I have religiously iced fished since graduating from college back in 1988. I would typically set five tipups and hang out with the guys. Well, the peer pressure kicked in this year and I broke down and purchased a Marcum LX-5. I have fished this year with it on at least four different occasions and had no success, until yesterday. I finally got into a hole that had fish and I can now understand how much of a benefit the flasher is. My buddy was so impressed that he grabbed the jib pole out of my hands and proceeded to catch several fish.
It was definitely a confidence booster to see it work and validate that I have been working the tool correctly. Now to get into some real big fish in some big waters....
Have a great day!
