I realize I am not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to technology but when I looked at flashers I just didn't 'get' them. I then looked at a Showdown and it immediately made sense so I bought it.
It was an immediate game changer for me also!
Ice season just used to be just something I did between goose season and first walleyes at UL at ice out.
Watching that dang Showdown became addictive. Last year I caugh t carp, muds, and channels through the ice, multiple trips. The most amazing thing was the hook was not actually in their mouths. I would just watch the graph until the lcd jig bar met the lcd fish bar for half a second and then set the hook. 90% of the time these "weird" ice season fish (carp, muds, and channels) would be hooked just barely on the outside edge of the lip.
I got so addicted I was fishing UL harbors last year so late in the year I fell through the ice. I think that was late feb or maybe even early march.
Dont buy an ice finder. You will catch too many fish and then I will catch less!
