New user. Fish finder questions for ice fishing

[pidge]

Can't wait to get out for some Simcoe fishing. Got a date booked for the 16th and 17th. I'm going to use my brand new never used new to me fish finder and rig an arm or something for the transducer. For the the guys and gals that use there finder on the ice do you submerge the transducer down the hole until its completely under the ice and if so by how much?

The transducer just needs to get to the bottom of the ice..

If the ice is clear, clear off the snow and place a ziplok type bag full of washer fluid on the ice. Then place the transducer on that.. Works well if you only have a hand auger and no energy too.

Thanks Mike. I'll do just that then.

 

Clever idea I guess Paul, but I can only imagine the mess if it opens. No offense, but I rather not go the washer fluid route. Thanks though.
