Hit up a couple of the local watersheds this weekend and had pretty good luck! :biggrin Saturday I iced 20-25 gills, 20-25 small crappie, and 2 LMB's. This morning I iced 45-50 gills and 8 or 10 crappie and one LMB!!:biggrinAttachment 145591Attachment 145592Attachment 145593Attachment 145594Attachment 145595Attachment 145596Attachment 145597Attachment 145598Attachment 145599Attachment 145600Attachment 145601Attachment 145602
Great pictures, your my hero!
Very cool I have never ice fished
That looks like it would be fun. Won't ever get the chance down here though. :thumbup:
Thanks for sharing!
Nice Joe, I got on some ice a couple weeks ago with my (drum roll) new auger, everythings a toss-up now. Just waiting on some ice or a ramp.
I bought a new Strikemaster Lazer 8" hand auger on clearance this Summer and I haven't used it yet, I'm still using my Mora 6" and it is still pretty fast, I usually have 2 holes drilled and well into the third hole before those guys even have their gas augers started!:biggrinQuote:

I wonder if we can ice fish the neighborhood ponds. lol
Have any issues w/ the Showdown? Thinking about getting the Troller 2.0.
Cnote, I use the original troller I haven't upgraded to the 2.0 and like it just fine. Three years ago it was my first flasher, its like night and day just having any flasher, I wouldn't fish without it now. And i havent had any problems with it at all. Joe are you using castration bands? Do you like em better than tape?
Cannon, thanks for the info. Do you have the carrying case w/ charger and battery or do you just use the AA batteries and carry it around in your pocket? Just wondering if it's worth the extra $50.
No I was a poor college kid when it came out so I just use the AA battery's and a soft case lunch box...it works just fine. One thing about the battery's is AA's only last about 8-9 hours not the twenty they say, just keep some extras. If the doc gives me the OK tomorrow to get back on this broken ankle I'd give ya a demo
Yes the bands don't get slick when wet like the tape does.
As far as the Showdown goes, I absolutely won't fish without it! One of my buddies Vex's was causing a lot of interference on my Showdown one day and I couldn't catch a fish! It's like shooting into the dark trying to fish without it!
