Re: Ice Fishing Tips for First Timers.........
Jeez don't get me started on ghetto rigging stuff to save money... I used to take an old kids sled and bungee a big Rubbermaid storage bin to it as a sled.
And I still just modify my boat ff to be my flasher with a milk crate as a base plus storage and a float made of foam insallation as my sounder. I got a jet sled jr which is pretty cheap this year from my wife for Xmas, it's the biggest that fits in my trunk anyway.
I splurged on an electric power auger so I could get into more holes instead of being dead tired from drilling by mid day. Unfortunately tons more holes and more areas covered has not equalled more fish for me yet!
Also if you want to get real cheap you can make a tip up by just wrapping some string around a pvc pipe. Stick something on it so you will see if it spins and that's it... Don't laugh, I did it and it worked! Those and a regular Rod with the top half pulled off to jig is how I started my first ice season haha
