XC I got a giggle out of that that was good I'm just trying to come up with some type of strategy that makes sense. the fish know what it is so why shouldn't we?
Anyone have recommendations for a good place to try out this weekend for walleye/perch? Haven't been out ice fishing in years and a buddy and I plan to head out this weekend. Also what is the ice thickness like currently?
How is the ice for snowmobiles? Is there any snow or crust for the scratchers to keep the sliders lubricated or snow for getting on/off the ice?
not good Bart.......bare ice
I have scratchers, but do not work great on glare ice. I am a little on the heavy side and all my gear ride on the sled, so I like to have at least some crusty stuff. Crusty stuff...(Image removed from quote.)I don't like to beat up my sled on the ride on/off the ice also. Probably going to leave somebody a nice sled when I kick the bucket!
Would a second set of scratchers make a difference? looks like you have room.... not sure ...just some suggestions.( I have the manual up and down spring style scratchers that were only, I think, $45 dollars a pair)
Put me on the list after your son, Bart. lol
I have seen people have additional scratcher that is mounted on the skis, some a simple nut and bolt on the rear end to scratch the ice. As far as the spring style scratchers, they wouldn't last long with me, senility...
Yo Guys & Gals, I fished out of Jewel today. I got into the eyes early. Problem is they were all cooky cutter 12 inchers. Not a keeper all day long. Good thing I set the tip downs up at least I got 6 nice fat Oneida perch. Yo Old Timer, you got to come back up here and show me where they are my friend, the keepers that is. Boggey
I have a buddy that uses windshield washer fluid mixed with dish soap to keep the slick and he never has a problem couple squirts every time he moves
