1. How do most guys layout there holes inside these tents? holes in the center with back to the walls or holes close to the walls and sit in the center?
do you auger holes AFTER the tent is set up? worry about the 2 stroke exhaust stink if cutting inside?
do you shovel all the snow off the ice inside
do the sunflower style propane heaters work okay, realizing the dangers of brushing against them, i see most using the "Big Buddy" heaters.
With the hook 5 or any transducer, how the heck do you keep it centered in the hole? as i hear guys saying it must be centered to give best results, does it need its own hole as i think that would be best but it probably needs to be right beside the hole you fish due to cone angle in water under 20ft?
Most of your questions have been answered but I wanna mention one thing that hasn't been about your transducer. It doesn't need to be hanging in the center of the hole but a float will keep it away from the walls of the hole. I hate floats so I let mine hang down the side but if it leaned against the side of the hole it would give me distorted info because it wouldn't be pointing straight down. I make sure my transducer clears the bottom of the hole so it's showing what's right under the ice. I often fish out of the same hole that my 'ducer is in so I got ok at pulling it out when I hook a fish, but it still gets tangled from time to time. So, if I'm feeling squirrely I'll drill an extra hole for my flasher. You can even get away with drilling one hole between 2 people for a flasher... if the holes are close enough and/or the water is deep enough.
