Chuck scores one!

Nice!  Any plans on using it right away or are you gonna hold out till you can get more?

I’m not sure which one you need but the Humminbird website has Live Chat.

Last year I called the Hummingbird factory in Cambridge to find out which ice ducer I needed for mine.  I tried searching for the number but it’s not showing up.

Also if you have a brand new transducer and want a ice ducer, the factory can swap it for you free of charge.

Similar, if not the same! You definitely don't want to mix an ElaZtech plastics with any other type of plastic. You also don't want to put them in a Plano-type box, just keep them in the original package. Don't put a used one back in either but they last so long, not sure why you would have to. LOL I sort my Z-Man plastics in Bass Mafia Money Bags, one for my dropshot baits, one for my punch baits, etc. 

I've experienced Elaztech melting my other platics before but what happens when you put a used one back in the original bag?

I have a bunch of Elaztech plastics but I haven't used them much. 

I want this

How about these joints?

Thanks, I was having a hard time with the links. 

Before they would just pop up but they weren't doing that for me today

Anyone following it?

See anything you like?

Is the pier still closed off?

That lake with a forest in it looks crazy!  Thanks for sharing. 

Instead of pulling a smitty by rope, has anyone tried building a push bar at the back like a shopping cart?

My buddy built these for his flip over.  I was thinking building the same.

Thanks guys

You will want a smitty. Question is, do you have a truck or car ?

Here is mine with the smitty upside down. Fits like a glove. I will be going from 10" lift to 12" next year.  Also going with the new style skis. My buddy used them last year. They glide so easy.

Both.

What are new style skis?

Are you pullin by hand

yes

build a smitty 

skidoo or  ATVs.  Not as much. 

Yup, pulling by hand.

Are the runners only good for when there are no snow on the ice?

I know its early but I just bought my first flip over ice hut and runners. 

I was wondering if I should build a smitty or will the runners be enough?

Thanks.  I'll keep you in mind

I have confidence in throwing spinnerbaits and swimjigs but not a lot with a chatterbait.  I guess I gotta keep working on it.  

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.  My only concern was getting tired but I guess its good exercise too

They started fishing has soon as they could hold a rod and not drop it in the lake.

My son was casting and reeling on his own at 5 and was fishing a zara spook on his own at 6 (I remember when I was a teenager and started learning, and then got the hang of, a walking lure and thinking what a "master" I was).

My daughter is 6 and handles drop shooting well on her own but hasn't got casting down too well yet. For the topwater lures I cast them out and then let her work the popper back to the boat while I try to get a cast in.

That's awesome!  In 20-30 years, they'll be the ones taking you out fishing and you be at the back taking a nap.

It's nice seeing full episodes posted on youtube.  Looks like most Fishing shows are doing it.

I rarely watch TV these days unless it's sports.
