Anyone trying any new tactics or fishing different lakes?

[smeltshack]

Hey i was just in the ice fishing spirit when it occured to me that there may be some new ideas or techniques for catching fish this winter.   Any ideas yet??

Anything to make Slowbago   Fastsebago would be cool   

only a month and a half till we ride!!!!  yahoooooo

[Bluefinforme]

I am going to try peanut bunker for lakers this year

[billditrite]

i got a flasher in the offseason...that changes everything. on sebago i will be more mobile and will know exactly where the fish are suspending !! i will be able to go find the fish rather than hope they come to me.

[Sir Catchalot]

   have fun with that billditrite!

Been trying that method for years, it ends up being more frustrating than anything

It seems like, with that place anyway, either you are doomed for the day, or it is just meant to be!

One thing about being able to tell where they are suspended is that it really p's you off knowing that there are fish around, but you are still unable to catch them (trust me, I know!)

Make good on my promise to finally fish the 'bago Derby. (Note to self> Put in NOW for the vacation time) ; Hound the Big Dawg until he takes me to his secret crappie hole. ;  Glue bottle caps to my fingertips so I won't drop the fish down the hole before the Big Dawg takes a picture. ;  Partake in a perch fry with Billditaok. ;  Fish directly next to a certain somebody's shack on Sabbattus because as we all know......there is a pike coral set up beneath his shack. ;  Lastly: Put new batteries in the tracking device affixed to Backwater Guides 4-wheeler.

two words....."Super Worms"

[goneicefishin]

one word "dynamite"

but then again that may be why they call me three fingered jackson

[smeltshack]

Ha ha ha you guys are too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant wait to ice fish

[Dogman-]

I bought a brand new F-150 4x4 supercab,that counts as a new tactic in my book.Hope the fish will be sufficiently impressed and act accordingly.

[billditrite]

your gonna need at least three solid inches before you drive that new truck out on the ice mike!! safety first!

[jacksmelt71]

youre more daring than me scott! i dont go on with a truck until theres 12in. of good clear ice. 5in. on sled, 3 on foot. ive never fell through yet and i dont intend to. if you were just joking then disregard my rambling.

[big big rdg]

I wanna try jigging more this year and learn how to use a flasher.

DEFINATELY joking...   Mike has a really nice BIIIG beatiful brand new truck that i am willing to bet a dozen crispy cremes that he ia not gonna be driving that big white ford out there any time soon 

[shellback]

just got an aquavu underwater camera.been wanting one for a couple of years.now I can get really aggravated when I can see the fish and they still don't hit.I'm going to try and get out in the boat and check it out on some of the waters I fish.anyone have any experience or ever seen one in action?

[Sir Catchalot]

HAH!!!  you finally broke down and got one huh shelly! 

That will provide a little more action for those slow days at least 

[Dogman-]

Those crispy cremes would be all yours my friend,that truck isn't going out on any pond with less than 3 feet of ice on it!!And even then it would be unlikely.

[bigfish57]

[Adrock]

I always have plans of to get better at jigging but it never seems to happen.  Lack the attention span/patience or something.  Always wind up getting bored really quickly.  Maybe that will change this year.

I say the same thing each year and get bored quickly also. I took a few lessons last year from Jacksmelt, maybe this will be the year I get the hang of it.
