I tried the black plastic sheet thing last year and it did not work to well for me. I would try to use snow and slush to hold the sheet down so the snow wouldn't blow it away, but when I put the snow on the plastic it would slide down to the slit I had cut then fall into the hole. By the time I got enough snow on it to hold the plastic down, my hole would also be filled with snow. I think something with a little backbone would work better such as pieces of luan or that plastic cardboard stuff.
Chip,and check!
I never had that problem, those plastic pallet covers are pretty rigid for their thickness.Did you cut a slit or a notch? And did you put it "under" the crosslegs of your tipper or over?Don't mean to drill you with questions, just that we have used them on about 30-40 trips.And the only one I ever saw blowin across the Lake came out of the hole with the tip up and they both went for the ride. never had to put snow on em either?Maybe we are using different types of plastic.Wellsy
I use these tipups most of the time (Image removed from quote.)And as far as jigging, pour few dabs of vodka in your hole, that usually works for a bit
