General Discussion / HOMEMADE ICE FISHFINDER

« on: October 19, 2010, 11:57:16 AM »

HAS ANYONE TAKEN A REGULAR FISFINDER AND USED IT ON THE ICE? I HAVE SEEN SOME OTHER STUFF ON THE NET WHERE SOMEONE HAS MOUNTED A REGULAR FISHFINDER TO A BOX OR BUCKET, INSTALLED A BATTERY AND SUSPENDED THE TRANSDUCER FROM A HOMEMADE SUPPORT OF SOME KIND. THEY COMMENTED THAT IT WORKED WELL. ANYONE HAVE ANY COMMENTS.

THANKS

General Discussion / SCHOOLEY TYPE REELS AND ROD

« on: February 27, 2010, 11:48:56 AM »

I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THESE TYPE OF REELS. HOW DO THEY WORK. I HAVE READ THAT THE DONT PUT ANY TWIST ON THE LINE AND ARE A OLD STAND BY FOR SOME PEOPLE. HOW DO YOU "CAST" OR RELEASE THE LINE AND DO YOU "REEL" THE FISH IN WITH THE KNOB OR DO YOU DO SOMETHING ELSE. THESE LOOK LIKE A VERY SIMPLE LOW COST IDEA. I HAVE A COUPLE OF 24" HT RODS THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT MOUNTING THEM ON. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THANKS

General Discussion / ICE FISHING RODS,REELS AND AUGERS

« on: February 09, 2010, 01:43:06 PM »

HEY FELLAS

SINCE I HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A VEXILAR , WHAT GOOD QUAILITY ICE RODS AND REELS DO YA'LL RECOMMEND. I WOULD LIKE TO SETUP 3 COMBOS FOR ME AND MY SON TO USE. WE WILL FISH MOSTLY FOR PANFISH BUT IF I LUCK INTO A WALLEYE OR SOMETHING I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THEM. ALSO IF ANYONE HAS A GOOD SOURCE TO PURCHASE THEM THAT WOULD BE HELPFULL. I DO LIKE THE SENSITIVITY OF GRAPHITE RODS ! LASTLY WHICH MANUAL AUGER IS A GOOD ONE FOR THE MONEY?

SINCE I AM A NEWBIE I WANT TO GET THE RIGHT STUFF FROM THE START AND NOT WASTE ANY MONEY OR TIME.

THANKS EVERYONE!

HEY YALL

I AM NEW TO THE SITE AND I LIKE IT VERY MUCH. I LIVE IN THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE STATE EAST OF CINCINNATI AND WE USUALLY DONT HAVE MUCH SAFE ICE TO FISH AROUND HERE. I WAS WONDERING WHAT WOULD BE THE CLOSEST LAKE TO ME THAT I COULD FISH ON A REGULAR BASIS THAT USUALLY HAS SAFE ICE? I AM NEW TO THE ICE FISHING WORLD AND DEFINITLY WANT TO GET INTO IT. ANY INFO THAT ANYONE HAS WOULD BE GREAT .
