    I found these 2 units at my local CT.

     

    Humminbird Helix 5 Sonar Fish Finder $159.93

    Humminbird Helix 5 DI Fish Finder $194.93

    I was looking to convert one of them for ice fishing. Anyone have any experience with these units? Which one would you recommend?

     

    I'm a complete noob when it comes to fish finders.

  11. Tim Hale's huts are out

    Most hut rentals will have stuff to buy that you will need. If you need.

     

    Your post brought back the days of just tip ups and not knowing what was under the ice. If you want to feel the full effect of the old days, just get a couple of tip ups and try different depths.

     

    Thanks for making me remember the ole days.

     

    Crap, I need to charge my finder battery for the weekend. LOL

     

     

    I did the old days when I was in HS. Our science class did a 2 day trip to Lake Simcoe. They provided us with wooden tip ups and a bucket of minnows. I remember them telling us to drop our bait to the bottom and lift your bait a foot or 2 off the bottom. This trip was so much fun, I only went so I can get out of school.

  13. Cold, brutally windy... lots of ice and a few fish.

    I thought most people keep fish when caught through the ice. Yea, I agree that one is a bit on the small side.

     

    The pike I catch are from Lake Ontario and I release 99% unless it was fatally wounded. Also I don't eat fish much and not from Lake Ontario, I'm sure they're safe to eat but I don't think I can do it.

     

    If I were to try ice fishing this year in Lake Simcoe, I would like to keep some jumbo perch and a pike for the table.

  20. Recommendations on a Musky setup: Left hand baitcaster & 2 Piece rod?

    Thanks David for the recommendation.

     

    As for the Calcutta Conquest, it went over what I wanted to pay.

     

    I'm actually thinking of pulling the trigger on a Shimano Curado 301E for $340 tax in. Anyone here own this reel? If so what do you like to throw with it?

     

    I was also thinking of buying another setup down the road that can handle bigger baits with a one piece st.croix rod.

     

    But for now I think the curado 301E and a 2 pc st.croixpremier might be it at the moment.
