The way to go is to have a cabin on the ice and fish from inside, we put reflective tape on the tip ups and hit em with a spot light every 10-15mins. Been plenty of doubles, gets a bunch of drunks tripping all over the ice. Harder to do in Canada with the limits on lines, but better cabins.
Yes we have crappie fish on chat. one night I guy got on the radio and said the dec was coming with dogs. Best have been plenty of guys with things they did not want em to see guys were running all over the place.
No DEC I guess Aprils fools day came in March!!
