Hey guys wondering if any of the electronically advanced members could weigh in I recently coverted my lowrance hds 4x to a portable n I was wondering if the digital flasher feature will read the same as a traditional dial flasher or are these two different types of "reads" if that makes sense also any tips on settings any members are aware you have to change on lowrance models when you change over to the ice ducer thanxs guys

ok guys so pretend you are a beginer to intermediate at best and you only had one day per year to fish northeast/akron area for panfish combo preferably perch first crappie second and gills third where would you fish for keeper fish not numbers of littles of course you can ad things like parking convience or nice helpful locals or other factors that help make the call thanks in advance guys

I am trying to trade my 8" Mora for a 6" Mora have a nimrod cordless drill adapter but 8" doesn't work  I live in columbus and I am leaving 2 am Sat morning for lake st clair michigan to take my son for his first ice trip for his 8 th birthday my Aug has some paint chipping 2 yrs old but blades are great works fine also would be willing to buy 6in Mora or any brand that would work with nimrod adapter within reasonable drive  of columbus thanxs in advance guys

I'm following up with a new question from a previous post guys Im wondering if there is a GPS app or even paper maps far as that goes that could get me some insight on private lake candlewood it's 250 acre lake according to the website looking for an area to start in

hell yeah it was got there 830a left 830p no action i was looking for during snow but in between the snow and rain begining the crappie heated up them the eyes started in once the rain started and hit steady until it really peaked near dark bout 430 the rain was relentless but so was i stopped counting eyes at 25 throwbacks only one keeper 17 in. very fat 3 keeper crappies two were 12 in. and threw back two channels one over 5 lbs took near 10 min to get em in hit on my new clam spooler combo 24 in ultralight 3 lb micro ice line meet up with a local named will we fished it out together he did good too looked like i had him beat and the tortise caught the hare he ended up with 5 nice crappie n a very nice gill we measured ice 9 and 10  in on scoop handle once all this rain on top refreezes should be pushing 11 to 12 in, when we walked off there was a good two inches of rain better bring boot spikes  all in all had sum great fellowship and good acton

ended up getting out 3:45 left 7:45 bout 4 hrs ice was expanding like crazy after 6 felt like earthquakes under our feet exspansion pushes all over saw a fourwheeler going in near dark if considering to bringing sno gos out this weekend  same about 5 inches maybe 6 where i fished 2 throwback eyes 1 channel 2 keeper gills 2 nice crappie fun night no worries weekends gonna be nice but i encourage you to check ur own path lots of new pushes

So got a first timer out with me fished with him till 5 am then he had to go one tip up bite all night till Sun came up but once the sun came up had steady action all day  stopped counting throwbacks at 13 one keeper eye over 16 and a respectable 11 3/4 crappie ice was good nothing under 5 in. N very clear wind chill was making ice all night and day was fishing 5 ft on ne corner of island w/house

i had this crazy idea of using a submersible hydraglo light right down a hole at night for crappie n eyes any ideas if this can attract in winter pattern pretty experienced in soft water but curious bout winter thanx in advance
