Skud Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I really thought Lady Simcoe had my number when came to icefishing for Whitefish. But on open water, she really puts the screws to me. Would be nice to have some calm water for once. I spend more time trying to get the anchor to hold then actually fish. But at least the last time around I was allowed to bring up a couple of Herring and one Whitey. The waves beat me into submission eventually but I had my prize. Thanks for the tips Chris.

BillM Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Skud, one thing I have learned.. Get 6ft of chain and attach it to your rope, if you don't you'll have problems holding even with the heaviest anchor.. I also learned that the hard way out on Simcoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skud Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I put 9 feet of 3/8 chain on my anchor just before I went out and caught those fish. It did help because I would of had no chance of holding without it. Great workout bring it up with 120 feet of rope. I still am going to upgrade my anchor too though.
