I have used that one too, but I always forget to set it in front of the heater to dry it out every night so I have to get a new one every year.[angelic]
A towl is a must for ice fishing, I am but one of vary few ice anglers out in my area you will find with a towl on hand, and actualy I use a shower hanger hook and hang the towl to the hamer loop of my carhardts so it is always ready. You would think that something like that would get in the way, suprisingly it dosnt. I dont forget to dry that out every night.[:p]
another thing I like to do is use the same hole over and over again day after day. most all of my buddies are the same way. if one of us gets there first we will open up all the regular holes, this saves time and reduces noise later and saves on gas if we only have to start the auger once. One of the funniest parts about using the same hole is, one mans presentation works in that hole while anothers wont even get a bite.
using the sinker on a string method, I put a treble hook on the bottom, drop it down and see what is hooked to it when I pull it back up. That will tell me for sure what I am fishing over, sand weeds or muck... and if the muck stinks, I will move cuz I know the fish will tast bitter as well.
