Wyoming > Ice Fishing Wyoming
Keeping ice-holes from freezing
LT:
When I was out at Ocean last night, there were a couple o' guys with those circular freezeless tipups ...I was clearing 1/4 inch every hour (10 degrees w/7 mph wind) and they never touched theirs. :woot:I really like my Frabills so a thought crossed my mind...gotta be a way to convert them, so I went over to Bloedorn's and they had a busted sheet of that 3/4 foam insulation which I got for six clams, cut it into 10 X 10 squares, then incised a 2 1/2 inch hole in the middle. I figger it might be a lil cumbersome, but less than trying to chop 1/4 inch of ice outta the hole when I have a flag... :clap: danged circular ones are $24.00 each! Anybody out there ever try something like this?

I have heard that works but I have never tried it before. I have never really liked tip-ups because of the maintenance factor of them. I did buy two of those artic warrior fishing rod tip-ups to use and we will see. Hope those work. I was hoping to go to Ocean lake today but I have to work. Oh well good luck.

Well, I won't know until Monday or so, my honey doesn't complain too much about th' excessive days spent fishing, but I do try to spend an equal amount of time with her and that would mean this holiday wkd....she really likes the wally filets, so that's a plus in my fishing-favor. I have a flat shovel that I'll clear the hole with before I set the rig down, but I'll be surprised if it fails to work. :tipup:
I lost a 2 pounder in the hole last night...yeppers, went right down that hole after him, mitten and all...laughed at me as he swam awaaaaaay.

Just drink lots of beer, and coffee. Then pee in hole every half hour or so. Works great!!!!! ;)

...and this you no doubt learned from our mutual buddy the 4 X 4 Elk-man who, by the way still refuses to tell the truck-wreck story. $3K damages...that's at least a broken tail-light. hee-hee ...Is a shot of Rebel Yell whiskey in my hot coffee a suitable substitute fer beer?????
el-Teeeeee :tipup:
