MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
My flasher crapped out on me after 5+ years. Good thing is Marcum has an awesome repair policy...While waiting for my flasher to get fixed I have tried a few trips without it. Fishing blind really takes the joy out of ice fishing for me... I think I'd rather catch a few on the flasher than catch a mess of fish without one haha. Does anyone on here still fish without a flasher? I don't know how you do it!!! I know they are expensive but well worth it!
I feel like the lone coyote here...I've never used a flasher.
I never have used one. But I have never really fished a place in the winter that I havent fished alot at during the summer. So I usually have a decent idea of where I like to fish and a few spots that I know have some structure.
I did the same for years, and always caught fish. What I find with the flasher is that there are often fish that will come through high in the water column that you would never even know were down there. These are often the most aggressive fish and will often bite when the fish near the bottom are window shopping. it is pretty fun to mark a fish up high, reel up to it and get it to bite!
GemCitySlayer, I see you are a big fan of the Marcums. Which one have you found most reliable?
I had a flasher, sold it to move. Now I really miss it...Haven't caught a keeper in 3 trips. You pay more attention to things though. It's tough. I give credit to the old timers
Still blind, somehow 25 nice gills found their way into my bucket!!
