Anyone overnight on the ice?

[petrgill]

Anyone ever stay overnight on the ice down here?  Waterman, Wordens, Stump?  Any advice?  Was thinking about trying it out this year.

I'm just North of you and will be camping out this year if you don't find anyone down there.

My goal is to do it at least once this winter. I have a tent shack (old Cabelas tube frame) that I'll have, with maybe a small heater....
With the truck at the shore for a backup...
Good luck.

You guys thinking about using bells or lights on the tip-ups?  I'm thinking bells but the wind makes me wonder if it'll work.

[hrlyridr77]

I'm stopping by a craft store this weekend to get bells. I'll try em out suring the day, and see if they work. I also picked uo a bunch of little glowsticks - I'll see how they work too.

I have bells on my traps. They work awesome during the day, and it's usually quieter at night. I'm planning on putting some reflective tape on my flags so I can shine a flashlight around and see which ones up when I hear the bell.

Reflective tape and bells may work, But once you have tried tip up lights you wont go back.. I have some frabill little shiner lights and they work Great !!   I just purchased some HT NightStar lights and I think they will work good too. 
Problem with bells is that if you miss it when the flag first goes up, they are pretty much useless.  Reflective tape works, but I perfer to just look out the window and know if the flag is up or not.. You can not miss these lights...

 I have been kicked off a couple of lakes here in MA by the police after dark. I don't know how it will be on those places.

That does sound good.  Introduces a new element.

Overnight fishing trips are awsome!! The best sound in the world is having the rattle reel next to you start spinning while your sleeping!! It wakes ya up Right Now!!
