Re: ice fishing flasher help?
 
If it's on a sunday i'm definetly in!!!! Starting to get a severe case of cabin fever already and just didn't fish the last two weeks! Don't know what the hell I'm gonna do when it really sets in. Haven't been on the ice in a long time but the auger is ready to go! Been going thru my stuff for the ice and for next year already Uggggg! Look forward to meeting some more of You Guys hopefully SOON or the wife's gonna strangle me! LOL Got an old hummingbird portable hoping to try out this year as well not a flasher it's a fish finder so we'll see how it works out. Main thing i guess is bottom depth and if you see some fishies I guess it's all good.

The good flashers will display a upper @ 0 thick solid band , @ bottom they will display basically same type band but thickness will vary in accordance with depth & bottom makeup! Soft bottom flasher will display a wide band indicating a absorption , while hard bottoms will show a
Ugh finer lines.
Fish will be noted in a band between bottom & top, larger bands indicate bigger fish , while a series of thin bands could be a schoolboy bait etc.
Drop offs will show as a series of vertical bands for the length of thedrop.
Flashers are excellent shallow water machines & most have that portability factor for esse of use!

Ok Saxmatt and Mikey, Ill set up a thread within a week or so. We need to have a safe zone for ice anglers that are a little scared of thin ice. Im pretty sure the majority of HARD WATER anglers on this site will agree that 6 inches of safe ice is sufficient. Hopefully we'll have that 6 inches in the beginning of January. What day is better for you guys, saturday or sunday? Its going to be a good time with some fish caught. Lets get em fellas. TIGHT LINES!!!

Yea man, ill be out there somewhere. I usually go on an ICE HUNT between Christmas and New Years just to check things out. Its kind of a ritual of mine. I drive around the entire day looking for the safest ice depending on temps during that time
