Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
It would seem that if you need 15 tipups to keep each person into fish than you are doing something wrong or your in the wrong place Tipups baited with shiners need to be "shaken up" every 20 minutes or so. I'm shocked when I see fishermen set out dozens of tipups over acres of lake and then disappear into a shanty or hop on a snow machine not touch any of the tipups unless a flag pops up!!If I tend them regularly 5 tipups and 1 jig hole keep me busy all day and I catch lots of fish.Dick
Try fishing walleye on Champlain. You will wish you had 50 tipups!
got to be careful setting tip ups that far apart, some of the game wardens might cite you on that even using binoculars and having a sled.
I dont think i could stand having 3 or four a person, imagine going out in a group of five and having 15 tip ups out! That would suck. Although it would be a lot cheaper !!!!
The best thing about setting up with a bunch of guys is you find out quickly if there are fish in the area or not.. Lots of fun. I think the most we ever had n one spot was 7 or 8, with 8 tip ups set out each. Time flies by like that. And the food!!!
