Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
I like the fact the beer is plural
I use rubber bands on the top of my tip-up'sThey act like a drag system to not allow the fish to empty the spool. This shows me how aggressive the fish really is when I approach the tip-up. If the rubber band is wound tight I immediately bring the fish in, if it's going back and forth I feed line to the fish. It seems to work great Good post(Image removed from quote.)
I think its illegal not to yell and RUN!
My favorite way to approach a flag is to be with a couple of newbies so I can sit back in my chair and watch them go and attend to the tip up. Then they have to come back after catching the fish to get pliers to pull the hook out of the toothy critters mouth. Usually after that they need to walk back and get a new minnow to put back on the line. It is very enjoyable to see how long it takes for them to gather everything before attending to the flag. Yes it is fun to me because I learned the hard way!
Well it depends on if I see the flag before one of my 3 hoodlums do, if I see it first I slowly walk over and pick it up if the kids see it the yelling starts then as I read in the earlier pages "tackle flag" then comes into play!
