New toys

Rigged up some window blue tooth sensor on to my tip ups tonight. Can’t wait to try them out. Heard the range decreases in the cold so I think I’ll make some insulated boxes for them.

Great idea! I'm glad I'm not the only one ready for ice fishing.

I was hoping to have my shack out a couple weeks ago but haven’t had time to get it out yet

Ice fishing? I don't know if that's for me. I've heard of it but never tried it out.

Tried it years ago when I lived in Montana and was alright but pretty boring unless you hole happened to be right in a hot spot. Keep thinking I'd like to try it again but it was 31* with a bit of wind doing chores this morning and I just don't go as good in the snow as I used to. Probably pass now. Recall the first hole I did in the ice in Montana. Foys Lake near Kalispell. Only had an ax to dig it with and come to find out the ice was about 2' deep! had a hole about 4' around on top and last shot with the ax broke through and hole filled up with very cold water right away. I went home right then!

If a guy didn’t ice fish here wouldn’t have much fishing time. I don’t fish in the fall cause it’s hunting season so open water fishing for me is basically June through august. Where ice fishing is December to end of March

The more you talk about Saskatchewan the more I think I'd love it there.

Have you been able to use them? How did they work for you?

I rigged a little sounder on my tipups. I usually spear so I run a tip up outside and don’t want to constantly be peeking out the door. I have a 9volt sounder hooked up to 9v battery wired into a mercury tilt switch attached to the flag. Works but always looking for other cheap effect means

We need some mods for next year. The cold weather kills them quickly so I plan to make some insulated boxes and throw some hot coals in a can to keep it warmer in there. Now we have so much snow I have to haul all my equipment out in a sled so no room for tip up boxes
