Check this out! Its amazing!

Nice looking tipup!

I dont know why he pulled the gun I gave him crap about that,from what I heard it was a bunch of drunk teens out for a party on my land,and its a private lake with a huge no tresspassing sign at the beging by the highway and we have red dots painted on the trees the internation private property marker,well aleast they dident try breaking in and stealing the literly thousands of dollars in fishing gear and motors I got there.

LOL

Just got a call from the neibors out at camp that some people parked there car in our driveway igroring the NO TRESSPASSING signs and went ahead fishing. The neibors went over and scared them away with the ol 12 gauge trick Well the positive thing is i have some premade holes in the ice for them big ol brookies!

You can use regular mono,but it tends to freeze up and twist,by the way nice tipup!

Nice fish there! Its alot of fun catching your first king salmon!

Thats awsome!! Im going to try somthing like that out! I just got another idea,instead of using a dowl for the "rod" im going to use a old arrow shaft!It will fit in the door stopper and ill beable to fit a fishing rod tip in to one of the ends!

Broom stick seems like a good idea!

I use a #6 trebel hook with a 4-6 inch minnow on tip up,I also use the northland buck shot rattle spoons,and swedish pimple,cant go wrong for lakers with those spoons!

Good to hear you started! I still have to get some dowels,and the door stoppers most likly tomorrow!

Great idea

Thats my kind of christmas shopping!

Great idea! Ill try that too!

Thanks,I dont relly know what I was trying to say,another brain fart! How dose the door stopper get mounted on the dowel and hockey stick? Ive never done this so thats why I have all these stupid questions!

Thank you Dr salvinius! Another great idea to try! Do you have to set it down,then when the fish bites it sets the hook?

Thanks leechman! Going to try them out!

Thanks,ill probaly pick up some polar tipups on boxing day when there cheap thats the bonus of boxing day,everythings on sale! Have a merry christmas!

LOL!

Thanks! Ill give him a shout!

You might endup catching a swinefish!

The key for early ice fishing is finesse.Jig slow and use finesse jigs.Hopfully that will get you some fish

Thanks! Im targetting brookies and walleye with no shelter,im thinking of just buying some windproof tipups instead of going thru all the frustration and time on making them,im still open to some ideas on makin' them!

I watched that youtube video of it being harvested,amazing how close they got to him!Thanks for posting!

Live minnows on a swedish pimple produce jumbo perch,micro jig and a maggot,and my secret power bait leech on a black jig head,catches nice walleye, perch and trout!
