the ice"It's been awhile since I've been able to participate being it seems to always fall on a drill weekend

49: normal choice is worms/leeches/minnows.....very few people use jigs and lures really not that I know anyway.
JH: you want to laugh ...take a couple of them down south US folks from the states way down south out on the ice for the first time and watch their eyes...the ice bends and it makes all kinds of noises as you move across it......if you are doing mach 900 on an snow machine you will not hear it.....when I dive out on the ice in my Jimmy, windows down and seatbelt off, doors unlocked and radio off so i can hear the ice. once they call unsafe ice I will follow their advice and not venture out on it ....

What do you use to catch them; do you lure them in to the steady "chink, chink, chink", of the empties landing on the pile?

- February 18, 2013, 14:05:18 PM D1 here is a post for Aidan seeing as he is doing all your scut work for you and he will most likely have to polish and get the bike ready for the first ride for you.
But when we go ice fishing it is in style, this is the shack we use, 4 computer chairs for comfort, we ahve a kitchen area and a stove to keep us warm. Four holes in the floor to fish through.
