You going to set up your fishfinder on flasher mode & vertical jig any of your local lakes on a reasonably calm day. Try it, it's the cat's meow! Those fish are more frustrating on open water sometimes!

I am looking forward to doing that for fishing and bit of scouting for next winter.

[miket.]

mine too

i personelly wouldn:t be able to stop playing with it.all my ice gear is toyed around with or used during soft water.

  Put the AC on 60 and come in here.....Still not the same.  Come ON Ice!!!!!!!

[Gambler]

I have to turn up the heat to get it that warm.

At this moment, I am one of 7 users on the Shanty.... it is only May, and I am already missing the hardwater. And my new unused Marcum is just sitting on the shelf

If you have a boat, rigg it up on there & vertical jig a local lake in the am, when it's calm out. It's alot of fun watching the marks come up & hit your offering!  KEEPING THE ICE ALIVE!

[Cheeks13]

One of the Many,many,many things I miss about Ice season and ice fishing is....I don't have to MOW the grass....    I mow it but it's not one of my favorite things to do. Maybe I outta just buy a goat........

Grass, hehehe. We don't need no stinking grass!!!!!
Grass is a scarce comodity up here, we rake the gravel!!!!   
Or if we're really lucky we just look at a nice chunk of granite and do nothing!!!!!! 

[miket.]

sounds like a place for retirement!

[Pajns]

Retirement??   Heck...I'd move there NOW....LOL   

[miket.]

good point pajns!!!

I know that feeling  where I was in Alaska we had 1 piece of ground about 5' x5' next to the firestation that had grass  and the firechief used to be a former landscaper in the lower 48   we didn't want nothing to do with it but he was foolish about it   and wanted it cut all the time (where he found us a lawn mower I don't know )   mysteriously it all died.....   

[miket.]

just checking in , hope all is well with everyone and the lines are tight!

[mealworm]

yup the lines were tight this mournin it was a littlle breezy but the trout where on fire got 1 brookie 2 salmon and 12 rainbows in about 2 1/2hrs the only reason i stopped fishing was cause i ran out of worms

[SNAGGER]

I am looking forward to doing that for fishing and bit of scouting for next winter.

Have you tryed it yet, I got in about a half hour or so yesterday at the end of a fishing trip! My buddy doesn't ice fish, so he wouldn't let me do it til last half hour of daylight! I'll have my boat at the marina in a couple days. Then nobody will tell me when I can ice fish or when I can't! I used to love mowing the lawn, I can't stand it anymore! All I want to do is run down to the lake & use my X67C! 

[miket.]

good morning everyone, just checking in before i head over to the lake, and when thats done gonna go bang out a couple of stripers.

Not yet.  I still have to get a different transducer setup for my fl18,  I believe  there is a suction cup transducer that I can use.  But look forward to scoping out some lakes in Vermont soon.

[SNAGGER]

 Glad you said that about transducers, I'm making my Lowrance LMS 522 permanent for the summer on the transom mount. never thought to turn the flasher on that! I just throw the ice ducer over the side of the boat with my X67C & jigg under it, even though I have a summer transducer for it! It works fine! But wouldn't work for checking depths at fast speeds!  Have a great summer!

i use my x67c on my boat i rigged a holder for the  ice transducer so that it stays in the right position it works great on speeds up to 5mph i havn't gone any faster than that i havn't tryed it in flasher mode though just in scroll mode for trolling i just wish it had a sidefinder for seeing whats near the surface not just strait down

I don't know what your financial situation is, but I've got another lowrance for that reason! I'm not wealthy by any means I fish off a friends boat, but own 3 fish finders! Backwards!
