Welcome back to the sport, Bob! I don't ice fish quite as much as I used to ... only because my son is busy with college. He always would be the instigator to get me out on the ice. Right now I'm looking forward to the open water season. I've got a brand new Yamaha trolling motor on my boat that I need to rig up and then I'll be out there chasing whatever wants to bite.With those Rapala electric fillet knives, I don't recommend using them on big fish (pike, lake trout, etc). The aggressive blades don't play well with heavier rib bones. I've burned up 2 of them doing that. They work perfect on smaller fish, though.
