not from your area but sure someone out on the ice will be willing to show you what they do ...everyone has a different style of fishing with the equipment they have so it's all the same but different approaches...My suggestion would be to make a scouting trip to a lake where guys are fishing and walk around and ask them questions on the techniques and what they are targeting some will tell all and others won/t give up anything...Don't be rejectted by this,,,they are or think they have the secret to that monster catch,,,,collect info you can use for the type of fishing you want to do....I fish from dark to dark with the mentality they only make so much ice and I'm on it as much as I can.this might not be good for taken children so you might have to adjust your times to make it enjoyable for them.Hope this helps...pm with any questionyou might have,,,, Fin
