pannies/ tip-ups, I want both

[Martian]

 my very favorite ice fishing plan is to be on a lake, set up 2 tip-ups, and take vexi, and jig rod, and go chase gills, while waiting for flags. We ocassionally go stricktly tipup fishin, with about 6 people, and that is fun even if it is not your flag up. I go to Fenton, Bush,Buell and used to go to neppesing.  I have seen guys go out, set up three traps, a chair , and wait. Not so much into that. For those of you who fish this way, (both) what is your favorite public lake that offers both oppertunities?

I go for the panfish and throw out a tip up and see if anything bites.  Thats how I roll.

I put two tip ups and and sit in a warm shanty pan fishing waiting for flags to go up.

Same with me....I can only pay enough attention to jig 1 pole for panfish at a time so I use my other 2 lines as tip ups. I just got a couple windlass tipups as a gift that I'm looking forward to trying. Anybody have much luck with them?

[Otsegoamigo]

I have not use the windlass tip ups, but they do look really cool to use though. I use frabill orange tip ups. I like them because they are circle which keeps the hole from freezing up and flat which keeps them out of the wind. I have been very successful with them. Also I do agree with you about handling two jig poles at once. I would rather have two tip ups in and jig with one pole.
