Ice fishing with my 570 DI portable
Can this be done safely? I haven't ice fished in many, many years. I've been watching quite a few Youtube video's with the flasher units but don't think I've seen anyone using a more conventional portable unit such as the one I've got. I'm concerned about freezing the display 'cause I'm not exactly sure whats inside that display. A couple of guys are already talking up the upcoming winter fishing season (give me a break, its still August!) and we got talking about my unit versus a flasher unit like the HB Ice series of electronics. Mine does have the "SwitchFire" capability. While perhaps not ideal, it seems as though it would be better than nothing. I can make up a gizmo for holding the transducer I'm sure but am worried about the head and display. Any input would be appreciated. Ken
