315 you got your post up before I was finished typing mine. Exactly my thoughts as well..
Let me in this discussion ..please Yesterday I was on the ice , I fish a small lake compered whit Oneida , when I got there four individuals already set tipups but they ware 75' apart if not more , now you do the math 20 tipups , is a rule regarding haw far tipups can be installed ? I jig only so I don't need allot of realstate .
No distance as long as they are present when the tipups are in
Thinking about heading out from William Park tomorrow afternoon, any advice as to what depth the bite is at out there?I'm going old school... hand auger and no electronics.
18' be ready for a dink fest.
Yah there is no rule on distance and I don't use tip ups but I would also think it depends on how deep your fishing to. If I did use them I would only spread them apart as far as the depth so they don't get tangled.
You have to place them 2x the the amount of line on the tipups, apart. If you get a fish on 2 tipups they can swim towards each other and tangle.. Have had it happen more than once...
Really??? you're gonna set 5 tip ups 300 yards apart and think someone isn't gonna encroach on your 1200 yard claim? That's a bit excessive....
I have an idea. The next time you think someone is to close to you just go drill a hole a foot from there hole and ask them if they don't mind sharing. Who know you may strike up a conversation or make them mad an move. Just a little taste of there own medicine maybe. By the way I don't fish next to someone who is alone out there. There out there alone for that reason.
Just as long as you don't expect me to bring the fish! 3 fish in 3 trips makes for a light meal!!!
We should have an IS Oneida Diehard cookout/fishing/meet and greet
It's all about etiquette. Fished Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday same spot. There was a group of four of us. Saturday guys sets up rather close to us. Ok no problem fish away. After ten. I ute she jumps out of his shanty waving his arms like he was having an emergency. Moments later here comes the entourage. 10 plus sleds and wheelers set up on top of us. Next day there are 50 to 75 guys on the same spot. That is BS any way you look at it.
Just get hold of Snagged now so he can get the eyes for us. I will bring the venison.
Hehe it'd be fun!
Bingo. You can drill just as fast with a good hand auger.
Not only a cookout but we all drill holes 10' apart and fish next to one another
